By now you’ve probably seen the marbled fingernail polish look.  But did you know that you can use the same technique to add a marbleized look to other things too?  Aunt Peaches decided to try it out on a pumpkin and the results are truly stunning!  And while it looks like this pumpkin took painstaking hours to paint, you can actually achieve this effect in just a few minutes, no artistic ability required.  Plus it’s a great way to use up some of those colors you never use or ones that are older and starting to get a little gummy.  [how to make marbleized pumpkins]
