When applied over a dark Fusion Mineral Paint, Alchemy Chalk and Limestone Paint, or Milk Paint it produces a show-stealing, intense shimmering colour. While still very noticeable on mid-tone colours it tends to be more subtle while offering a beautiful shimmer. When applied to light colours it gives a soft opalescent glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little goes a long way  – the thinner the application the more impactful colour.
