I strongly encourage you to use acrylics for the majority of your painting. There are some enamels that are good for metallics, but generally acrylics are superior for 28mm mini painting for a large number of reasons, and are also safer to use.
Also, DON'T use enamel paints with a nice brush like a Raphael brush, they will ruin those brushes. You can get cheap synthetic brushes. Also, you can't properly thin enamel paints with water, you need special spirits. Another reason you should switch to acrylic. Vallejo Game Color has an excellent starter set I recommend. That and a couple GW washes (nuln oil and reikland fleshshade), and make yourself a wet pallet, and you should be off to a much better start.
I'd likewise recommend Raphael kolinsky 8404, Rosemary Co., or Windsor & Newton series 7 brushes for acrylic paints. Keep in mind there is no standardized brush measurement system, so one company's size 1 is going to be different than another ones. That said, I'd recommend a size 2 Windsor & Newton or size 1 Raphael.
Also, a lot of people find they have more stability when using they have a handle or some other thing they can stick the mini to (like a large pill bottle or citadel handle) in terms of detail work. Personally, I get the most stability from keeping my elbows on the table and holding the mini by not only the base but also the top (but you gotta wear a latex glove in your holding hand for that otherwise you'll rub your paint off).
