Today's product focus is Shimmerz!
Shimmerz Paints has a blog that has lots of inspiration and tips!
A few things good and not so good about Shimmerz from humble me~
The good~
- lots of fun colors
- reasonably priced
- easy to use
- lots of sparkle
- there is a slight odor
- for me, these tend to dry up but if you add just a bit of water they do mix back up an work fine
- sometimes even after mixing there are "chunkier" areas of sparkle than others
Just like my other sparkly products, I always paint a bit on a piece of cardstock with the name so I have a reference of what it looks like.
To apply shimmerz, I just shake it up really well, mix it with my brush well and then apply with a small paintbrush. It can be applied alone or over most coloring mediums. It cleans up easily with water.
This is the image I was working on yesterday that I didn't like ( I love the image, just didn't like the way I colored her--but now I do like her, go figure)--I have used 4 different colors of shimmerz on her...it really does add a nice sparkle.

Be sure to come back next week for my last Sparkly Thursday on Stickles!

Oh yay, glad to know I can add water to them. I have a gold one that totally dried up and would love to use it again.
I'm so glad you did these. I like to see how something looks before I buy it and there's SO much product out there. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
