Can I just ask what you all use to mix your acrylic colours/glitters to get an even ratio?

TIA :) x
 
When mixing use no more than 30% glitter/pigment to 70% acrylic. A good and easy measure is 25% and 75% so 1 scoop of glitter/pigment and 3 scoops acrylic... You can use anything as your scoop weather it be a spatula or a teaspoon etc... It doesn't matter aslong as you use the same measure for each of your scoops.
Hope I managed to explain well and you get what I mean :)

Thank you! :) I did know about ratios, but I was just wondering what people used as their 'scoops' my coloured pots are small so a teaspoon would be out of the question but I'm at a loss as to what else I could use so that all the measurements are the same! xx
 
Hi I use a nail tip stuck to a cocktail stick with a tiny acrylic bead . Use different size tips to make different size scoops. X
