Question about Micas & Glitters

[Lindy]

I noticed with my swirl that the mica didn't really stay. It was CP and I used Cappacino Mica for part of my swirling. Is there a better product to use? Will it come back? The colour is there and I think I see a little but of a shine here & there.

TIA

How much did you use? I find I need to use a lot of mica to get a shimmer.

Sorry, can't help Lindy - I haven't tried micas yet. I will be watching this topic with interest to see all the suggestions you get!

many micas are not pH stable - the color can either disappear or morph in CP soap. Some are though. Click on Powdered Colorants for some options: http://host.webresolver.com/~tkbtradi/c ... egory_id=8

I typically use liquid colorants - Select Shades from Tradewinds.

I am totally in love those. Very concentrated, yet true colors.

Thanks for the tip carebear; i was looking to find a good color supplier; these look great and not overpriced.

Yes, yes, yes...............the number of colors you can make from the basic set is incredible. More importantly for me, as I am color challenged, are the handy dandy color charts. So far, I have found them to be true.
