I get the fake fingernails at the "Everythings a Dollar" store for a dollar! The more expensive ones available elsewhere really don't work as well, as they are heavier. A quick scissor trim and shaping with the $1 nail files I got at the same store does it. I then color them yellow with a Sharpie. I've used super glue in the past, but the easiest and quickest way to attach the Mustaad 34007 #2 hook is with a mini hot glue gun. The I coat them with a little 5 minute epoxy and using a salt shaker, I cover them with ultra fine glitter (from Wal-Mart). I do this over a box so that I can catch the excess glitter and return it to the salt shaker. Then after the 5 minute is set, I go over it with a thin coat of 30 minute epoxy and put them on a drying wheel. If you are careful to only use very thin coats of epoxy, they only weigh 1 gram each.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_FZ5Aopf8Cq8/SCRHcI9pPXI/AAAAAAAAAHg/vWG5SEYToC4/s1600-h/spoons.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_FZ5Aopf8Cq8/SCRHcI9pPXI/AAAAAAAAAHg/vWG5SEYToC4/s320/spoons.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198358418660343154" /></a>Butch Ammonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03434163452153735957noreply@blogger.com
