I'm playing around with the BB sample mica set, and I made some MP kitty soaps. As I was stirring in the micas, they were so pretty and sparkly, but somehow they didn't do that sparkly thing after they set up. The kittys just look plain colored.

What base were you using? I use the regular clear BB MP base and I get pretty shimmer all over the place.

I also find a little bit of soap glitter goes a long way too for punch and pop.

If it's the white base, you won't get much sparkle from that, use clear instead.

I'm using a clear melt and pour.

Maybe you're using too much?
