I'll seal this thing and erase the tackiness, even if it kills me and shatters my soul.

I'm not an experienced customizer so forgive me if this is a silly idea, but have you tried dusting her with talcum powder? Baby powder, cornstarch, or something like it?
I have, but with pastels, I dusted them on with a brush and sealed that but still sticky, but I find it dulls her shimmer quite a lot and makes her look... How's the word, unfinished? gives her a horrible dulled down look to her. Because she was for sale I was avoiding that, but knowing she does have these issues I wouldn't feel right putting her up for sale haha.

I'd try giving it a good wash first - as you said when you wiped it yellow came off, I don't think it would be plastic breakdown yet. And try sealing it - wait a day or so and see if the stickiness comes back. Can't hurt to try, and may save you starting again 
I have washed it quite a few times now, I guess i'll try that as well and see.  I did boil it like suggested, with like a pair of tonges holding it in there so the paintjob isn't ruined. I'm just waiting for to dry. Starting again WOULD be a real pain haha.

The stickiness is likely plastizer leak (however it's spelled)
darn it. urgh. orz, guess I'll have to make a different one to sell.

try boiling her
I had one that was tacky after acetone and I was planning on dying her anyway....I boiled water (with dye), dyed her, and no more tackiness (at least for the past 2 months).
*edit - oh but you've already painted her...well, for future ones, try boiling.
otherwise, I suggest sealing the whole pony
I coudl try half boiling her, I mean, I've baked before with this paint and all it did was go extra shiny. because she wasn't sticky while I was painting and all of a sudden she was, and I was thinking of selling her but. If she's sticky she'll collect dust and ARGH! GUESS i'll have to make another =-=;; this is the bait i'm using.visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Lol, my bad, I got confused cause you said yellow and toola roola - she's either pink or purple but anyways, that's no biggie, I had something similar happen with a gold coloured shimmer, I had it soaking in fabric softener for over a week. It took alot of the shimmer off, but didn't leave it sticky, so it kinda makes me think the shimmer is a "removable" layer and the acetone has semi eaten it away.
Darn. DARN IT ALL. but I see sparkles on the inside also? orz woe is my life. The one decent pony I make... and it's sticky forever. Do you think a coat of lacquer/varnish/finish would help and stop the stickiness? or will the acetone have gotten in the pours and eat away at it forever. well then! I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN HER NAME MIXED UP. ARGGGHHH HOW EMBARRESSING.  She's a yellow shimmer pony haha! *hides under a rock.

Did you repaint all of her? A small amount of acetone on an unpainted pony shouldn't go tacky if you washed it off, but if it's a full body paint and you've gone over the paint with acetone it will be sticky. Think of when you remove nail polish, after that first swipe the polish left on your nail will be tacky the acetone eats paint.
Nope, like I said, I just did the cutie marks, and under the paint is gesso to hold it down. Post Merge: April 11, 2013, 05:40:05 AMbecause she is a shimmer pony, I just wanted to keep things simple and just add cutie marks to her and eye coloured eyes and a rehair.
