Mermaid Caidence

So being on an Island in Canada, the only place to buy lumiere paint is three hours away. I got a bottle of Lumiere Paint Metallic Olive Green and Metallic Silver. It's supposed to look like this: http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h387/_Caitey_/Lumiere%20Paint/442401_zps0cdcfe8d.jpg

But when I put it on fabric it looks like this. It's the gold colored one in the upper Right Hand corner. Then I went and bought the Emerald color. That is the color on top of the Olive Green. It's also the other green color in the bottom.

Here's what they look like on paper.

So is this what the colors are supposed to look like, or am I just not adding enough layers or doing something wrong? The silver doesn't seem to have this problem.
