layer up for best effect [SEP] i used the copper and the white silver to create the effect in the picture i love that the color was long lastig and definitely shimmery it did not flake off as some glitter based ones do i found the best effect occurred if i let a layer dry and then added more to build up the shine but if i did not wait long enough between layers it did get a little clumpy overall a fun addition for the holiday party season
