    It is a brilliant idea, but unfortunately the necklace in question is
    not just a simple strand of "pearls", but a five strand necklace! So
    the thought of hand painting hundreds of glass beads with nail polish
    fills me with dread. I am therefore looking into the possibility of
    being able to find a pearlised spray paint with perhaps some sort of
    etching primer as an undercoat. Any recommendations gratefully
    received.
