      Paula, the only way to get to know colors, is to play with them. Be curious and try to mix colors that you love by guessing what combination you would need to create them. Most of the time, your gut feeling is correct. 🧡💙💜

      @CathyMevik  4 роки тому +3

      Thanks Vickki! The top has a wire that cleans the needle tip each time you close the bottle. It only clogs once and a while when I use it, but thats usually because I've used it on wet paint or because I've pressed the tip down to hard.
