Does nailpolish work to decorate plastic phone cases?

nail polish iphone case image

Ashley

i want to paint my iphone case because it is just clear and boring. does anybody know if i paint it with nail polish and apply a clear coat if that will work?

Answer
It works quite well. The more coats you use the more likely to chip it will be when you take off the case. I don't think the clear is needed. You can touch up spots or needed but I think that is unlikely.

How to remove sharpie from plastic?

Hannah

Hi!! I used sharpie to decorate my blank white iPhone case and then i used clear nail polish cover it but it smudged ): so i was wondering if you know any method that will help get rid of the sharpie while the nail polish is covering it. please please please help and reply! Thank you :)

Answer
You really really need to learn a few things about the world you live in. Sharpie dissolves in acetone, which also dissolves most plastics. Your Sharpie didn't just mark your phone, it engraved it. If you try to remove the mark you will only be pushing the plastic around and making it worse.

It appears that you can get skins for your iphone. That is your only hope.

Someone mentioned nail polish remover. Some nail polish is lacquer, so acetone will dissolve it, and that is what remover is: acetone. Some polish is made of enamel and it does not dissolve in acetone. So don't assume that the bottle marked "Nail Polish Remover" will always remove your nail polish.
