TS find!!! -And- HELP!!!!!!

[talentedtwelve12]

Ok, I went the the TS yesterday (A new one I have never been to, very high end) and what did I find....

1- Bitty twins $25 each (hey, I said High-end!!) I bought them both. The boy is in perfect condition, but the girl is not. They are blondies.

2- Coconut $2

3- Retired cast/crutches $5

So, my question is...

1- How do I remove glitter nail polish from around the eyes?
2- How do I fix an eyelid scuff/chip?
3- How can I safely clean the surface of the eye?

Any help appreciated. The girl has some issues!

You can clean the surface of the eye with a q-tip in alcohol. Dip the q-tip, then roll it across a papertowel to soak up excess moisture. Think Toy Story 2...
You can repaint the eyelids with acrylic paint, and for nail polish... remover? It depends on if it's located where you might remove more paint. If it's on the skin around the eyes, you'll be okay as long as you avoid the cheek color. I'd use the same technique with the remover as with the alcohol.

You need non-acetone nail polish remover IF you use it at all. "regular" nail polish remover has acetone in it, very bad.

No kind of nail polish remover is a good idea around the eyelids because the eyelids are paint and nail polish remover will take the eyelid paint off right along anything else.

Wow you are so lucky! I have been going to TS since I learned about host members finding Ag's there. So far no luck on my end, but I am happy for you! Good luck with your Bitty girl
