Rainbow Shiner? Dace?

My crafty sister was nice enough to let me borrow some pearlex, it's neat stuff. Strong too. Small amounts it acts like hilites, but add more and it acts more like a pearl powder than what the hilites do at the same rate. Not sure what I'd call this, colors are inspired by rainbow shiners and dace, but I'd need a twinjector and lami plate to make either of those accurately.
All plastic is Do-it regular
Hilites and flake are sparse and to taste.
