Testing a new painting technique

Testing a new painting technique:
A Jetta, no make that a Golf, painted with a marbleized effect using nail polish:
I started by making a small hole on the roof then plugged it with tape, turned it upside down and then filled it with water. I drizzled different colors of nail polish over the water then drained the water, letting the nail polish fall where it may.

A Jetta painted
That technique is so wild that it turned a Jetta into a Golf

A Jetta, a Golf and a Rabbi walk into a bar- stop me if you heard this one...
Looks awesome! Can it be done with acrylic paint other than polish?

I'd imagine any paint that doesn't mix with water would work, but I have no guarantees.

Have you spotted the screaming clown in the stripes?

Once, when I was a small child I watched my mother kill a spider. Years later I discovered it was not a spider but my uncle Harold.

Finally, a use for all the extra nail polish I have lying around.
That looks really cool. I'd never have guessed that method in a million years. I think theose colors work well together too.
I have mostly varying shades of red, but only because it matches most of my shoes and handbags. I
do have one shade of blue, but I swore I'd never wear it again. That night was a catastrophe! I show up at the ball and Sara Ferguson is wearing the same gown that I am!

My date tried to console me, but I had to demand that we leave. That was supposed to be my night damnit!

Only until I convince them to replace the coffee machine with a kegorator.

The front of that Golf reminds me of a Jimi Hendrix poster from way back. Cool.
