Case modding, the polish way

by

If you're still using CD-Rs like me, and you store them in cardless "slim" jewel cases, you've probably noticed that text written on the spine is pretty invisible:

But fortunately there's always that bright-colored nail polish you never actually use.

[Image: The above jewel case backs being painted on the inside with a pink glitter nail polish called 'Maybelline New York Mini Colorama 03 Tutti Frutti'.]

Text appears! It's magic!
