Based on the nail polish example above I decided to bust out some experiments… I got my wife these crazy super glittery “Super Black” nail polishes a while ago… time to try them out on cups of a test yo-yo! ![IMG_8051](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/1/0/f103303107848b9875d0e118934ad67309931fdd.jpeg) ---

Turns out it’s actually a yoyo by Andrew Vargas of Winging it Yoyos haha, Coffin just painted those for him. Also, I’m curious about using an epoxy based model paint, should be a fair bit more durable than your standard enamel. ---

OK so here’s the result of glitter nail polish in the cups, after drying overnight. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/b/5/eb5a4346e706c405f5686abf1bf1b18498c18ec6.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/c/e/2ce464a294d6602b016fb63db01faf07eb80accb.jpeg) The darker color came out a bit better, it looks a little like a geode. Bad news though, it’s impossible to apply nail polish evenly (or at least I could not) and it adds a _LOT_ of vibe. Like … a lot a lot. Good thing I have all this acetone for bearing cleaning, aka “nail polish remover” 💅 So I’d call this a failed experiment ---
