Help with Arkham Asylum Poison Ivy

Need help choosing which body paints to use for Poison Ivy since her entire body is green. I've looked at all the forums, but am having trouble picking a brand to buy from. There's a novelty store that carries Ben Nye, so getting a hold of that is no problem, but I also hear it cakes up on some people. Mehron actually has the right shade of green I need, but is it better to use? If you have a better suggestion PLEASE let me know! ^-^

I did Ivy last year for DragonCon, and I used Kryolan Interferenz in Silver Green, since she seems to have a bit of a sheen to her.

I really liked what that Ivy used for her green. I went with a darker green because the render and in game were different shades and at the time I was one of the first arkham asylum poison ivy's. I was air brushes with ben nye and as long as you set the paint it should last you all day. I now use wolfeFX water based paint because I like it better. It takes longer but you have more control with the paint, shades, layers ect.

Does it take longer to dry or to apply?

I second using Kryolan, specifically the aquacolor. The finish is lovely, and it dries fairly quickly. I actually recommend steering clear of Ben Nye, I've had nothing but bad experiences.
