    My experience so far? I've been far less happy with use of polish. Last ones I painted were my 80th oz heads. Seemed dry when I started tying, and then noticed the polish was not completely dry under the surface, and was moving the dry surface when I was handling the jig for wraps and whip finishing.
    I think I will give the powder paint a try.

    Powder paint is the best way to paint easy and Vinyl is the toughest and just take longer to dry and set, but good stuff! You can always try unpainted heads and see?

    I useta use nail polish, but it dries up too fast. Besides IMA sloppy painter. However, I might try the nail salon out.

    Probably cost more than a couple bucks, I use the cheap stuff. I could paint black then clear with purple flake on top!
    I have time to paint and let dry. I usually paint white base first night, the main color the next night, add eyes or effects another night with sally Hansen as top coat. By the time I go to tie any jig it has dried at least one day. I know this is long process but I enjoy it and have time after I put my girls to bed. I have a bunch of jigs all painted and ready to be tied. My girls also like painting them as well....lol.
