Experimenting with Antique Effect Paint

I experimented with the Martha Stewart antique effect paint recently.

I usually don't use a cup for painting, but this antique effect medium calls for mixing the paint with it.

Previously, I had a few unsuccessful experiments with this paint but I wanted to give this another try.

 After a few coats, I still don't see the effects. I am wondering is anyone seeing any successful results with this?

All right, I'm going to revert to my own primitive way of achieving the antique effect for my miniatures.
