4. No, I haven't actually tried the fingernail polish method on old costume jewelry myself as yet.

But I should've specified I meant REAL JUNK that's no longer fit to wear unless you fix it up somehow. Or maybe you see something in a thrift shop or yard sale and like the shape but not necessarily the condition. I wouldn't dream of touching good old costume jewelry. Sometimes you can make an interesting wall display with it also.

Since I was a set decorator for awhile, I still like to do that sort of thing; one of my bedrooms is designed around a children's theme as a flimsy excuse to display my dolls and stuffed animals. Sometimes I deck the latter out in pretty wild jewelry and/or outfits. No telling what goes on upstairs when I'm away! One 4' tall multi-colored chenille rabbit wears a viking helmet with a leather shield and toy plastic sword. Etc. Miss Piggy outdresses them all - she's almost hidden under the jewelry and crown and wand, etc.
