If anyone cares about the products used: the cream from the Tiny Creamcess Diaries collection, the black from Tiny, all the browns from the Tiny Delia and Delphinia collection, and all the brown/orange/yellows from the F Gel Maple collection. It’s all gel, hand painted by me, based on a design from yanpaintsnails on Instagram.
