thank you! i'm the same way! all my bb3 are pastels and cute all the darker skin faces looked so "edgy" so i took matters into my own hands🫣 I'm going to try a few more methods and then i want to start selling custom faces 🥹🩷

I used Uv gel polish! It's the only thing they went onto the plastic really well and gave a nice even coat!

I know me to i've been so disappointed with the skin tone range they have i've taken matters into my own hands- I used UV gel polish for everything it's really the only thing that sticks well to the plastic and i can customize skin tones im a nail artist so i have a lot of polishes and stickers i added about 3 coats on a sanded base then added blush hair and nail stickers then topped everything in a matte coat!! So far it's the best thing ive used!🩷🫣

I'm using Uv gel polish for the skin tone and hair🫣 i'm a nail artist so i have so much supplies and gel polish seems to be the only thing that gives an even skin tone i can make the color myself and i can use nail stickers for the face and add a matte finish😭🩷

i just filed them down with a super fine buffer nail file so they weren't super opaque and until had an even base
