Pearly water spray

[Tedology]

Hello all!

Question for you, please:

What can be added to a spray bottle (filled with water) to allow it to be sprayed to give it a shimmer or pearly effect?

Almost like to be able to cover an entire area with Wink of Stella.

Am I making any sense? LOL

Thanks for any and all guidance!

I think you are meaning this

I make this and have good results.  I like the gold mica

I've used perfect pearls dissolved in water.  I find that it gives a nice overall, but subtle shimmer.

Thank you, Craftyduo and Sunfleur! I appreciate the help!

Perfect pearls used to come in a made spray. But I think Ranger has discontinued it.

:( But sure you can use that. Color bursts are good too but those are bold colors not pearl. 

I have one called Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz that I think was recommended by Jen McGuire by Tsukinecko. You can find it in several places. This would be like Wink of Stella to me. The key words are "sheer" and "sparkle" as there are several colors.

It has a white pearly sparkle effect. 

I should be able to rattle off a bunch but I cant think of more now. Others will be able to.

I use perfect pearls, as well as an iridescent watercolor medium.The medium is liquid and looks like liquid silver. A little goes a long way when mixed with water in spray bottle.

InkOn3 has a sparkly product that can be added to water:

I have a bottle of this Sargent pearl medium that will last me a lifetime - a little goes a long way! Probably just a drop would be enough for your mister. I use it on my gel press, and I've added a drop to my sealer for paper beads. So pretty.

Related question: do you use watercolor paper when using the spray?

I’m late to the party, but Sparkle Shimmer Spritz is lovely and comes in various finishes and colors. I have the sheer, silver and frost in two-ounce spray bottles. From years ago I have the gold in a 1/4 oz. sprayer. Refills are available. They all say Imagine Crafts except one that says Tsukineko.

A little goes a long way When introduced to it at a shop, we were told to stand up to spray it for a finer and lighter application.I’m a Wink of Stella addict, and this can be a heavier application.

Liquid Pixie Dust from Ink on 3 is extremely sparkly and comes in a little bottle with an eye dropper. So I’ve brushed it on.

I got the Shimmer Mist from two local stamp shops but it’s sold in a variety of places. https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Tsukineko-SPARKLE-Sheer-Shimmer-Spritz-Large-2oz-IALAR004-IALAR004T?gclid=CjwKCAjw_sn8BRBrEiwAnUGJDmG3tA2eSN N5LDUNhU7Bs4E1jjzPLEXUXp7yi_-GZ_S2Jbsw5xvqMBoCLRQQAvD_BwE

I use a product called Iridescent Medium made by Winsor Newton.  I got it several years ago and used a coupon.  It is still beautiful.  You can add the liquid medium to water or to watercolor paints or just use it with a brush from the bottle.  Works great, even on dark paper.

That's what I use and I've had it for many years. I prefer buying the artist mediums since you get more product than the "crafter's" product.
