I wouldn't try to remove the finish you may end up with something worse then
what you started with. Buy some new beads to use in the project.

I have some plain glass 'gem' beads that have a rainbow/mirror finish on
them. Cheap beads really, but I was wondering how to remove the rainbow
finish off the beads. I saw a project in the Michaels Project book to
make
magnets with decoupage (sp?). I wanted to use these beads because they
are
really a nice size but you can't see through the rainbow finish very well.

Thanks so much everyone!
