I wanted to use pastel colors in acrylic. I painted the first layer on the inside inset of the frame with a mint pastel. You can mask the mirror with tape before you paint but if you have a steady hand, then you should be fine. And acrylic is usually pretty forgiving.
I painted the thicker inset a pale green. Again I was careful with the edges where the two paint met.
My next layer was a pastel purple.
I used a metallic gold paint marker to line the edges to give it some depth.
The last layer on the sides of the mirror - I painted in off-white.
