One of the many accessories it came with are these shoes:
They look pretty awful, not something you'd want to see in a boutique! So I decided to repaint them because they will only be on display, so it doesn't matter if the paint makes them go hard.I had a bit of a 'brain-wave' and I decided to paint them with nail varnish. I didn't have anything to lose because they were so horrible!
The result was a smooth, glossy finish. They now look like red patent leather shoes! No brush stroke marks and it dried so quickly.
I used Barry M regular nail polish (£2.99) in 262 Bright Red.

They look much better now in my opinion! I was going to paint the buckles gold but my mum said they looked better just red.Also, Happy Easter, hope the Easter Bunny bought you all lots of chocolate :)
I think the shoes look a lot better now in red! Didn't think of using nail polish! Very good idea!
