We're going to be taking our first family trip to WDW in November. I had hoped to be able to decorate our magic bands, but I'm wondering if we'll have enough time. We're staying on property, but at Shades of Green, so no magic bands in the mail for us. I had planned on going to Downtown Disney the day we arrive and purchase the bands, but probably won't have time to get started painting/adhearing tattoos until we get the kids down (and there's no guarantee that will happen )
What is the minimum dry time you guys would recommend for the layers? I'll probably be using a clear base coat, acrylic paint, the removable tattoo, and maybe a glittery topcoat with another clear coat or two on top.
I had hoped to get a band or two to practice on, but can't bring myself to pay as much/more for a practice one than I will for the ones we will use!
Thanks in advance for your advice!
I've finished all but one of our magic bands for our upcoming trip to the happiest place on earth! I was inspired by so many of the awesome posts on this thread! You guys are so talented. I am a pretty good copycat. Anyway, mine is Dumbo, my son is Stitch, my daughter has the Cinderella coach, and the baby girl has the Doc McStuffins friends. Our teenage friend is Olaf. My husband painted Dug the Dog from Up. All I have left is to paint Nemo and Dory on the last band for another friend coming along. They were lots of fun to do!

Okay I need suggestions. On my DD's magic band on of her tattoos is beginning to peel. I am going to remove it and reapply another one but what is the best way? I right now have it as the tattoo then clear nail polish over it, but as I said it is peeling. We leave in 8 days so I am glad I had her test it out before we got to the parks! Thanks!
I'd post pics, but can't figure out how.
I just tried decorating a magic band and it doesn't seem to work the way I want. I want mine to glow in the dark, so I bought some glow in the dark nail polish. One coat doesn't do anything.. unfortunately, when I add more coats, the polish dries cloudy and looks really ugly on the band. I figured I would try to remove it, but nail polish remover doesn't take off the glow in the dark stuff. Has anyone found a glow in the dark that dries clear? (luckily, this is NOT the magic band I will be using in the park.)[/QUOTE
Try acetone

This remover's first ingredient is acetone.
I was 'practicing' on an old MB with base coat and acrylic paint. didn't like what I did and tried polish remover.. didn't work either.. so I took a paring knife (like you use to cut up veggies) and scraped it off = carefully.. That worked and didn't scratch the MB.. whew
