In Use:

Some of the biggest names in scrapbooking are using this product with great results. After seeing what they did with it, I just had to give it a try. I was pleased with the outcome; there are several benefits of using this product.

Possibly the best benefit is the low cost. I have to say this is the absolute cheapest way to add bling to any project. Another benefit is the variety of colors. With 82 choices you can find one to match every project. Another feature I love is the added dimension; adding a little 3D to your project is just good fun. Lastly is the pure pizazz factor, because the glitter adds just the right touch of bling.

There are only two challenges that I encountered with this product. First is the learning curve, as it does require a little practice and a steady hand. Second is the need for drying time. This could possibly be eliminated by a heat gun, but be prepared to build in a little extra time for the paint to set.

In conclusion, I would certainly recommend this product. Consider these to be little bottles of affordable rainbow bling overflowing with countless possibilities.
