Rose water can be found in stores for oriental food (I found it in my local supermarket, but then I'm in Sweden, so it may not apply for you)Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380497568603304818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855154355147753086.post-82566153385836187152011-04-25T10:47:57.743-07:002011-04-25T10:47:57.743-07:00I'm actually looking to try this in the coming...I'm actually looking to try this in the coming week for my Monday feature...and I'm a little scared. lol. I've looked around online and in some random books I have but it seems like it's going to be a lot of work regardless.

I knew that women tinted their nails before nail polishes were invented in the twenties, but I had no idea how they did it. I wonder what that liquid enamel really was- I get the feeling it wasn't really made for nails, but had more purposes.
