Shimmery liquid for water cooling?

Hey guys, 

 

I am thinking about getting into liquid cooling my PC, I am considered what you guys call a "hot-rodder". Meaning as much as I care about performance, I am much more enthusiastic about the looks of my PC. 

 

I recently came upon this liqueur, the Viniq Shimmer Liqueur, and thought that a liquid that has the same physical properties this liqueur has would look awesome in a water cooling loop. Problem is, I don't think liqueurs are recommended for water cooling loops (possible?) and I don't know if a substance like this exists for water cooling. I was wondering if anyone on these forums would know if this is possible.

 

The plan so far is to purchase a Swiftech H220-x and replace the fluid with something like this. It will only be cooling my locked i5-4440.

 

Here is a link to what I mean by the physical properties of the liqueur:

No please dont use this, Mayhem also have this type of coolant and as it says in the description its for show/photo use only. The particles stick to your tubing and settle at the bottom of your reservoir and basically block everything up. I used it once for a build of my mine and thats exactly what happend, I had to flush everything out and get new tubing.

 

Please dont use this.

Mayhem's Aurora has their effect and is a purpose made for water cooling loops but the issues is the effect gets loss over time within a few months and the shimmering particles tend to settle out so it's not recommended for long term use even though some user have tried it for longer periods f time than that.
