The clear will also aid you when you decide to start adding glitter, although the mix ratio's between color and clear go up

+1. I'm just tore into my last pound of clear last night. It should last for quite a while as I'm mostly just doing color mixing now......BUT, if Rosey's was to run another big sale like they did last March, Hmmmmmm. Who knows!

I saw on one of the blues that it seems like you added glitter to the mix. Is there any special type of glitter that you use or can you use any type of glitter to mix with these paints.

Thanks,

Bobo

You can use stuff from Walmart, JoAnnes Fabrics, AC Moore, Hobby Lobby and Michaels. I haven't had any problems with any of it in curing. I like the fine and extra fine

YJ - Nice colors but ?? In your pic they look bumpy and heavily coated. Looking at your receipes you don't list any clear. Add some little by little and I think you'll find you'll have a nice smooth finish and may see the glitter better.

+1 in fact, your mix's come to 2 teaspoon's each so if it was me, I'd add a level Tablespoon to each. Shake/mix real good and keep it loose while in use (by stirring about every 3rd jig). The clear doesn't dilute the color, it actually will give the color more depth. Both are good color's. In fact, one of my first mix's was what I call Grape & it's real similar to your mystery purple.
