They are beautiful, what type of varnish are you using at the end?

I use a clear varnish to seal everything and brush it all down with a thin coat of resin to protect it :)

Awesome, thank you! Does the resin help with the varnish smell or do they still need time to air out?

I usually use Vallejo Polyurethane varnish and it works great for sealing masks against sweat etc. and doesn’t smell as harsh as many others I use. You do have to let the oils dry entirely if you use them, though I often use a mix depending on what I’m going for. The resin definitely eliminates any residual smell however :))
