Don’t try to take the paint off with nail polish remover. It will smear the paint instead of taking it off.
You can use a matte color for a solid look, or try metallic for a bit of shine. Don’t use sharpie markers or nail polish to paint your LPS toy. Sharpies can smear and stain, while nail polish will flake off after a few weeks. [2] X Research source
Starting at the feet will help them dry first, so you can set down the toy to paint the head.
If you’re painting with different colors, feel free to switch while you’re painting your first and second layers! Just try to use a different paintbrush for each color, or wash the brush thoroughly with water before using it for a new color. If your paint still isn’t as neat or bright as you want it, add a third layer.
Don’t worry if you smeared into any unwanted areas. Simply wait for it to dry, then paint over it with the correct color. Acrylic paint is thick enough that the bottom color won’t show through.
For a flat finish, choose a matte spray. If you want a shinier look, go with a glossy spray. Do not use a nail polish clear coat for a sealant or it will smear the paint rather than sealing it.
Use acrylic paint, which will last the longest and look the best on your toy. You can find nail art kits in the beauty aisle of most big stores, or online.
You can use regular crafting stickers or nail stickers, which are even smaller.
To create a unique mermaid tail for your LPS toy, first ask your parents to help cutting off the back legs with a sharp knife. Mold your epoxy clay in a swooping tail, about 1 in (2. 5 cm) long. Let it dry for 24 hours, then mold a little mermaid fin for the end. Let it dry afterwards. If you want wings for your LPS toy do the same thing!!
