Ahh...hemm...

Actually there are several of us on here that use fingernail polish. I won't name any names and I'll plead the 5th on my own behalf. See the Shelllcracker Swap thread to see who's into that stuff :D. Bunch of weirdos on the internet you know...

Allright allright, being serious now, I did see that they had some fingernail polish in a pen-looking applicator the other night when I was at Wal Mart. I got the regular stuff that comes in a bottle, so I don't know how the pen-applicator polish works. But I imagine it's the same stuff, just in a different container. Give it a shot. Your in good company here :D.

I use it.... on jigs

Try some and let us know how it turns out. I prefer powder and vinyl jig paint myself although I have tried some of my wife's nail polish and she has a lot but havn't been thrilled with the results.Probably just me but I can't get a smooth head like I do with the other paints.Maybe I can use some pointers.

Great tip - haven't seen them - yet.

that would be great for eyes if the tip stays neat and does'nt gump up. (Girly voice) I hate it when my polish gumps up and I can't do a thing with it. lol

I did see those pens as well... :o probably get one sooner or later. :D

JJ - Here's what I've learned. It's definitley not all the same stuff, some works good and some not. The thinner consistency the better. I always under paint with white if doing a color that's not dark and top coat with hard as nails. The top coat seems to make everything smoother. Some of the clear stuff with glitter make a pretty neat finish over another color. I did mine in swap #7 with nail polish, you will be gettin them soon.

cool can't wait to get it. I use clear hard as nails over acrylic paint for my eyes and it seems to work and hold up good,

nail polish hmm no i would neaver use that stuff /cough /cough but i heard if you can get your hands on car flake and put just a bit into hard as nails with 2 bb's it gives a very nice look
but realy the pens i have seen them and been asking myself the same thing how would it work for eyes

[Jiggin_Joe]

ok I just confessed to my wife that i talk fingernail polish with a bunch of guys and well after the wierd look she told me that the pen does'nt actually have a pen like tip but a wide kinda brush like tip so guess that wont work for me.
