Will painting sea shells with clear nail polish make them prettier/shinier?

Shells always look better when they're wet, and I want to make an attractive necklace of shells I found in Cuba. Does nail polish give a pleasing effect?

Maybe.

But won't it peel off?

I'll suggest that sealant thing that smells weird..ugh I forgot the name? Haha.. I think it's like Mod podge or hodge podge or something like that? Sorry..maybe you can figure out the name?!
Reply:Yeah, use clear nail polish. It might peel off later on, but you can always redo it.
Reply:yeah it does or try decopauge glue.....it might peel tho!
Reply:Thats a welll cool idea :)

errmm...i think that would eventually peel...but what u could try doing is putting a couple of layers of it on ... or you could try PVA glue or varnishing them, that shouldent peel, but remember 2 do a couple of layers !

good luck !!!
