Question Twinkle H20 � VS - Radiant Pearls

Do you use either or both? I�m looking for the difference between them. I have every color of Twinkle H20�s � what can Radiant Pearls do that H20�s can�t?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Adrian

I've only used Twinkling H2Os but it is my understanding that Radiant Pearls are a thicker cosistency and do not dry on slick surfaces like glossy cardstock, vellum and plastics. Folks use old CDs as palettes for mixing Radiant Pearls. You also can't mix the Radiant Pearls with water. I think they give a more opaque finish than the Twinks.

Radiant pearls have more of a goopy paint like consistancy. They were used a lot a while back at conventions with stipple brushes to make nice backgrounds. Personally I'm more of a fan of the twinkling H2O's but I love to watercolor. My favorite tip for the radiant pearls though is if you want to try them out get one of the whites like snowqueen and take a marker and make your own colors. Hope this helps.
