Nail polish Painting!
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, July 4, 2003 12:19 PM
Recently I've noticed a few really top-notch paint jobs done with Nail polish? Anybody done this?

Do you need to thin it, or just apply and let dry? Brush or airbrush? Any tips....please share!

I have heard of nail enamel being thinned and sprayed. Actually, I have airbrushed my wife's nails before. If you use nail enamel, you should probably prime with Floquil Barrier to be safe. I thinned about 50/50 with acetone when I painted her nails. It has very loud fumes so use only in a well ventalated area.

I use Duplicolor primer, and thin the nail polish 50-50 with laquer thinner. Nail polish is usually tranclucent, so you will need to build up your color. Hope this helps. Any questions, shoot me a email.
