As discussed earlier, I am still wondering how to get the shells like a mirror! I have tried applying a thin layer of pure cocoa butter in the molds before coloring and so, but they do not get shiny like this, for example; is it some kind of special cocoa butter mixture to achieve this shiny look? :) 

 

And of course poolish the molds as first step with cotton wool - is microfiber better than cotton wool?

 

When applying colored cocoa butter to the molds, is it unnecessary to spray the molds with pure cocoa butter first? 🤔
