Eye Candy 50gr "Dark Ube (purple)" Mica Powder Pigments (Resin, Paint, Epoxy, Soaps, Nail Polish, Liquid Wraps)

Color is nice. But wowwww that's a pretty penny for the amount you get. It doesn't come in a jar either. Taken with a pair of glasses for size reference

I use several pigments from Eye Candy, and they do not disappoint. They’re all beautiful. I can’t say a negative thing about them. The “Persian purple” is this deep, saturated, indigo-blue-purple color and it’s just mesmerizing. I use these pigments in my cosmetics, resin projects, making my own paint, and countless other colorful creations I make with my son. These are top quality pigments and they are safe to use, and since Eye Candy is a veteran-owned company, that’s all the more reason to shop with them, besides the fact that his pigments are bar-none, some of the very best on the market. They look beautiful in both CP & m&p soaps as well. If you’re considering trying them, do it. The customer service is great as well, and if you have a problem, they’ll make it right. It’s good stuff and it’s safe. Can’t ask for much more!

Ive bought several different colors of Eye Candy Pigments, they always are bright, colorful, and vibrant. I mix it into pouring epoxy to add to Lichtenberg wood fracking/burning. I get so many compliments on the colors,. they have so many to choose from. I selected on these because the colors seem truer on what you are getting than others. I love the Okinawa Blue, it has such a pearl-essence look to it, and the Glimmer Ghost white. I usually add some whit to most colors because it has a metal flake or glitter type of addition to the colors. I have also mixed to colors together on epoxy pours, so that the wood has several colors and faded mixes on it.. I plan on trying some of their color shift pigments soon..

We have glazed dark blue/purple pots around the patio, and occasionally I want to finish another piece in a similar appearance. To glaze an old concrete birdbath, I mixed the mica powder in epoxy resin, and covered the bowl inside and out. The mica mixes easily, and the glaze can have a translucent or opaque appearance based on the amount of mica added. The epoxy gives a nice glossy finish that mimics the glazed pots.. Hopefully this will last for a few years out in the weather.

They have two samples in their ad. A dry sample and a wet sample. I assume the wet sample is mixed in epoxy. I now know better how to choose my colors. They did NOT say that one was the WET sample or how it was used. Foolishly I did not pay close enough attention. The color is pretty but I am using it on a dry, sticky surface (Apoxie Sculpt) and the color change does not happen. I went back to buy the appropriate DRY color. This color is ok but it was not a match for my need.
