New Nail Polish And Some Painted Heads...

Had to go to the doctor this morning and while I was waiting for my RX..I meandered over to the nail polish department......and found some new colors, I just had to have......I stopped at five bottles !!..

Plus here are some heads I painted in my "spare time"...!!

Those will make some pretty toes.... Ummm I mean jigs!!! Lol I remember the look on my wife's face when I threw a couple of bottles in the basket one time.... Priceless!!

WOW! Those heads look great. How many coats did it take? Any base coats first?

Thank You !!..:icon14:.....Yes I use a base coat first..then two coats of polish and then one coat of Hard As Nails..!!...


ML..

They look as good as any powder paint LRB!!

Nice paint jobs!!!!!!!!

They look real good...you need to reset the date on your camera though...

Excellent...

As good as any powder Ive seen....Great colors ML ....

I wonder if a fellow could get one of those nail polish folks to sell you some in quarts . Would have to beat heck out of the price you pay for tackle paint and ten times the color choices . Good looking stuff ya got there .

What do you use for your base coat?

Nice work MaryLou....

Those look great!

Those look really good.

The latest fly tying epoxies (see Papaperch's posts) are rekindling my interest in using nail polish once again. I can have several jigs painted with nail polish and dried in a matter of a very few minutes. Then, apply a quick-curing epoxy that dries in seconds. I plan to check into more about these epoxies if I can make a trip to the fly shop in the near future.

Very nice painted heads, awesome work ML

Waaaaay cool painting ML - time to tye

Kindly exhaust the fumes.
