Cute billiard nails!


Billiards evolved from a lawn game similar to croquet played sometime during the 15th century in Northern Europe (probably in France). The term "poolroom" now means a place where billiards is played, but in the 19th century a poolroom was a betting parlor for horse racing. Billiard tables were installed so patrons could pass the time between races. The game of billiards and the poolroom became connected in the public's mind. Today, the two terms are used interchangeably. Pool is one of the safest sports in the world. The dome on Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home, conceals a billiard room. In Jefferson's day, billiards was illegal in Virginia.
So lets make some pool nails! First use red and white nail paint to make 11th ball on the index finger. Then use yellow and white nail paint to make the 9th ball on the middle. Apply blue and white paint to make the 10th ball on ring finger. Use green and white in the pinky finger to make 6th ball. And make 8 ball on the thumb using black and white nail polish. Use thinner brush to write the numbers of the ball. Finally some transparent nail polish to make it shiny. (^_^)
