Hey, I just spent several hours last weekend painting beads with gold enamel paint!
I scored a beautiful Madame Abla from a dancer on Tribe - it was dirt cheap cos loads of the beads (and it is completely covered) had peeled off their paint. Other than that it was a gorgeous and sturdy costume...well it's gorgeous again! The paint went on a treat with a small brush, dried really quickly and was really cheap. It looks great, very shiny. Only time will tell if it stays on, but so far so good! I have used nail varnish in the past too and that's great for a quick fix for just a few beads, but I found the enamel better to use...
