These powders are amazing. The colors are even more beautiful than the pictures demonstrate. I use these with stamps to really give stamped images a multicolor and opalescent look. They work best on dark papers but I use them just as often on lighter papers. I really have enjoyed them so much I currently have four different sets.

The only drawback is the 'perfect medium' being less than perfect. If you use this to stamp the images in the hope that the powders will stay on permanently you will be disappointed. The powders fall off over time (hours & sometimes days). I purchased Palette Stamp & Stick Gluepad which works wonderfully with these powders. Good luck!

First off, these powders are awesome, however, I do have one problem with them. If you want to use these powders mixed with water in the Ranger Mini Misters, the color saturation is very low and the amount of opalescent shimmer is also very low. The nozzle on the mini mister doesn't provide as fine a mist as the Glimmer Mist bottles from Tattered Angels so the amount of liquid that sprays out puddles very quickly on your paper. After experimenting with these, I did have the kind of results I was looking for when for example,I added the "gold" colored perfect pearls with Tattered Angels' glimmer mist, wow a winning combination; I was able to get the level of color saturation I was looking for with more glimmer than the Tattered Angels glimmer mist provided. With the perfect pearls, I could never get enough color saturation that I was looking for, no matter how much powder I mixed with water into the mister bottles. I found I had much better results with this product when I mixed it with water and applied the solution to paper with a paint brush, however, you don't get the effect that a fine mist would provide. So, overall, if I had to choose between the Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist and the Ranger Perfect Pearls, I'd go with the Tattered Angels if I wanted to have a misty effect. Also, I did get very good results with the method Ranger recommends for using this product with stamps (stamp image on paper with an embossing pad like Versamark or Ranger Perfect Medium), then lightly brush on the perfect pearls over the stamped image, then dust away excess powder. The two colors in this set that I liked the most were the gold and the hot pink (the hot pink looks like purple in the image here but its actually hot pink). These two were very opalescent. For anyone who has never tried this product, I highly recommend buying just one color to use as a test, and test on a piece of waste paper first. Also, you can purchase brushes anywhere separately to save on costs. The brushes that came in the set are nice though.

There's so much you can do with these pigment powders. There are basic instructions inside the package. I sometimes dilute the powders with water in a mini mister and spray them on paper flowers, die cuts and stamped images. I have them all. Ranger products are top notch.

I just wish I knew how to work with them a little better because they really add to my art. The "glue" it comes with could be a little more stickyI've been using a glue stick instead.

The colors in this set are gorgeous! The heirloom gold is one of my faves. I primarily use this with stamping but sometimes experiment with other techniques such as adding this to Ranger distress paints/ stains. This comes with Ranger's Perfect Medium, when stamping I find I get better results with versamark. I love that this set comes with two pretty nice brushes, they are necessary when applying pigments. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because it is nearly impossible to contain pigments around work surface, they get all over the place! Swifter dusting clothes help minimize the pigment spread. Price wise, Amazon sells this product at a good price compared with most craft stores.
