What are the best pigments to mix with silicone and paint onto a white silicone tail? Also how much silicone would I need to paint a full tail? I am planning on getting a single color Mernation tail in white and painting it with sunset colors or rainbow colors?
Can I use Createx paint and mix it with silicone?

You can ask to the Siren tides' girls they are repainting a full silicone tail they can give you some advices there is also a thread dedicated to it but with tapatalk I can't give you it :(

You're going to want to use mica pigments. Pearl ex perhaps. They also sell silicone specific pigments at smoothon.

Technically you can use eyeshadow, too.
But I'm not sure about Createx Paint. I don't even know it :$

Pearl-ex is said to be one of the best and cheapest.

I like pearl ex pigments, though so far I've only used them for making starfish and adult toys.... >.>

I wonder how much mineral eyeshadow would be needed. I have several blues and blacks that I bought when an online friend started a mineral makeup company and I wear so little eye makeup and rarely shadow, so I have them left. I might make use of them, yet.

I have used eyeshadows (pressed not loose though) and I find you need a lot more to get the same pigmentation. It was very cheap makeup though, so perhaps a brand with better pigmentation may work better! Hope this helps!
