What brand of acrylic paint is used for One-Stroke painting?

September 9, 2011

I love using Folkart Enamel Paints. They are strong and won’t chip off easily. They have a fluffy consistency like shaving cream. You can get frosts and metallics in these enamel paints, plus they work on glass, metal, ceramic, mirrors, and more. But nail techs tend to like the Folkart Acrylic Paints best. There are more metallics in the acrylic paint, plus the top coat to seal it is a little thinner. You can purchase most colors on my site (www.dewberrycrafts.com) or try your local craft store. These all come in 2-oz. bottles and last a long time.
