Hello, Crafting Superstars! 🌟

We’ve been listening closely to your feedback, and we hear you! Many of you have mentioned that it takes several layers of our Glitter Colorable Acrylic Gloss Sealer Kit to get that perfect, dazzling sparkle, especially on a white base. We totally get it—it’s time-consuming! So today, we’re here to share a super simple trick that’ll save you time, materials, and still give you that gorgeous glittery finish with just 1-2 layers. 🎨✨
Here’s the Secret: Add a Base Color! 🎨
 
 
Instead of starting with a white base when you're working with our mica powder sealer, try adding a base color that’s closer to the final shade you want to achieve. This technique will not only help you cut down on layers, but it’ll also enhance the vibrancy and depth of your glitter effect. 🌈💖
What You’ll Need:
  • Any of our Glitter Colorable Gloss Sealer Kits (we’re using the Christmas Edition today! 🎄)

Step-by-Step Guide:

  • Start by creating your base color.

 

For example, if you’re making a candle jar, use the Boowannite Set to create a red or green jar—perfect for Christmas! 🎅 

  

A base color that’s closer to your glitter shade means fewer layers of mica powder are needed. 🙌

  

  • Now, take your Glitter Gloss Sealer and mix in the mica powder of your choice. You’ll notice that with a pre-colored base, just 1-2 coats will give you that beautiful, shimmery effect you’re after. ✨🌟

Why This Trick Works: The key is that a colored base (rather than white) allows the glitter to pop more effectively and reach its full potential in fewer layers. With white, you’re starting from scratch, and it requires more coats to build up the effect. But with a matching base color, you’re halfway there! 🎉💡

 Pro Tip: Choose mica powder that complements your base color for the most seamless and vibrant result. This technique works for everything from candles 🕯️ to trays 🧑‍🎨 to holiday décor! 🎄✨

 Let’s Get Crafting: Whether you’re decking out your space for the holidays or creating custom gifts, this little trick will save you time while giving your projects a professional, sparkling finish. So, go ahead, try it out, and let us know how your creations turn out. We can’t wait to see your glittering works of art! ✨🎁

 Happy Crafting!!!
