In the pot, Glistening Gums reads as a cool pink, mid-tone and moderate. For modelling, drop to Asmodeus Red in the recesses and step up to Perisher Pink on the edges, both Two Thin Coats paints. Glistening Gums is a bit distinctive: no other brand carries a strong same-finish match, though Vallejo Pink comes nearest at 74 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
