Metallica and pearlescent paint in an acrylic pour is really striking and gives your acrylic pour some real depth. In this video I am reviewing some mica powders I got off of Amazon and teaching you how to make your own mica powder acrylic pour paint.

*Materials Mentioned*
Mica Powder 36 Color Set https://amzn.to/3sEodif

Mica powders are made up of pigment powder (the color) and ground mica (the shinny stuff). These powders can then be mixed with a variety of different mediums, including pouring medium, the create a shimmery and ethereal look to your paints.

Many people purchase metallic or iridescent paints that give the same look and feel and those paints are also generally made the same way so why not save some money and create the exactly colors that you want?
