Has anyone decorated their Magic Bands? Please show us the pictures!

Any suggestions for removing smudges of black nail polish that won't come off completely with acetone or nail polish remover?

I had that happen when I removed polish from one of my bands. It almost seemed more like the surface was scuffed and the original finish was off or something. I was painting over the band to change the color anyway, so I didn't really care.
 
Order from Magic Your Band came. DH is super happy with how they came out. It is perfect for my non flashy DH.

I had this problem with both black and white. I was trying to do a Minnie Mouse theme on a red band. I thought it would be a relatively simple design for a beginner - white dots, color in Mickey Head, add bow & viola. Unfortunately I was incorrect in my assessment. White I could mostly get off with acetone nail polish, but it left a film that I could not get off. Probably no one else could see it, but it really bugged me. The black came off a little better, but it essentially stained where it got into the grooves. I went over it with the white nail polish pen to cover it up and it ended up more of a gray outline. I was afraid to do anything more to it in fear of making it worse than it already is. I gave up and ordered a skin from MagicYourBand.

My daughter painted the black into the groove around the Mickey head and she used both nail polish remover and straight acetone to try to remove the excess nail polish but it left a smudge all the way around the Mickey head. It's not terribly noticeable, but it is bothering her. At least it's my Dad's band and he won't even notice. She even tried hairspray (saw the idea online) and that didn't work, either.
 
As I'm in the UK I don't have my bands yet, but I got my Magic Your Band skins through the post today. I did the Monorail and Iron Man ones for myself, and the Lilo/Sitch and Nemo for my wife (although I might nab one of the Nemo ones for myself cos it's my favourite

I know it is frustrating. I have used hair spray to get out ball-point pen out of fabric, which actually works pretty well. I was able use the design that I was trying to paint to create a skin from MagicYourBand, so I could get what I wanted in a round-about way.
 
Can I ask where you got the castle tattoo/sticker/whatever it is??? I am planning on painting mine, but if I could find this I would use it! I am not an artist ;)
Hi, if you mean the purple castle on the far right band? That was I think a sheet of stickers I got at either Hobby Lobby or Dollar General. I will try to figure out for sure and let you know if it was from some other place. If I remember it was on a sheet that was clear backed plastic with other castle and or Cinderella themes. I hope that helps you some.
 
Hey, I have a question regarding creating a custom band at magicyourband.com...

Does anyone know if there an easier way to see what the fonts look like when you add text, besides actually selecting each one? I find it's been very tedious! I wish they had a font list on their website with examples. Arrghhh...

I'm trying to design a Figment band, since there is NOWHERE to buy one!

I've painted more than one band purple - this might help a lot!

For those of you who have used swarovski crystals or rhinestones have they worked ok? I asked because I really want to bling one but with them usually being foil backed I'm concerned it will effect RFID?

I have used Swarovski crystals with no problem. My one band has them completely covering the Mickey head. I got mine in packs at Michael's so I am not sure if there are different kinds.

I've had three crystal bands and have never had an issue. I have even seen people cover the mickey, but I personally don't like to.
 
Thank you both for the replies. I probably wont cover my mickey but its great to know it will work properly. Will post photos when I'm done :)
