Step 7 – Let the colour do its thing White toner can also be used to dilute colours: e.g. Carnation Pink dilutes into a very pretty candy floss pink.We strongly recommend investing in a Mixing Bowl Tint Brush, Mixing Bowl and a pair of Latex Gloves to keep colour where you want it, and nowhere you don’t.
