Default Viva Decor Products

I have never come across a line of products that can be so hard to distinguish from each other---but they are soooo nice! It took me awhile to figure out that the pearl pens, paper pens, and glass pens did pretty much the same thing (make gem type embellishments), and the difference was in the translucency and degree of shine.

I have bought a number of the Inka Gold paints and have two yet unopened bottles of the modeling paste. I thought I had three jars of 3D Stempel paint from a convention; but the vendor had allowed them to freeze, and there is no way to return them to their original condition (checked with manufacturer). Then there are the metallic paints, crackle, Ferro, and who knows what else.


Which ones are you using and how? Love 'em?

I have Ferro (the metallic one), Croco (the crackle finish) and Terra (a sort of terracotta finish) in my stash - I confess I've not used them for ages!

Watch your Inka Gold, I know of quite a few people who have had problems with them going moldy. Don't put your fingers in the pot, Viva Decor apparently lays the blame for the mold on that - use a bit of Cut n Dry or something to scoop your bit from the pot and spread it.

Have fun!

Oh, thanks for this! I have one pot of Inka Gold, and I admit to sticking my fingers in it. Well, I'll start using foam now and if it goes bad, then I'll know why. At least it's only one pot that has the potential to go bad. In a rare display of self-control, I got one of a new supply to see if I like it. (And so far I do!)
