I don't have any of the suggested colors, will try the Olympic Color first
Where do I find "marvelous"? Is it Effetre?
I ordered a beige color from Double Helix and will try it tonight.
Thanks so much for all the suggestions, keep them coming!

Czech shampoos have to be worked cool, cool, cool. If you see little sparkles flying ... the sheen is burning out.
Czech has a white shampoo and I have a cream/beige that only comes in pressing rod form instead of lampworking cane. It could be blended with white if too dark.
However ... I agree with the statements on Pearl Beige. They also have Mystic Beige but I don't like that as well ... it seems to stay more tranparent for me than the Pearl. Love it as a base for silver glass as well since it is Non-reactive!!
