Well I started from scratch and finally got it

1 1/2 tbs blue
1/4 tsp olive
brush tap of white and yellow
1/8 tsp yellow Chartreuse
3 tsp clear

Only problem I have with it is that it's really flat, which surprised me as I had the clear in it. May go back and put a clear coat on it just to shine it up.

Your color turned out good. :icon14: I can picture it with a w.mellon/pepper top and a pearl belly. haha!!!

Did you cure them?
You should not get a dull finish at all if you are using standard powder. Think there is some matte finish powders but can't remember where i have seen them before. I have, however, gotten that bubbly/dull finish that a few of yours appear to have if the paint was over-heated. Seems to happen more often with certain colors i have mixed together. Sometimes get it when re-heating something. If re-heating is required, heat them slow and you should be ok.

Okay did a few more tests

Here's with dipping in a clear coat to make them shiny, because they were such a flat color they are a little darker with the clear coat.

One PM said "Try like a 5:1 of clear to your turquoise. Any more and it will prob become a candy"
You weren't kidding, put a bunch in and if it had been anymore it would've been a candy"!!!!!!!!

Added more color mix in to level it out, and now I'll only have to do one dip
