Over the past 15 years, Twinkling H20 fans requested a better storage solution for round plastic jar. We have put a lot of thought into this and are making improvements we hope will please YOU. The current Twinkling H20s round jars will cease and be discontinued by the end of 2017. Unfortunately, we will not offer our 216 color library “immediately “. We will reintroduce colors every 60-90 days until the entire 216 color library is released (estimated 2019).
Metal Tin:
- Accommodates up to 12 FULL pans or 24 HALF pans
- Plastic pans pop in and out allowing you customize your colors.
- Colors released in sets will also be sold individually
- Metal tin will also be sold individually
- Metal tray opens on two sides offering (2) two mixing palettes.

Formulation: Six New colors released.
GOOD NEWS the Colors are not changing. Our current 15-year green formula lengthened the time cakes took to soften also affecting the flow of the colors. While we remain committed to using NO toxic chemicals, antifungal or surfactants, OUR NEW formulation includes a vegetable-based wetting agent (softens easier), humectant (stays moist) surfactant ( improving color flow)

210 Intense colors split up into sixteen color categories
Antique-Blackened-Shade Colors: A Shade is simply any color with black added. We have carefully antiqued colors for you. To deepen add a “drop” more black. Careful not to use too much and block out color and light.
Semi Opaque-Whitened-Tint Colors: A Tint is sometimes called a Pastel. Basically it’s simply color with white added, which will cause a semi-opaque effect as mica light refraction is slightly diffused.
Skin-Tone Colors-Warm-Cool-Rose colored skin tones mixed in our signature “oyster “color.
Create translucent skin tones ranging from deep caramel to pale porcelain by mixing washes with water
To lighten skin tones shade: mix with color “oyster” available in interference iridescent- neutral group.
Frost Colors: Delicate color mixed in sparkling white mica. White mica sits on surface like a mirror reflecting light. Colors are diffused due to impeded light refraction, very useful for focusing light to one area, great for sparkly baby announcements etc. Frosts are not recommended for lightening other non-frosted colors. IT is recommended to use iridescent neutrals to mix custom shades.
Interference-Iridescent Neutrals: Transparent-translucent colors recommended for mixing lighter shade of other colors, Example Rich cobalt dark blue mixed with iridescent blue=light shade of same blue. Definition of Interference: Interferes with light casting a color accent to your color mix.
Metals-Metallic Colors: Metallic Mica or Ground metal-when specified. Colors are perfect for accents. Mix small amounts in regular color to enhance or create new colors.
