They have dyes for the resin but for this croc I mixed some olive powder paint with gold glitter that I use for my jig painting into the resin and it worked ok, more bubbles than normal. You can barely see it but I finished the belly or bottom by mixing super glow in the dark white powder paint into some resin and topped it off once the olive was dry. Three layers total. Clear, olive and super glow white. Charge the glow under a light and you can see it glow all the way to the top.

I'll post a couple pictures of the glow belly later tonight when it's dark to show the glow. Glow pigments are cool but are expensive so I use it sparingly.

hmmm looks like their tops could hold a bar of soap or a nail brush? always useful for rock hounds...
the purple one sparkles... is it something you put into it or just the way the light hits it?

The mold is listed as a soap or candy dish. I added some neon glitter to brighten it up since I didn't put rocks in the purple one.
