1. Clean and dry the measuring cup or spoon.
2. Brush nail polish directly over the engraved numbers.

4. Wipe across the surface with a paper towel or cotton pad dipped in rubbing alcohol.
5. The polish inside the engraving stays put, while the excess wipes away.

🧩 Best Results

• Use white or light-colored polish on dark metal, or black polish on light metal.
• Choose regular or gel polish — both last several months.
• Avoid quick-dry formulas; they don’t bond as well.

🕒 Durability

• Lasts 3–6 months depending on washing and scrubbing.
• Easy to touch up — just repeat the process when it starts fading.
