Bought some clear coat+glitter powder paints recently, been wanting to spice up my paint jobs a bit.
Found out its pretty difficult to get a good application really. I wound up putting an extra perf board (kind used for electronics) that I had from other tinkering on a wire frame. I could sit the powder paint cup under it, and using a tiny plastic coffee stir/spoon, ladle small amounts onto the "screen". There is enough room to hold a bait under it, and with a few light taps, it spreads the paint(glitter) pretty evenly.
First few I tried I noticed getting the glitter even/somewhat light, left the clear coat blotchy and gave an uneven finish. I had bought a UV clear coat as well, so I tried applying the stick on eyes, and dipping in the clear coat. Made for a much better finish, and I'm sure will last much better than nail polish over the eyes.
