Never paint your tamagotchi! Are you crazy?!
h34r: Ive noticed that on some of the tamagotchi designs, especially connexions, the varnish tend to scrape off easily. I also see that many of the keychain rings on the unit easily get it's tin layer weary, so you can see the brass underneath. This is ugly and it's rusting!
Here is a nailpolish tip that's reliable. I've tried it before, but you have to be patient, so it's best to take out the batteries or wait for your pet to go to bed.
1. Clean the red connection top, and wait for it to dry.
2. Use transparent glitter nail polish only. There are many fun combinations of glitter nail polish.
3. Paint the conexion top with a thin layer of nail polish. Gold, silver and red glitter is the best.
4. It can take up to half an hour before the polish dries, and I would wait for the day after before bringing my tama anywhere. The nail polish is touchy.
5. If you get polish out side the connexion top, use a q-tip to remove it.
Tip 2:
I have two tama beds! They used to be lifeless jewellery boxes made of china. Now they have two homemade pillows, and the lids can be closed easily.
Royal beds!
For my other tamas, I have large match boxes covered in collage pictures of food, fruit and jewels. They have mattresses of my old baby sheets. I have stockings for them too, where they sleep - at christmas.The spirit is just vibrant.
If you're handy you can make little plushies of their parents with a pocket on the stomach. That's cute. Making them has saved me from boredom in art classes were we were supposed to make embroiderings.
