In a container or plastic bowl with warm water, pour a few drops of nail polish. Then dip the bowls into the water with the polish and coat thoroughly in the polish. The varnish will coat the surface of the bowls. After immersion you should leave them in a safe place to dry completely. The resulting pattern can be additionally protected with colorless nail polish.
