Yes, and I love it, but it is very bright white so I tone it down a bit by painting over it after it is dry with a little thinned down flesh 08.

Yay!!! Thanks for the tip! I can’t wait to try it! I wish there was a good one for eyebrows!!!

i’m experimenting with prisma color tips. My old hand isn’t quite steady enough to use paint on such fine details and I am not satisfied with my work. I like gel pens, but they seem to run out very quickly and they are very, very white so I’m with Bette on using a coat of neutralizing color over them. You don’t want to end up with that French Manicure look.

Helen, what do you mix the powders with? You make them sound so interesting!

They are just powder makeup from Coastal Scents. There are links on this forum to the tutorials. They are not mixed with anything, but rather are sealed when you finish working with them. They are fun, but have a definate learning curve. They are beginning to work very well for me and they work well with the Genesis paints although most of the tutorials are for air dry. Genesis works just as well. I find they are great for creases and subtle shading also some blushing. I still do mottles and undertones with Genesis.

Got my jelli roll pen! LOVE IT!:heart:ļø thanks guys!

Where did you get it? Can you post a pic?

Amy, I ordered mine from LCI PAPER. I found them online. They have this pen on ebay… But asked 4.95 for the pen and 14.95 for shipping!
I paid 4.72 with shipping for one pen. LCI paper was cheaper than Amazon also:-) I love it!:+1:

Thanks for the pic and info!

honojane, I use prisma white. I wet the tip and glide it on. If it’s to white I take a damp q-tip and roll over it. It tones it down. I bake it and let sit overnight.Then I apply 2 to 3 coats of satin varnish. It’s never failed me. If you don’t like it, it will just wipe off before you bake.

I have that so I’ll try it next time.

I’ve been experimenting with prisma tips. I use a slightly off white…can’t remember the name of the color but it’s working out better for me than paint. My hands are not quite steady enough to do a good job with the paint and I don’t like the french manicure look.

If you can remember the color, can you post it? When you get a chance no need to hurry.

It’s just the one that’s closest to white that isn’t white, LOL. Can’t find mine at the moment.

Bette, which do you prefer, the jelli pen or the prisma?

I haven’t used the prisma for nails, but am going to try it.
