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 .

Those look really good. :cool:

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.
