I also use acrylic (which is latex) but mix it about 1 to 1 with the latex (out of paranoia that it sticks, and it makes it less stiff when cured). Be warned though mixing will give you a different color when wet from when it dries so test, and you will probably need to layer it to get a deeper tone. But I like that effect anyway with the translucent nature of the liquid latex settling more into nooks and crannies, and so brings out details.

yup, I think I used three different colors on my corpse head with a really dark wash for the first layer to get into the nooks and crannies
