Not sure about the first 2, but the foliage one has some green in it and gave me a peacock color look, pretty, but not what I wanted for a true silver. HTH a little!

Thanks. I can scratch that one off. I want the true silver look.

I just bought the Nu Silver (new to dusts) because I read here on CC that it's the one to use for Silver. I haven't tried it yet so I can't tell you for sure. I do think though that to get the silver look for the snaps, you'll have to mix it with clear alcohol or extract and paint it instead of just dusting, but you probably already knew that. HTH

I've only used the Nu-Silver and it does look like silver. It is however not edible...(at least the one I got says that). I used the Nu-silver to paint the eagle boy scout medal on one of my cakes in my photos.

NuSilver would be the best. Moonstone makes a nice shine, but is more of a gray, not a bright silver. And I agree that painting it would get a better look than brushing.
