Coletteg: I saw the SC flag too. We've had a car here in Columbia, SC that has been painted with nailpolish for years. In fact, "The Nailpolish Car" is painted on it in nailpolish. She's taking credit for something she didn't even come up with.

Thanks, Jill, for coming over and fleshing out the story. I hope your car holds up forever!

There is a S.C. flag on the door, because I lived there for 6 years. There is a Maryland flag on the hood.

I used to draw on the car with washable markers. I also let the kids that I nanny for draw on it too. I got tired of that and wanted something more permanent.
The nail polish is holding up very well. I have to touch stuff up when it fades. (Only hot colors seem to fade. The blue, on the S.C. flag has not faded one bit, in several months, but some of the yellows and reds fade in a few weeks.)

I don't think I will ever sell it. I plan to drive it until it dies a horrible death.

Resale value went down considerably. Unless she were to sell it on E-bay that is.

Nail polish fumes are bad. She'll regret it...

Isn't nail polish flammable?

I used to use my nail polish for painting things mixed tape covers. A friend and I once painted her entire car (it was the first year Honda, I think - a tiny little thing) with spray paint and little tiny brushes we'd dip into spray paint pooled onto paper plates. We did it in the winter in her garage with the door closed and the fumes were something else. That car looked like a hippie just exploded all over it. Good times.

I think it's neat. I wouldn't want my car to look like that but I bet it was fun to make. I wish I could see it closer up.

It's all very creative and interesting, but I don't know that I would be seen in that vehicle.

I used to paint with all my old nail polishes. I had always wanted to paint something other than canvas. I am envious of her.

i find it entertaining to paint on my car with washable paints (so a trip thru the car wash creates a clean slate). i used to run a boys and girls club, and i let them paint on my car one time. they thought it was a riot.

OK ... if she is from Maryland, why is the South Carolina state tree and moon on the side of her car???
