Traditional gem painting is slow, careful work: micro-blending and precise light placement over several layers. GEM Paints are the shortcut. A glossy, gel-based formula that gives a jewel a convincing sense of depth and light in one application, over a proper basecoat.

1. 1Basecoat with metallic white. A layer of White Metallic paint gives the gel a reflective surface to bounce light back through.
2. 2Apply generously. A thick layer of Gem Paint straight over the dried metallic base.
3. 3Shape it. Pull the gel with a small brush so it sits thicker at the top and thinner toward the edges. That natural variance is what gives the glossy depth.
4. 4Let it cure. Leave the model fully dry. A drop of Gloss Varnish on top gives a final, high-jewellery shine.

• Do not thin. This is a pure gel, not a standard acrylic. Water will break the formula and ruin the effect.
• It darkens as it dries. The colour deepens noticeably once fully cured, so judge the final shade after it's dry, not while wet.
• Matte varnish kills the shine. A matte topcoat over the gem removes the gloss effect entirely. If the model needs a matte finish overall, re-apply gloss varnish to the gems afterward.
