From Miss K's Blog:

"I just swatched these... I could only get the sparks to appear in sunlight, the effects present in these shadows are very hard to photograph! You'll have to see these in real life to enjoy their full visual beauty! The shimmer sparks in these is a pigment which is translucent and is extremely difficult to capture with photography, but very vivid in real-life. C'est la vie!"
