Magic Band decorating

[Fable McCloud]

Anyone know the best way to decorate MagicBands without them running/cracking? Some people say nail polish, others say sharpie...I need some help. My family refuses to get pre-made fancy bands, insisting that I (the creative one) dress them up myself lol. I've never had a MagicBand before so I'm not sure.

Etsy has decals for a few bucks.

We just ordered from magic your band. Our bands will be decorated as Spaceship Earth, R2D2 and the red monorail!

I currently have 6 Bands, five of them have MYB decals on them. (I like the yellow band on its own)

I have only used one from here but it has stayed on really well over time!

I use nail polish. No biggie. This is mine for our trip in just under 2 weeks! It's all holographic, so I can't wait to see it in the sun!

I have never decorated our bands, but for our up-coming trip I have decided to. I plan on going to Michael's and getting stickers and crystals and just jazzing them up.

Just keep in mind that sticker crystals need more adhesive: like E6000 stuff, because the heat will melt the peel and stick stuff and they'll fall off through the day.

I highly recommend AB (aurora borealis) Swarovski crystals if you want the most sparkle. Michael's usually has them in loose flatback stones.

I can vouch for them also. My daughter bought the bride and groom skins for their MBs for their wedding...and they still look nice.

Gel polish for me

Gel polish for me

I considered using my gels, but I'd read they were more likely to crack long term.

No problems here. I had regular nail polish and after 2 trips they cracked and one was destroyed. The gels have lasted up to 4 trips now no problems. The battery has died on a few bands before I had any signs of wear.

The trick is to buff the band and treat it exactly like you would your nails. Do thin coats too so it cures properly. I have twisted and intentionally tried to harm the bands as a test and they hold up very well!
