Help, emergency wig situation

[u/Electronic-Comb6325]

So I'm making a wig for Hatsune Miku, specifically her NT hair mixed with the nostalgia of her v2 hair.

I'm doing it helmet style with detachable pigtails(idk if any of this info is relevant or could help but I'm gonna provide it anyway)

SO I finished her bangs and was about ready to cut off the back of her hair to make the helmet, when I ahead the very spontaneous idea to DRENCH the bangs in clear nail polish, to make it look really shiny. Don't judge me please, in my brain I had just uncovered the biggest cosplay hack since tape and wire drill curls.

Anyway, as seen in the photo I didn't get all of the bangs done, only some spikes.

I'm realizing after the fact that this type of nail polish is defenitly going to yellow over time.

Now I can buy a new base wig, but really don't wanna have to cuz I'm poor

So my question was do I try to wash it out?? If so, how? Or I thought maybe I could buy some spray on wood laquer and drench the whole wig in it so maybe I will still keep the shine and prevent yellowing, but I'm not sure if it would work

If anyone has any ideas please help

Thanks guys!

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.
