What is this used for?
is designed for artists looking for a longer lasting creamy silicone based face paint. This Neon Version of Honkey Tonk Turquoise is a pretty teal that glows under black lights. It does not have dayglo properties under regular lights. It is great for frozen crowns, dolphins, waves, butterflies, snakes and flowers. You can do smooth bases, line work, tear drops and small details with this paint as well! A little bit goes a long way! You can use Honkey Tonk paint for your next Cosplay or Halloween Costume, or to paint where a splash pad or other water activities might be going on. It will resist water, but is not fully waterproof.
How do I use this correctly?
To use Squirt small amount of paint on a non-porous palette as needed. Make sure to squeeze from the bottom of tube, and keep it squeezed when you cap it to prevent air from entering the tube. Use one color at a time, or select the colors that you want for a 1 stroke combo and squirt out paint one at a time on a palette in a line up so that they are side by side but with a small gap between each color. For a unicorn design you might want to make a thin line of Honkey Tonk, Dolly Pink and Patsy Purple.
Surface Prep: Make sure to only apply on clean dry surface for best results. You can clean the area you will paint with alcohol wipes or witch hazel. Do not apply on top of oils or other lotions. To Apply: Swipe your DRY flat, filbert or angle brush over the paint until it is fully loaded. Paint on the surface like you would any other paint. Besides brushes, you can apply GTX Cream paints with a high-density paint or wedge sponges. Allow the paint to dry before layering on colors. Dry time highly depends on how thick you have applied it. Allow to dry for 10 minutes before exposing the paint to water. Use a travel fan to speed up drying time. You can use setting powder to dust over the paint to remove any tacky feeling. Do no use setting sprays. If you want to have time to play with the paint and blend more for large designs, apply it a little more thickly and then blend out. Remember a little paint goes a long way and colors may crack and flake if applied too thickly due to the silicone base. Clean off your palette with Brush Cleaner between use for maximum sanitation. Do not use a wet brush to apply paints and do not dilute the paints with water or alcohol. The paint will lose its long lasting water resistant properties. The only recommended thinner to re-activate the paint if it dried on your mixing palette is to use a tiny amount of GTX Brush Cleaner. Too much will also weaken the silicone water-resistant properties, so be very careful when doing this. If you haven't used cream or silicone based paints before, there will be a learning curve to get started with GTX water resistant paints. Make sure to practice before your event or project. Once you have the knack you are going to love the fact that you can create your own one stroke color combos on a whim with water resistant benefits!
To remove it, remove GTX cream paint with an oil based cleanser, micellar water, or oils like coconut, baby oil, olive oil etc. Rub into the paint until it breaks down and then rinse away. It may take a few minutes of rubbing to get all of the paint to release from the surface before you can rinse.
Paints will last longer if you do not apply friction to the finished designs, and keep lotions, oils and soaps away until you are ready to remove it. This product can last from hours to days, but will slowly fade over time from friction or moisture. Chlorine from pools or hot tubs may cause it to fade or break down over time. Tests show that it can hold up to 20 miuntes in the pool without rubbing.
To store Store GTX Easy Squeezy Tubes in a cool and dry place away from direct light sources and freezing temps.
Tips: if your tapered application tip becomes clogged, use a thin needle to remove the clog. Be careful not to puncture the tube.
What are the characteristics / dimensions of this ?
This is labeled as a 25ML cream style SFX neon paint. It is 4.5 inches in long including the cap, and 1.5 inches wide at the flat end of the tube. It comes in a squeeze tube, and is a silicone based cream formula that requires no activation. The tube is clear with a screw-on cap, and it is made of plastic. This silicone based paint is resistant to medium-level friction, water splashes and moisture, but it is not water-proof, and if rubbed with enough strength it will smear or transfer. This color is matte. The shelf life is 36 months, and it is made in China under the strict supervision of GTX Face Paint, an USA company. Once applied, if properly cared for and under the right weather conditions, it can easily last 3 to 12 hours.
Some pro advice from the Jest Paint team to help you better understand your GTX paints: Silicone based paint cannot be exposed to air in the container, or it will dry out. Make sure to squeeze out your colors and keep the tube compressed with your fingers until you have the cap tightly screwed on. Very resilient to temperature changes, but for best results use and store at room temperature.
Because these paints are made with a variety of pigments and produced under different environmental conditions, it’s natural for their consistency to vary slightly between colors and batches. Some paints may seem thinner or thicker depending on the specific batch and color. Shades might not be exact matches for every batch as well. This is completely normal and part of the unique character of professional cream paints.
Keep in mind that most brands design their products to perform best when used directly from their original containers. Since they aren’t intended to be re-potted, manufacturers can’t ensure a specific texture for that purpose. When stored properly and used as intended, your paints should perform beautifully and deliver the vibrant results you expect every time.
What makes this different from others?
What makes this unique is its base formula and pigments used. GTX silicone based cream paints are a proprietary formulation made for GTX to fill the need for easy to use water resistant neon paints. The new Easy Squeeze Tube was released after feedback from customers looking for a better container to dispense the product.
