Question

Will the nail polish overheat by the phone?

Chlomo

Community Answer

It’s not a fire hazard, unless you keep it plugged in and overheating on something with little air ventilation -- which is a fire hazard anyway.

Question

Can we put real gems on it?

Chlomo

Community Answer

Real gems are fairly pricey, so it’s not a good idea. They’re also hard to glue on.

Question

Can I use paint instead of nail polish?

Community Answer

Yes, just don't use oil paint. Acrylic is easier to get off if you don't want it and it dries faster.

Question

Can I spray paint my phone case?

Community Answer

You could spray paint it, but I would not recommend it. If you do, make sure you take it off your phone first and spray it outside or in a well-ventilated area.

Question

I painted my phone with acrylics, then a layer of clear nail polish. How can I make it not sticky? Do I just need to wait a while?

Chlomo

Community Answer

Yes; it’s probably just not dried yet. You could use a UV light to cure it in case it’s a gel polish.

Question

Is it necessary to use a phone case for an iPhone 6s Plus?

Community Answer

It's not necessary, but it's definitely recommended. Not using a case on your phone makes it more likely that you'll damage or break it.
