It is really easy to use. The brush is reall fine tipped so you can control where you are putting it. I really like it. I got mine at www.stampingscrapping.com
I've got these, and they are a lot of fun to accent things with too. Since the point is so fine, I've also gone around in my Nestie's scallops and put a small decorative dot as an accent. It looks so perfect as though it was in the paper, yet adds that perfect shimmer around the edge. They are so much fun.......
..........I took a smooch class last weekend at a LSS and a few of the things we did:
-applied it to stamps using the applicator that is comes with and stamped it onto dark colored cardstock and it was beautiful
-used it to color metal hardware - it did a great job
They told us that Smooch is the mica magic reinker ink. Judikins is selling it under a different name, but theirs is also the mica magic reinker ink - just packaged specially for them.
You might want to check for mica magic tutorials, too, since that is what this is.

I found I had to clean it [Smooch] off my stamps pretty quickly or it dried and was a lot harder to remove later on. :o
But, it is a very pretty effect!!! I mostly use it to highlight/accent images I've already colored in with another medium.
Cool/fun stuff!

Good too know! Thanks Julie! I had only thought to use it highlight already stamped images - but thanks for the warning not to use it directly on my stamps! Not that you said that directly - but I would rather not take a chance!
wonder if it would work............lol
I know it worked on my toes!
Smooch is on sale at our local craft store (Crafts Direct, for any central Minnesota people!), so I bought two yesterday. The girl that checked me out said they're awesome for designs on finger- and toenails because the tip of the "brush" is so fine. She just puts a clear coat over the top, and her nails looked awesome!
(Now if I can just keep them away from my daughter! Ha!)
I will be there on Saturday, (crafts direct)thanks for dropping message; I may have to get more of it before we start our day retreat.
