Coloring my glasses frames with fingernail polish.

You will get uneven coating, ruin the glasses, and probably damage your eyes if you insist wearing them.

Why do you say that?
They will be dry so its not like theyd still have fumes.

>>1219605
fingernail polish is specifically made to be easily cleanable
not a good choice
I tried it many times, it won't last on surfaces that are actively used

Good pint.

Anyone know any alternatives?
I guess I could go to a optometric clinic and ask them to remove the lenses, then Id paint em with enamel or something.

take out the lenses yourself (it's 2 screws and they go on only one way)

use fine sandpaper and go over the surfaces you're going to paint

use some model enamel paint

Go buy some spray paint.
They make small one for model building or auto touch-up.

you know why bitches get their nails done all the time? Well apart from being shallow self-absorbed attention seekers, the polish chips the fuck off really easily

just get some lens cleaner and put a shot of black in it

no. glasses frames are flexible. the coatings you are suggesting are not flexible, they are rigid. they will crack. enamel and nail polish will crack. you would need to use an elastic paint. furthermore, the coating you use would need to be wear resistant, salt resistant and UV resistant. ever go in the sun? notice your frames literally stay in your head from frictional forces? additionally you would need something that wont irritate your skin.

really i have no idea why you want to do this. glasses are so incredibly cheap. check out american or UK online outlets. they have lenses and frames for less than $50 incl. shipping. your frames are cheap shitty plastic also so the solvents in many paints will damage the plastic.

if you really want those exact frames then you could cast a mold of the arms, remove the metal inserts then cast them into new colored PU epoxy arms.
