Add me to the list of those who use two-part epoxies. I like Envirotex, but Swing Paints makes a good product called New Luster 55 or something like that.

I top the smooth layer with gel gloss medium to get a more wavy look. I also add tiny drops of craft paints and some plaster of Paris powder to the epoxy so that it looks silted a bit, or at least turbid and semi-translucent.

I use 2 part epoxy - same product as I use for woodworking.

I tried matte medium, not Modge Podge. I don’t remember why. I was trying to achieve a Canadian Cascades look with different colors. Colors could have been successful, but I had bubbles up the wahzoo.
