I love shimmery colors, so was excited to see this lavender one. When I applied it, it looks more silver than lavender. I am experimenting with adding a purple color I have to darken it a bit. I know I'll love it when I have completed the mixing process. It takes a while as I have to add the light color to the darker one, mix it up, then add the darker one back to the lighter bottle. Repeat a couple times.
