Try using a think layer of Rubino over your pink... but don't reduce it or it will become metallic... just a thin layer of rubino over your opaque pink or white and I think you'll see what you're looking for.
Just a thought!

Eileen, I think Robin meant the transparent lavender over the rubino!  Sounds like it would be pretty!
Before Bullseye came out with these bright transparent hot pinks, I used to get a gorgeous hot pink from mixing BE transparent cranberry pink with transparent neo lavender. One part cranberry to two parts of the lavender, I think, it's been a while. Oooo was it hot!
Yep, and I did that on a HH!

yes, the lavender has to go over the rubino, looks fabulous imo. You could also try one of the ask pinks, I really like the passionate pink and Lilac ice.

A layer of rubino over white will give you a bright pink like the blossoms on a bleeding heart plant....too much and it will become fuscia.
