I appologize - the tube used in the above image is no longer available for new sales.

I have used an alternative tube that I think works just as well below:

1 tube of choice - In the top image I used Esmeralda - the artwork of KatNKDA which is no longer available. In the bottom image I used the beautiful artwork of Barbera Jensen which can be purchased here

“Angel Dust” is a PTU art kit created by KatNKDA. It can be downloaded from her store NK Art Shop. You can visit Kat’s blog here.
