advanced peaches and cream question

is glazing gel and thinning medium the same thing...?? in the e book for advanced peaches and cream lesson 5 when i am doing nails and lips.... they are using glazing gel... i don't know if i have that or not.... and thoughts on the two being the same??
thanks
Connie

No Connie, they are 2 totally different mediums.

thank you lyn... i now have to purchase the glazing gel because i do not have any and the tutorial says to use that....

Like Lyn mentioned they are two different things so if the lesson mentions glazing gel for the lips and nails it is to give a more glaze appeal and on your thinning medium it is for thinning your paints. You can use the thinning medium also with the glazing gel but only in the lessons that call for it.

Thank you so much Rebecca..... that helps to know that they are not the same thing....
I really appreciate the help I have been given with my questions...

Connie, I don't use the glazing gel to mix color with for nails and lips, I use the thinning medium because my glaze is too thick to mix with paint. When I want to add the moist look, I just use the glaze by itself, so if you are doing the lips and nails and it calls for glazing gel, you CAN use thinning medium and then gloss the nails and lips like the way you would normally do on any other baby.

thanks Karen... i think I understand that a bit better now... I have gone past that lesson now and ready to do brows.... Oh how I wish you were here sitting beside me for this.....
but will see you in June...

Hi Connie,

The higher the number, the lighter the color. You can find a lot of the mixes in the section of the forum called Genesis Heat Set Paint Recipes. Here's the link to the post Lara made to make Q Crimson
