Heat control is the answer to many enamels issue. If the bead is cool, the enamel won't stick. If it's barely warm enough for some to stick or you wait too long to melt it in, the enamel will ball up on itself, instead of adhering flat to the bead (can be a cool effect, if that's what you're going for). For good adherence to the bead, bring your bead up to a slight glow before adding the enamel and then gently melt it in quickly. If you over heat the enamel, it can get muddy and ugly. You can get some interesting organic effects by putting a few layers on and boiling it on purpose, though.
