Are there such things as paint pens?

Deeleelambbaa,

The one I have is from Sally Hansen. It works like a traditional paint pen, you have to shake it before you use it.  I don't think this particular type has nail polish in it. It wipes off while still wet with a babywipe and it just seems more like pigmented paint to me. It also doesn't smell like nail polish. It also requires a top coat to seal it, which further makes me think that it's acrylic/pigment based rather than enamel based.

I attempted it on a pony once and it dried just fine. I simply haven't had much use for it yet.


EDIT: I looked up the particular type I have on Amazon [size=78%]http://www.amazon.com/Sally-Hansen-0-068-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B004KS0QDE[/size] here. The listing says that it is water based which means it's not nail polish. I hope this helps!

Oh ya, I have a couple of those too. Cool beans, I may try them sometime. I'm certainly not going to use them on my nails anymore, once I learned I had to dedicate hours for it to dry before top-coating it...
But ya, I agree. It's definitely not conventional nail polish in those pens, so they should be good

Yup, those nail art pens are fun, and a lot finer than any paint pen I've ever used. now that I think about it, I think I may have used one to sign on the bottom of a hoof to test it out.

Anyone used a toothpick for fine lines?  Round or flat?

Yes ~ paint pens. I know such things exist for some Japanese model stuff. I just can't remember what. or where.

I have some special korean pens now (for plastics/glass), that I have been considering using again.. It worked well once for a simple ponyville custom. And I want to try it on my simple G4 custom.

The Sharpie paint pens are FABULOUS, but very pricey. Still, they are really good quality. I'm liking the skewer and paint idea though, I'll have to give that a go for the eye details I want. even my tiny brush wasn't really small enough to lay in the lashes like I wanted.

You could also try my method for doing small details and sharpen a pencil so the tip is nice and pointy and then dip the tip into the paint you would like to use and draw the details that way. You have to keep dipping the pencil quite a bit, but I think the end result comes out really good.
 

i do the same thing, except i use the top of a sewing needle (the end with the hole).
