Mica is a non-toxic mineral that gives off a shimmery and metallic like appearance. You can actually find mica powder in cosmetics, such as eye shadow, blush, and powder foundation, soaps and lotions as well as art supplies. Mica powder can be mixed right into oil paint, acrylic paint, or mediums as well as with waxes, glazes, varnishes, lacquers, and top coats to apply it to furniture.
