I have! And yes, I feel weird. Just imagine: big guy bending over comparing shades of red nail polish...looks up...sees people just staring...makes me want to just say "it puts the lotion in the basket..." :->
I try to only look at nail polish with my wife around! Still, sometimes you find a really good shade!

Try doing it without her sometime.... ;) If everyone takes a step back we'll understand.

I found NYC nail polish, clear with sparkles for about $1. I also use nail polish to paint jig heads. It's kind of weird going into Target with my wife and saying "oooh, look at the new nail polish color!"

On my larger saltwater flies I use a lot of epoxy and glitter on the noses. That keeps everything in line up there. :)Deb----- Original Message -----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 10:55 AMSubject: Re: [VFB] Head cement vs nail polishMaybe it's overkill, but I use both. I tie mainly for salt and warmwater. The species I target (and the ones I end up catching) do a pretty good job of wrecking flies. When my flies get mangled, and they do, it's rarely the threads that go. When I finish coat with head cement and then let it dry. Then I follow up with a coat of sally hansen's hard as nails (with nylon). If they're my barracuda/shark flies I put a second coat on. Again, it might be overkill but it's been working for me. For warmwater (bass & peacocks) I usually just do one coat of sallys.
