Default Anyone try fingernail polish?

I've had good luck with using nail polish in my airbrush for model kits..you have a huge variety of colors to choose from...but i was wondering if anyone has tried it on the lexxan bodies yet? i thought about giving it a shot because i really want to do a glow in the dark body...i figure i can lay down my skull masks when i get them then paint the whole body black,peel the masks,lay down the clear glow polish and then maybe a dark grey...so the grey will looklike its glowing..i did basically the same thing on a 69 nova model once and it turned out pretty cool

Not on a body that flex's. That layer of paint will probably peel off in one hit.
