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

That is WICKED! I can not wait for ours to arrive, it will be so much fun and a great way to tell the kids about the trip!!
 
I was so inspired by all the bands, I decided to take our bands from our last trip and experiment! We have another set coming for our May trip, so if I mess these up, it will not be the end of the world. I used a Migi Nail art kit (ads on TV all the time) that someone got me as a Christmas present. They worked really well for the details. One thing to note: I had seen that mistakes were removed easily with nail polish remover - not entirely true. The color of the band and the color of the polish comes into play here. I was not able to completely remove the red from my yellow band, and I figure black is probably the same. So use caution with darker colors on lighter bands if you have to remove the polish! I love Animal, so I chose him as my first attempt. Sorry for the glare, I had to use my flash. Here is the nail art kit I used:
I'm a 30 yo single male let me tell you it was interesting going in and buying nail polish and nail art pens! Lol I hope I did ok.
You guys inspired me to paint my magic band today. At first I was bummed I had a pink one because I couldn't come up with a good idea, but this seems perfect. http://s666.photobucket.com/user/ly...6-4e38-828f-0ac3219179ac_zpsc269570c.jpg.html http://s666.photobucket.com/user/lynnparkhurst/media/magicband1_zps6a7cf1c0.jpg.html

These are all amazing!!!! I wish I could draw/paint like this. Sadly, I max out at stick figures.

This is amazing! Where do all of you guys get your talent? You can paint mine. lol Actually, I am going to beg my DS to do something for me. He is pretty artistic.
 
This thread just makes me so excited for out trip in May! My dad and I are planning on surprising my brothers (ages 14 & 8) on this trip. We've convinced them that we probably won't go on a trip this year because we rather go somewhere else (lol as if). We plan on telling them late the night before and giving them their MagicBands might be the perfect way to do it. I'm pretty artistic so I plan on decorating them with their favorite characters. I'm so excited I can't wait until we get our bands!
 
How did you paint this?! With nail art pens?! I love it!!

Thank you. :)

I only have a black nail art pen. For the rest of the colors I used regular nail polish and a small paint brush. I just cleaned the brush with nail polish remover after.
 
Has anyone used acrylic paint on these yet? I don't have a whole lot of nail polish and i don't want to have to buy 10 bottles or the migi set for $20. I know it would crack on the flexible part, but what about the stiff area around the sensor? Then clear nail polish to seal it. if no one has tried it yet, i can try it on mine once i return from my trip and remove the nail polish that's on it now. (I only have silver, glow in the dark and clear coat). I leave Wednesday to try out my new band!

I tried it for my band. Came right off the part of the band that bends, but stayed perfectly on area of the sensor. I had put a coat of glitter polish over it. I did notice that it was easier to get scratches and scrape off the paint versus the polish though. I ended up going back over the entire band with a nail polish because of the scratches to the paint.
 
I love that the Magic Band designs are getting more elaborate and creative. I hope everyone keeps posting.
 
All of these are so beautiful! My trip is a long ways away but there is so much inspiration in this thread I can't wait to decorate my own Magic Band!
 
Just WOW. You did this with NAIL POLISH. Wow. Up until right now I had been content with looking at all the great designs, but I guess this has pushed me over the line. My green band must become Maleficient. HockeyMom, if I'm on here at midnight trying to figure out how to get purple polish off my green band, you'd better be here for me!! LOL! I LOVE this thread!
