The egg is plastic, and the paints are some kind of cheapo acrylic that wanted to be anywhere besides stuck to the aforementioned plastic. I made the mistake of trying to use pinstriping tape on a rounded surface with water-based paint, so there are rough edges everywhere. I think my blahaj egg turned out a litle better:

That paint was still goopy as all hell, though. sadness

Acrylic paints really like two things: an established basecoat on whatever they're going onto, and to be thinned out a bit (a drop of water for ever few drops of paint, say). High density pigment ones take thinning better, but even those grainy cheap ones spread better when thinned - a drop of an acrylic matte/gloss can make them seem more vibrant and smoother than they are, too. That's what I learned with trial and error when painting sculptures I'd made, at least.
