Lolly powders are best on Shiny surfaces, Alum, or Chrome. They are a transparent clearcoat. So, they will let whatever base color shine through.

Adding to Bandits comments, the higher the film build the darker the color. Try less powder.

yes of course. remember when working with transparent powders that the brighter the base the brighter the finish layer will be & obviously the same applies to a darker base.
