Stanley you do not always have to have an airbrush. I would say paint black with a small brush and give it a slight mist with an aeresol gloss.
There is no black in nature.
Stain the nose using the "dark brown" Lifetone Skin Dye (you can use a q-tip to apply if you don't want to use a paintbrush). Then fleck it lightly with a "soft black" (really dark brown) to give contrast. Finally, gloss it well, otters are often quite wet.
