Let me start by saying this Carbon Blue mica powder is *everything* for my resin art projects. The moment I opened the package, the pearlescent shimmer literally made me gasp – it’s like holding crushed sapphires. Photos don’t do justice to that blue-green shift when light hits it!
I used it to ‘paint’ my silicone mold before pouring clear epoxy, and wow – the depth it created looked like ocean waves frozen in time. A tiny pinch (seriously, half a teaspoon) colored a whole cup of resin opaque without clumping. No gritty texture, just smooth metallic magic.
The bag storage? Yeah, not ideal. I immediately transferred mine to an old spice jar (static cling with plastic is real). But at 25g, this will last me ages – way more than cheaper brands that fill containers with fluff.
Bonus points for being vegan/non-toxic. I accidentally smudged some on my hands while making bath bombs, and it washed right off without staining. Though fair warning: skip cement projects (the color fades), and always mix with clear bases for maximum sparkle explosion.
If you want showstopping DIY cosmetics or resin pieces that make people ask ‘WHERE did you get that color?’, this pigment delivers. Just budget for extra jars because you’ll want all their shades after seeing this one.
