Can anybody help me master Ruby Slippers? I did my first set a couple of days ago on a colleague and found it much more difficult than I thought I would! My main areas of concern were getting the red on thin enough to leave enough room for clear powder. I seemed to end up with a noticible difference between applying the clear and pink powder and also ended up with little bits of red in zones 2 and 3. I have thought of a couple of things which might have helped - what do you think. Should I have used separate dappen dishes for the monomer for the red and separate one for clear and pink? Should you use a separate brush for colour work? At the end of the day they looked pretty good, but I know they could have been a lot better and wondered if anyone had any suggestions before I attempt my next set tommorrow? Also, is it just me or do the clear tips take a bit longer to blend in than normal velocity tips? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers everyone, Claire
