Refurbished Earrings

I have a lot of old earrings that are either worn out or out-dated so thought I would freshen them up with a little paint job.

I grabbed the below earrings and thought, I haven't worn these in forever so I must not like them anymore, I shall paint them. I sat there for a day or two wondering what color to paint them. I had my big bin of nail polish out on my counter and happened to look down and BAM there is was looking at me, the perfect color to do them in was looking right at me. I  think I got pretty lucky on this one because of the crevasses on the metal, it turned out to make the earrings look kind of vintagy, don't you think? Super fun! I used a matte green color from Nordstrom.
