I can't just leave it at that though, as Martha Stewart iridescent glitter is on the higher end of the price per ounce scale. Note that there isn't any "crystal mint" in the 12-pack, so you're looking at getting one of the 1.5 oz bottles (which is about the right amount for covering one average sized shoe). I buy Martha Stewart glitter at Michael's (usually using a 40% off coupon), you can buy it online here. I should also note that Martha Stewart "crystal mint" is what GlitterBuzzNola used for her Tiffany shoe, and you can see for yourself how lovely it turned out. So there you have it - just make sure (as always with an iridescent sheer glitter) you're layering over a similar pale blue or white so the underlying shoe color doesn't bleed through (I would prime with white spray paint first, personally or start with a white shoe or purse). Popular opinion (and I happen to agree) was that #3 was the closest match to Tiffany blue. #1 is Martha Stewart "wintermint," #2 is Recollections "frost," #3 is Martha Stewart "crystal mint" and #4 is ultra fine glitter from Joann's in "Caribbean blue" bag for comparison) and put it up to a vote over on my Instagram account: I pulled some "top contenders" for the closest mix-free match to Tiffany blue (including the two I'd mixed previously and a Tiffany & Co. So while I stand by my blending on Tiffany Box Shoe version 1.0, it was time to revisit the concept. My glitter collection has grown a lot since 2014, including a new shade introduced by Martha Stewart called "crystal mint," which is pretty damned near perfectly matched to Tiffany blue (probably not a coincidence based on the sheer volume of Tiffany blue that appears in wedding boards on Pinterest). So maybe some Pandora ladies will find their way here and find this info useful! Maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about with all this "krewe" and "signature throw" talk, but want to DIY some Tiffany blue shoes for your wedding day - I got your back. Tiffany blue and black are also the official krewe colors of the newest arrival on the Carnival scene, the Krewe of Pandora (their signature throw is a hand decorated glittered box). Tiffany Box is a fairly common theme for Muses shoe glitterers - like ruby slippers and Cinderella shoes, it's just one of those themes we all love to put our own unique spin on (full disclosure: I was not the first). In 2014, I did a Tiffany Box Shoe and shared my thoughts/research/insanity on how best to match that iconic shade (at the time, I went with Recollections "frost" blended with Martha Stewart "wintermint") and a recent chat with a fellow shoe-glitter-enthusiast reminded me I've been meaning to write an updated post!
Giving up glittering for lent will *fingers crossed* hopefully mean catching up on blogging.
