Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Dirty Martini is unique to the 104 glass lampworking palette.
"There is no other color truly comparable to Dirty Martini out there.  It is just one example of the unique colors that CiM is known for giving the glass art world.   Just in my personal opinion, it is a tad too gray.  But Kandice Seeber seems to do amazing things with it and it doesn't appear gray in her work.  I think it just the colors that you put it with." – Bethany Lemasters

“Usually, instead of the minty freshness of Dirty Martini, I use the reactive Copper Green. Using DM gave a cleaner, crisper finish to the mint green opaque base on these beads, without the tendency to patina with copper that Copper Green has. And the opacity was dense and smooth.” Read more at Kandice's color blog.

"I fully expected Dirty Martini to have some type of metallic reaction like most other 104 line shades of pale blue/turquoise/green. But it didn't really - and I LOVE that. The grey-ish quality of the rods brighten up just a bit when they're melted - and the result is a pearly minty grey/green/blue shade that made my heart sing."
