How to Use
- Activation: Use a spray bottle or a wet brush to drop a small amount of water onto the surface of the solid pigment pan.
- Saturation: Allow the water to sit for approximately 30–60 seconds to fully soften the pigment, then swirl your brush to pick up the color.
- Application: Apply directly to your medium. For higher opacity, use less water; for a sheer shimmer wash, dilute further.
- Nail Art Specifics: If using for nail design, apply the watercolor over a buffed or matte-top-coated surface. Once the artistic design is completely air-dried, you must apply a dedicated top coat and cure it under a nail lamp to seal the pigment and prevent chipping.
Care & Safety
- Storage: Always allow the paint pans to air dry completely before closing the case lid to maintain the integrity of the pigment and prevent moisture buildup.
- Light Sensitivity: Store the palette in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the brilliance of the metallic particles.
- Safety: This product is intended for artistic use. Avoid direct contact with eyes and do not ingest.
