Hi everybody. Quick question...

I'm making a shirt for a friend, and I discovered that I don't have any black paint. (I'm using acrylic.) "Okay," I thought, "I'll just make the lettering in navy blue." Well, it turns out that the paints I have are way too light, they have too much white in the pigment, and even though I added some pink, the combo won't turn purple. I'm so desperate to get this shirt done tonight... I think I might add some of my dark red nail polish to this to make the navy color I want. Bad idea?

I could always wait and just go buy more paint tomorrow. Sigh. But I'm such an impatient crafter. Haha.

I'd appreciate any input you guys have. Sorry for the text only, pictures to follow :)
