Embossing Powders Question

[LMstamps]

How are the Iridescent Ice and Hologram Highlights Embossing Powders different. In which ways would you use each of them? Thanks! :-) LM (who has Iridescent Ice, and wondering if I shoud also get Hologram Highlights.)

Hologram highlights works so nicely with blues. There is a small fleck in it almost like a mirrored chip(very small) I picks up light. So It is very sparkly. It is truly beautiful.
I don't like it as much with pinks and whites because the mirrored chip has a bit of grey to it so it is not as subtle and delicate as II.
I really like both and use a lot of HH at Christmas time. ( My fav way to use HH is with the Blue frost ink pad. Ink up your stamp in versamark, then on the frost pad , then stamp ( a big block image looks best) add HH and heat )

It is a spectrum pad which has a variety of shades of blue in it. You'll find it on pg 186 of the catty.
