My Skates Have Wings

Recently I bought some new (previously loved) figure skates. The ones I wanted cost too much brand new and were way outside my budget, so I bought used ones in a similar style (Gotta say I like used skates they're easier to break in. Not so much pain in making them comfy). Since they were a bit scuffed in places I decided to add my own touch. While I left the scuffs in most places (shows I work hard at landing those jumps and getting the footwork fast), I painted wings on the outside heels of each boot. So far I've had no complaints the wings are helping me fly when I'm on the ice. I painted them with gold and silver acrylic paint, outlined with a blue sharpie, then sealed it with clear nail polish.
