No problem 😀 Just don’t glue the eyes in when he’s done (or jewel, if it’s a dragon).
gotcha! now S wants to know where you found the magic paint *honestly 🙄 i seem to have some really nosy children somedays…*

As everyone else said, use at your own risk! Nail polish is not intended to be archival and most will yellow over time. Plus, it is non-water based and can suffocate the gypsum, so to speak, if used in large areas (small areas seem to be okay). You can try it but it is at your own risk and with the knowledge that it may not look pretty indefinitely! 🙂

Go to an auto parts store. I got a can for $12 bucks. 🙂 Worked AMAZING!

They were green/blue, green/purple and green/orange. They were interferences, so they’d look best over black. I haven’t really tried out what I got much yet, so I can’t offer testimonials to how good they look either, but they should be breathable and archival. I’d be happy to send y’all the ones I have to try (purple and blue).
Maybe someone makes other/better colorshift acrylics?pipsxlch wrote:It’s not the same color range/choice, but I did find some Golden colorshift acrylics.

I bought mine from a small artist supply house that apparently feeds the university students in the area. The Michaels near me no longer has Golden. It was a few months ago so I no longer remember the price, but I think it was the same as all the other Golden paints, and is in 4 oz. bottles. I’d be happy to share what i have with someone (would take me years to use it all), or pick some up for them.
$30 for 4 oz!?! 😮 I’d need to be able to sell my pieces for a couple hundred dollars or so for that, and I don’t have that much confidence in my work!pipsxlch wrote:I bought mine from a small artist supply house that apparently feeds the university students in the area.

Way too expensive. But the paint I’m talking about is an automotive paint, so I suppose that’s a contributing factor.
I’ve looked before for the golden paints. Can’t find them anywhere, including online.
I seems Michaels is slowly, but surely, not carrying things I use anymore. A few months back I tried to get some airbrush medium (as I always bought it there before, in two different brands) and they stopped carrying it. Stopped carrying quite a bit. Wonder why. Needless to say I don’t go there much anymore.Dick Blick has the multi-colored Golden Interference. Look for the colors with the word “New!” next to them, right below the Historial colors 🙂

Ah, well I feel dumb lol 😈 . I never looked at the large list, rather that I just used the search for it (since they tend to organize different types of paints on different pages). I did, just now, find them thru digging on Jerry’s Artarama. Thanks for the link.
Hah! I was about to say, wha? Not at Dick Blick?? … ’cause that’s the only place I order them from. XD
