Links checked 12/12/13. The original date of this post is 2010 so all of these pigments are not available for purchase and none of the glitters.
I have for you my collection of pigment swatches, at this time in containers. As with all the pictures, click to enlarge for this is where the pigment names are visible. White lids are TKB Trading pigments, black lids are Coastal Scents pigments. They are numbered and arranged in the order I purchased them.

I think this is the first blog on which I encounter an extensive collection of both CS and TKB micas. Could you please let me know, are there any micas that are sold only by CS? I would like to order from CS but am afraid of getting the same colors I already might have.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you asked that actually. By name and color both Coastal Scents sells pigments that TKB doesn't but TKB's inventory is larger. I ordered from CS before ordering from TKB and I was sorry I didn't start there first. Give me a day or so and I'll compile a list for you of those CS pigments that are original to the best of my knowledge.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)

ReplyDeleteChrome Carmine Mica
Duocrome Iridescent Green Gold
Duocrome Red Orange
Gold Rush
Metallic Pixie Purple Mica
Metallic Sapphire Mica Powder
There are others I consider "must haves" for me but that wasn't what you asked.
Your research has been so invaluable to me, maybe turn all your information into a wiki page :D Poly Flake by Glitterex bled for me they should take nail polish off their packaging. =/
ReplyDeleteI posted this before I saw it on the bleeder list. >_< But still think they should take it off the packaging.
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree totally, especially since they know some will.
