Real Effects Paint

Oh my its been 4 months since I have been back here! I really can not get over how fast this year has gone, could someone please slow it down for me? lol

Ok so as for what has been happening in the nursery in the last 4 months.... I have been experimenting with different paints and have decided the genisis is deffinately NOT for me!

So after moving on from GHSP I have been trialing Real Effects paint now and I think I have sort of got the hang of it but not 100% happy. The paints themselves seem great I think it is more to do with my technique, I really do want to figure out how to use these paints for 2 reasons, 1 is because I spent a small fortune on them lol and 2. is because I think they can give a really lovely finish ( I fluked it on my first baby with them but can't seem to replicate it)
 So if anyone who uses Real Effects paint is reading this feel free to give me some pointers please! my main problem seems to be that the paint keeps pearling (pooling) on the vynil surface and no matter how much I blend it appears blotchy in dark skinned babies.

I have finished  3 babies
