I bought Purity Seal from Games Workshop hoping that it wouldn't fog on darker skin. Sadly, it did--this is an undercoat, a quick faceup that will need to be redone, and a topcoat. The undercoat looked fine, but the topcoat looks chalky. I don't know if I didn't shake the can enough or what--its a dry day here and 80 degrees F, so it should have been perfect. Consuelo (a Soom Epidia head on a Granado Nuevo body) is probably happy to have any faceup, even a bad one. She also needs a real wig instead of that too-large one, though I do like the color.

As a doll collector on a budget, I have to pick up Soom's dolls long after they come out. (Gneiss and Benmore were exceptions, Gneiss was an unexpected check and Benmore was my birthday and Christmas presents combined). I loved all the 2012 releases in the Legend line, but no way could I buy them as they popped out, one after another. But here is my start on "Epidia, Queen of Waterfalls"; aka Panther Rhianna :D Neffy in Sweden is sending me the feet, then I have to save up to get the middle section at the next "body event". Ebony/ Dark Tan skin is tricky to paint, not so much the painting part, but in sealing it-- Caracal0407 on Den of Angels has a gorgeous Epidia that she painted over the winter and sprayed it--and it fogged up white all over because of the cold and the humidity. Mister Super Clear does this too if it's below 50 degrees (and I have been told 70 degrees is better) with no humidity. (So of course spring here in Chicago has been 40 degrees...
