Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right section!

I'm making aroma beads. The directions call for liquid candle dye to color the beads. It also suggests that mica can be added for shimmer.

Can mica be used to color the beads if mixed with the FO or EO first?

Thanks for any help :O)

Mica isn't used to color the beads because they need the oil from the candle dye to absorb. Micas add a nice shimmer on the outside though. Try the mica with the fragrance, but I don't believe it will work as well as liquid candle dye.

I have Countryside Red dye from BB. Could I use that to color the beads? Would that work?
