Those look great Mary Lou. I'm always scared someone I know will catch me at Wal Mart standing in the nail polish isle. Lol

Wow. Those are slick and about as perfect as can be.
Wish my sinuses could handle the NP.
Let's see the nails now.
My niece did mine last week but it wasn't the right shade with my eyes.

They are nice. I have a good selection of colors and still paint a few heads with NP.

Nice paint job!!!!! I still paint some jigs by brush with Testors paint every year, but then I use a 2 part epoxy to coat them.

What qualifies as "high quality" nail polish and why?

High Quality NP would be from a professional beauty shop or beauty supply house...that is where I buy my NP from....plus I get free samples from my girlfriend that cuts my hair...

Dang, I hate it when only priveleged insiders get the good stuff. I don't think my barber does nails, but think I'll ask anyway.

Great-looking paint work. I've used nail polish extensively and like to add an epoxy topcoat when doing so. Epoxy gives it a "jeweled" look and protects the nail polish when fished.

I use nail poliish quite often for my jigs and ice jigs.I was looking at nail polish in the store where I work and the pharmacist walked by saying she didn't think it was my color.I told her I paint lures with it,she fishes and knew what I was doing.
