 Given its limitations, it does the job Jul 11, 2009
By Shannon B Davis
"Nepenthe"
This product allows you to paint colorful designs on your belly. It certainly does that. I had my friend, an artist, paint a beautiful Hamsa on my belly. The colors were initially vivid, especially when applied in multiple coats as instructed. My skin had no reaction to the paint, and it washed off easily in the shower later on.
The paint kit comes with a brush & a sponge, and the following colors: black, white, blue, pink, orange, red, green, yellow. The paint is applied with water. There is plenty of paint to decorate a bevy of bellies, or to paint yourself multiple times.
The downsides, if you want to see them that way, are that the paint doesn't stay on very long. It is only meant to decorate and bless the belly, photograph the results, and then wash it off. Over the next few hours, it faded like an old wooden carnival sign. I think this is an important note for anyone who thought they would paint something and wear it around all day. This painting kit is not meant for all-day wear.
My friend, the artist, also wanted me to note that the brush is not the best quality. She did a fine job but felt constrained by the materials. If you want a professional piece of artwork, you may want to get your own brushes. However, for the average person, it probably doesn't matter all that much.

 Gives Excellent Results Nov 02, 2008
By Beebs
"~~~"
Takes a bit of patience to apply. You will need lots of coats for full coverage. But the result is EXCELLENT. Does not rub off easily. I still have it on after a full nights sleep wearing a tank top over it. Better to use a blot/twist motion with the sponge and then using the brush for details. Use just a tiny bit of water and blot with a paper towel before applying. My hubby painted a sunset on my belly for halloween, and I took 1st place in the costume contest. I'm VERY IMPRESSED!

 not what i thought; its just paint Mar 14, 2010
By H. Maldonado
I thought it would give you ideas of how to paint or what to paint but it is just the paint itself and a sponge, which is a little overpriced for what it is. Great concept and it turned out really well, just wonder if i could have bought some non toxic paint at the local store for 10% of the cost.

good paint with FDA aprv Dec 03, 2009
By Mattias Wu
We painted two times, full colored belly, and still lots of paint left.
pros: it said FDA approved, but who knows :)
easy to remove, easy to clean
pretty efficient, vivid color
cons: package looks cheap
since it's easy to remove, it also means sensitive to water, if you want multiple layers, be careful, the color can be mixed
no grey color, no earth color, hard to mix to get an idea color if you don't want to use these basic colors

 Paint chips Nov 16, 2009
By Brittney Blair
The paint looks great, until it dries. It chips and looks horrible. It takes forever to apply as well because the paint doesn't want to stay on the skin. I tried painting a pumpkin for halloween. After 4 hours of painting, it looked great, until it dried and began flaking...
