Is it perhaps under UV light that they glow?

HIYA
I have glow powder that I mix with gel and it has to be charged under a uv light to have the best effect.. is it the powder that is already mixed and ready to use that you have or the one that you have to mix with your own product???

it doesn't have any instructions with it and i have tryed under the uv light, you can tell by looking at them which ones are glow ones but just struggling to make them glow heres where i got them from

hiya
just had a look.... they say natural light to charge them but surely they should charge under a uv light???...the ones I use glow within seconds of putting them under a uv lamp and glow for hours after too ..try holding the pots up to a regular light bulb to see if that works.. just one more thing I know with the powder I use if I haven`t used them for a while it sinks to the bottom of the gel and I have to give it a really good stir to mix it in again..maybe its the same with the powder give them a good shake to mix before you use them..hth
