NOW UPDATED WITH VIDEO
Well with all the users that have been doing this recently, I decided I'd give it a try. Went out and bought the necessary materials (buying fingernail polish late at night as a male was a bit weird, I have to admit). I must also preface my list of materials with one statement. DOING THIS PROJECT WENT AGAINST EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING! I mean come on, fingernail polish on a GUN!?
The items I used:
-Rubbing Alcohol (THIS IS FOR DEGREASING THE AREAS YOU'RE GOING TO PAINT, THIS IS STEP ONE. I used 80% Isopropyl, although any would work)
-Q-tips
-Sally Hansen's Extreme Hard As Nails white nail polish
-Cheap-o paper towels (the expensive ones are too absorbent and they will not work)
-Non-Acetone finger nail polish remover (be sure to get the non-acetone. Easier on the skin and the finish)
-Patience (Yeah, you need it)
Now, for some pics of the final result;
I think it turned out really well. I put 4 coats on the slide, and it only took 3 coats for the mags. You just have to take your time, relax and be sure not to use too much non-acetone fingernail polish. I mean, you could use a lot, but you'd risk doing the process over and over and over. Also guys, let each coat dry after wiping off the polish. Then go to the next coat and so on and so forth.
So there you have it. It only took about 30 minutes, and it's easier than I thought it would be. Ask any questions you guys may have. I might start doing this for people for a small fee. Just send in your slide and mags and I'd get it back to you in a jiffy Anyways, just wanted to share with my INGO pals. Later guys, have a good Monday.

So, here's a few videos. I'm sorry if it seems rushed. I did the video twice before and kept getting interrupted. I keep saying ACETONE in the video, but I cannot stress how much you need NON-ACETONE. This is my first video, so go easy on me guys. In the second video, I sound congested as hell, and it's because I was! Nose started running like crazy.
