Distress your Kymera Wand

Step 12Apply polish

Apply polish
Black or brown shoe polish as a very simple way to add the finishing touch to any distressing project. Just like the paint, apply it where you think dirt might have collected over the years and then polish off first with a brush and then with a soft buffing cloth.

Don't be afraid to go over this (or in fact any of the distressing stages) any number of times to build up a nice, deep, high quality finish.

As you polish off the shoe wax you'll see the lovely look of work worn ivory staring right back at you!
