I so wish that you could see the shine and sparkle in this. I painted acrylic golds and bronze thickly and then added a layer of acrylic gold glitter. For the top layer I used acrylic pearlized metallic paint. You see different shades and sheens from different angles. Also the gold glitter shows in spots where it peeks through the top layer and is more prominent in other spots. It was impossible to get a photo showing the true beauty of this; it’s shines, sparkles and sheens. I hope that you enjoy!!!
