DIY phone case

So last Christmas I finally got an iPhone and one of the things I was most excited about was getting a pretty phone case. Unfortunately they can be expensive. And if you're anything like me, it's hard to find one you really like. I find that the harder cases are nicer but they always break on me. I prefer the gel cases because they last long and are easy to remove and put on. The one thing I don't like about the gel ones is that it starts to get dirty and slightly discolours. And I don't know about you, but I'm not about to keep buying new cases. So I had the idea of painting my old case with nail polish. It's great because if you make a mistake you can just use nail polish remover to fix it and if you get tired of the colours/design you can redo it. After I finished painting my design I used a top coat over it just to give it that extra shine and smooth everything together.
The colours I used for this from top to bottom are:
Essie Go Ginza
OPI Elephantastic Pink
Essie In the Cabana
Essie Play Date
