Sounds like you used Testors Enamel paint. That will never dry on some plastics and some it will just dissolve the plastic. It only works on a few hard plastics.
You should only use quality acrylics such as Testors Model Master, Tamiya or Citadel.

Never use enamel paint.
It doesn't dry properly on soft plastics.
As for painting the eyes...you're gonna' need really fine detail brushes...or, use a toothpick.

I heard that some Michael's carry the model masters. I would check the phone book for hobby shops. (R/C, train, etc.) You can also order them online. I myself got them much cheaper that way by ordering a single lot from ebay.
