Looks great. Nice color choice. I did the same thing on 15 Raven Rspec.  I did use detailing paint.  Took me about 40 minutes each side.  Love the look.  I've had it on for about 6 months and has not peeled at all.

That looks real good. I'm thinking of doing a stripe on my rims in the same color.

I think the stripe on the rim would really look good.  Luckily, I didn't have to do my rims, came like that.

This would be pretty cool to do with black reflective paint if they make such a thing. Sort of like that tape guys put on their wheels. When light hits it get all shiny.

The cool thing about using nail polish is all the color options. My girlfriend said I had to replace the bottle I used so I went down to the store with her and there is a whole wall that goes from floor to ceiling of options.
