What is Fusion Body Art & FX Split Cake - Leanne's Berry Pretty best for?
Fusion Body Art & FX Split Cakes are rainbow split cakes. All Fusion Neon colors are very bright under black light and can be successfully used for base work and line work (unlike other brands of neon colors that are hard to use for doing line work). All Fusion Neon colors are black light reactive. Fusion Body Art & FX Split Cake - Leanne's Berry Pretty 30gr cake by Leanne Courtney is part of Leanne Courtney's collection of split cakes specially designed for Fusion Body Art & FX. Leanne's Berry Pretty 30gr Split Cake by Leanne Courtney is a very strong contrasting split cake, with a bold darker side and brighter lighter side. Use it to create unforgettable 1 stroke butterflies and flowers, taking advantage of the dark side of the cake to create a bold edge that doesn't need an extra outline if you are painting in full speed mode. The Fusion neon paints that are in this cake will not glow in complete darkness, they need to be exposed to black lights to glow. Although artists around the world use these paints to produce amazing face and body art designs, the USA FDA has yet to test these pigments for skin safety so in the USA we are forced to indicate that these paints are only to be used as a special effects products to paint over clothing, prosthethics and other surfaces. Fusion Body Art has conducted private testings by specialized labs to determine that these products are indeed safe to be used on the skin, but regulations in the USA still require for us to indicate that they are not to be used on the skin. Please know that the FDA usually doesn't test a pigment for safety unless it feels there is a public concern over the safety of the pigment. As an example, even though henna and tattoo inks are widely used, the FDA has not yet tested them for skin use, meaning that they are in the same situation as neon "face" paints. Based on current regulations any off label use is at the user's discretion.
How to apply and remove this paint?
Water is the magic tool to activate Fusion Body Art & FX Split Cakes. We recommend that painters or parents apply water to their painting brush or sponge and then load the paint onto their tool, rather than spraying the paints with a misting bottle. Spraying might lead to an over absorption of water into your paint cake, which means soft, sticky paint that is harder to use. Load a moist sponge or a flat or angular brush (1" to 3/4" if you want to pick up all of the colors) by sweeping from side to side across the Split Cake using a small amount of water to moisten your paint until you have created a smooth light creamy paste, wipe any excess paint off of your sponge or brush on the edge of the container and apply. Choose a sponge or brush size based on how many colors you want to pick up. Hold the cake vertically so that any dripping paint will run down the color of the stripe, and not across the whole rainbow. Put just the tiny tip of your brush back in your water cup if you need to add more water. You want the paint to be fully loaded, appearing wet and shiny, but not drippy. Make sure that your brush is lined up with the correct colors when you reload. Rinse and repeat if colors start to get too mixed.
How to store Fusion Body Art & FX Split Cakes?
All Fusion Body Art & FX cakes should be stored in a dry and cool place away from a direct source of light. This means, don't store your paints in a damp basement, a hot or frigid car, or anywhere that might lead to a paint meltdown or stone cold cake. Even while you are working, make sure to keep you paints out of direct sunlight or humid locations. Painters should let their paint air dry by leaving the lids off between uses until dry, or storing in a case that allows you to transport your cakes without having to lid them. Do not store your paints in a refrigerator since it can get contaminated with food allergens and odors. When cleaning the surface of your paints, avoid using any fuzzy cloths or chemical products; a clean damp painting sponge is all you need to wipe the surface clean. Applying other chemicals like makeup sanitizers, baby wipes that contain perfumes, etc. can alter the chemical composition of your paints and stuff like towel and wet-wipe fuzz might get embedded in your paints. We do not recommend speed drying your paints by putting them into a microwave, which could destroy them. Instead consider using a food dehydrator, or setting your cakes near a space heater or over a bed of rice (without the paint touching the rice), so that the extra moisture can evaporate or be absorbed.
What else should I know about Fusion Body Art and FX paints?
Fusion neon paints contain no perfume, parabens or lanolin to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. Fusion cakes are vegan and they are not tested on animals. Neon colors, like in many other brands, are made with pigments that have not been approved by the FDA to be used in cosmetics (the FDA has not tested them yet for cosmetic use) but they have been independently tested and have been determined safe for cosmetic use by independent laboratories. Following FDA guidelines these colors are labeled as a Special FX product to be used on prosthetics, clothing, etc. Fusion Body Art & FX paints are manufactured in China under the direction and strict supervision of the Fusion Body Art & FX team in Australia, using a formula designed by Fusion Body Art & FX with ingredients sourced and provided by Fusion Body Art & FX. All pigments for Prime colors are made in the USA, as well as all FD&C and D&C pigments used on the Pearl range, which guarantees the use of only the safest and highest quality pigments in the production of Fusion Body Art face paints. The paraffin wax used on Fusion's Paraffin White and Pearls is one of the finest Japanese waxes available in the market for cosmetic use. Fusion Body Art & FX products are great for your cosplay characters, Halloween costume parties, carnivals, fundraisers and more. Like all paint brands, due to changes in environmental temperature and moisture levels, the paint can expand and contract inside the container creating cracks on the surface of the cake, and possibly cause the cake to shrink a bit in its container. This does not affect the performance of the product and cracks will seal by themselves once you start using it. Depending on the specific binders and pigments used and the environmental conditions, the consistency of the product can vary from hard and dry to soft and clay like. Either way, you will still be able to paint perfectly with your cakes.
