You will need to mix a milky translucent-like white gel paint which we will use in our designs.

• Ensure your clear base colour to white gel paint ratio is done correctly. You will need more clear base/topcoat than white paint - use a 2:1 ratio ( 2 part clear : 1 part white)

• Test your mixture on your base colour to ensure it not to opaque or translucent.

Focus on the below points to achieve the perfect line/s:

• Ensure your brush is loaded in the correct manner - meaning that your brush bristles should have sufficient product right around the bristles.

• If your brush is overloaded, it will result in thick lines.

• If your bush is not loaded with enough product, your lines will break while painting. You will also notice that it feels like your bristles is not running smoothly over the surface.

• Also ensure you cover 3/4 of the brush bristles with your gel paint in order to use the full potential of the brush bristles.

• Roll the brush handle between your fingers to allow the correct load, also ensure you drag lines out while doing so.

• Hold your brush in a 30-40 degrees angle when starting your line, gently apply pressure allowing the bristles to bend. REMEMBER, the more pressure you apply the thicker your lines will be - practise an even pressure for the best results.

• Use your pinkie to support your hand when drawing lines, this will allow for correct brush control.

• Take your time when drawing a line, focus on all the point listed above - PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT!

I will encourage you to practise these lines as much as possible in order for your to be 100% comfortable and to understand what your brush and paint is doing. Once you have mastered your brush and lines, move over to your first design.

Check the below before moving on to the next design:

• Are your lines even and crisp?

• Did your gel paint overflow into one another causing your lines to have some thicker areas where the lines meet?

• Ensure your background lace/mesh is not overpowering your embossed look

• Is your flower petals the same sizes per flower?

If you found that all the above is correct, continue with your next design.
