the second products are called the silkies (not realised yet) are the bottles that look like nail varnishes (love them) these fabulous gorjuss bottles are a fabulous new cutting edge product as if any of you out there like me could not get on with H2o,s as when using them trying to get the right shade before they tried then these are the prodct for you ,

you can use them straight from the bottle no messing or mix water with them on a craft mat of old plate to get a water colour affect ,
