Nail Polish Shoe Redo

Here's a simple and inexpensive way to redo a well-worn pair of shoes with nail polish!

 I LOVE SHOES!

I know I 've said that before, but truth is truth.

 

This pair of heels is one of my absolute favorites.

I dig their retro/40's/pin-up vibe!

 

The problem?

I have worn them out.

Exhibit A: 

Waaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

 

Well, I had to do something about it!

I saw some nail polish at the store and thought,

"That's the same color as my shoes I can't wear any more. . . . . ."

LIGHT BULB!!

  

I started by peeling and scraping off the tattered heel over-lay.

 

Then I got out my polish!

This particular, shoe-saving color is from Carrie Underwood's Collection from Nicole by O.P.I.

It's called Backstage Pass {Product Code: NIU07}.

 

I taped off the edges, upper and lower, with regular masking tape

and started to paint with the nail polish.

 

I found that I had to work rather quickly because it dried so easily.

I recommend doing a few coats, letting it dry for 30 minutes between coats.

I let them dry over-night before removing the tape.

 

 Good as new and ready to rock! Woo-hoo!!
