The Peridot Perfection Trio includes three different dip powders.
Peridot Fizz is a shimmer powder that has multiple shades of mica, eco glitter, and chrome added to it to make it a truly unique powder. This one can be worn with or without topcoat for a sugared or classic look. The sparkles in this one give it a sparkling jewel like tone. The swatch stick with the top coat has 3 dips of color and one dip of clear. Dip liquids were used. The sugared swatch is only 2 dips of color and then activated. The depth in color will be affected by the number of dips into the color.
Peridot Crystals is a fun flake dip that has 5 different types of flakes added to create different sparks of color. The swatches were made with 3 dips of color. I messed up on one and it was not encapsulated in clear or buffed and activated. I grabbed my top coat on accident and just went with it. I did a second swatch stick to see if it changed the result by adding a layer of clear, buffing it and then adding top coat. The one with a layer of clear has more depth to the finished swatch stick. It gives the flakes more flash. Dip liquids were used. The depth in color achieved will be affected by the number of dips into the color, I personally liked it better with 2.
Brilliant Peridot is a full on glitter mix of 4 different fine and ultra fine glitters along with 3 different chunky mixes. This one has it all from holographic, matte, satin, metallic, chameleon and iridescent glitters mixed in. The sparkle on this one is truly hard to capture and is beautiful in person. Swatches were made with dip liquids and 2 coats of dip and then encapsulated in clear. Again, I had an issue and wasn't paying attention to the liquid that I grabbed and ended up top coating one of the swatches after buffing the clear instead of applying activator. I just went with it and did a second swatch stick with all of the steps to see if it made a difference. Honestly, you can probably only tell in person. The one that was activated a second time before the top coat was applied is more sparkly and looks more crystal clear. My guess is that I didn't get all of the dust off after buffing since I didn't do my normal activator and then wiping of the swatch stick. Instead I went from buffing straight to top coat and did not remove any of my residue from buffing the clear layer.
The pictures are labeled so that you can see if you spot any differences!
*Powders made with ultrafine glitter may sometimes have a different consistency due to the addition of powdered acrylic.
Pictures of colors are taken in different lighting to best represent their true color. Color may however vary slightly depending on monitor settings.
While I try to capture the best photo of the true color, there are many things that may alter the color and vary your results. Computer monitors may make the color appear different than what it looks like in person. Other factors include lighting and method of application. Dip liquids vs. gel liquids will give you a different result as well as the amount of layers of color that you may apply. Swatches are made with 2-3 coats of color using the laydown method in a cupcake liner and most colors are encapsulated in clear. Dip liquids are used on every swatch. Solid colors may also have a slight shimmer due to contamination of the dip liquids.
