Here's my friend Hili and her daughter Ariella (sp?) with the pony... I've been working on the blue paint for a few days, now. I started layering the blue over the white base coat, but the paint was too opaque, so I put another thin coat of white on, and then more blue.

There are around 10 coats of paint on the pony now... it looks kind-of like shiny colored pencil, with the layers showing through. It's more surface detail than I had expected, but I like the results-- the blue glows wonderfully.
