They had a Shellacking

I like to collect shells when we go to the beach, and whilst they look beautiful, colourful
and shiny when I pick them up still wet, they look very dull and colourless when they dry,
so I Googled the various methods of brightening them up, tried baby oil at first but then
a man on a beach last week told me to try Shellac, so I sprayed them all and
think they look pretty good and will be a nice decoration for the bathroom!
