There are a couple of new products on the market since my last search.
What do you think of these:
I want a shimmery gold fine spray.
RIP Mr Hueys, RIP.

I haven't used the Dina Wakley product, so I can't comment on that.
I'm not sure the Mica Stains are what you are looking for. I have last years Mica Stain colors and they are the underlying stain color with a pearly/silver-ish touch. Does that make sense?
For gold shimmer I use gold Perfect Pearls mixed in a mini sprayer with water.
I'm heading out the door now or I would post a sample. I'll try when I get home.

I really want a fine mist and haven't gotten the results I've wanted with other brands. I just like a touch of shimmer on layouts that are kinda white, if that makes any sense. Just a little here or there. |

I have the silver Tsukineko shimmer spritz and I love it. It gives such a danty/light shimmer to the entire card. They do have a gold color but I have not used it. ACOT does have this brand. I was hesitant to buy 2 oz as I feel the nozzles get clogged before I use them up.

Thanks!

I just use it in the Ranger Mini Mister. They come in a three pack. There are so many colors, but I use gold and pearl. I couldn't get a good photo of the shimmer., sorry. |

blemon. I've had mine for years and I've never had it clog. The shimmer does settle to the bottom of the bottle and I have to shake it a lot for it to mix but clogging has never been an issue. The perfect pearls in water is a great effect too but it's definitely not as shimmery as the Tsukineko.

I have the Dina Wakely one. I think if you are going to use it to spray you will probably be fine. I prefer to use mine for droplets and if the drops are small, they are shiny, gold and lovely. If the drops are larger they have a bit of a texture and read more beige than gold.
The Cosmic Shimmer one is on my list to purchase when my LSS gets it back in stock.

I just sprayed mine, haven't used it in awhile and it worked fine. Took a few pumps but then sprayed normally. |

I never thought about using my Perfect Pearls that way! Thanks for the great suggestion, I will try that. I have some nice Perfect Pearl colors! I have some Ranger spray mists and a few of the Heidi Swapp ones. For my sprayers/misters I also have the 3-pack of Ranger Mini-Misters. I also use those with my watercolors, and the misters have never clogged on me. They are the same size as the Cosmic Shimmer one linked in an earlier post. |

Nuvo has two different gold sprays, one is darker than the other. I love them both.
