Most people use acrylics more because they are water soluble, give good coverage, inexpensive,dry quickly and are non toxic.

Enamels will need to be thinned, are toxic and take forever to dry.However, enamel metallics give the most 'pop'...

You'll probably find that you will use both at some point, but acrylics more than enamels, I think...

Yes, enamels takes forever to dry compare to acrylics. From personal experience, unless you need a metalic finish, stay away from enamels.
