Hydro Dipping Glass with Nail Polish Water Marbling

After attempting nail polish earrings last week, I decided to put the rest of that old polish to the test by hydro dipping glass candle holders. This water marbling technique isn’t new to me, or the nail art world, but I’ve never done it on stuff before.
These votive holders were ruined and destroyed in my last hydro dip attempt so they were the perfect pieces to take back to glass and test the dip!
Products/Supplies/Materials used:
Various brands and shades of nail polish
Sterlite plastic bowl
Popsicle sticks
Nitrile gloves
Glass votive holders

These came out amazing!! 🤩 And I say definitely go for the hot pink pixie cut! You only live once and you won't get fired for doing it. 🤣🤪

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

True, my boss is pretty cool with all things fun and funky! I have to do more research first on the right color and products. Glad you like these! Thanks 😍

[@marshamcintosh4790]

Neat project!

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

Thanks! It was fun!

[@SherriRothhaar-ej2nf]

I feel your pain. It's been a long summer! And not a drop of rain in Tempe! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

Hope you all get some rain very soon! Thanks so much for checking out the video!

[@JudisJems]

Love the way these came out - and using up old polish is a good thing! As for the hair, if you're feeling it, you should do it no matter what any of us think! As you say, it is only hair. It will grow again all too soon!

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

Hmm, it feels like you might agree with Sue on the pink hair part?! 🤔🤣 You're right though, it's my head to do with as I wish. Glad you like the holders, upcycling is my favorite!

[@vickyesperanza8267]

I cant either! I hate the heat!

[@emmkaa2099]

Wow!! These are the best results I've seen so far, and while I probably haven't seen every polish dipping vid out there this evening, I have seen a couple. The one I saw before yours reminded me to paint my bottle first (I dipped a small clear plastic bottle) and you reminded me to take a stick and swipe away the polish that hadn't adhered to the bottle. So... maybe NOW I got this? Nah, maybe tomorrow I got this. Can't start dippin' at nearly 10:30 at night, now can I? Thanks bunches from the southern California desert, MK. ♥️☀️🌵. P.S. I f it's not too late I vote YES on the pixie.💇 P.P.S. Commiserating about the heat ☀️🔥 sounds like a plenty good reason to sub! ...and me thinks you are a hoot! Count me in! 🙋. MK

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

Oh my goodness, thanks so much for saying that! 🥰🤗 I haven't done nail polish dipping in ages. But these are still holding together so I must've done something right! Though, thanks for the paint first tip. That would make things go much smoother, esp with plastic. And now you must report back how it goes when you try this again! How did the plastic bottle turn out? One of the best things about polish is you can easily remove it if things don't turn out how you want (on glass), so it's fun to experiment. Ah, thanks for weighing in, the pixie happened. Not pink yet but yeah in this desert environment the less hair on my head the better! Stay cool out there, our summer has only just begun! 😓💕🌵

[@madebyjunk1501]

this crafts are amazing💙💥💯 see you next time

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

Thanks for saying that and for stopping by to watch!

[@Navillus02]

Can you tell me if you use luke warm water or cool water? After I pour the nail polish in and try to move it around, it seems dry and won't swirl.

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

I usually use room temperature water. You do have to work somewhat quickly and also watch the thickness of the polish. It's a tricky process sometimes to get it just right. Keep practicing, you'll get it!

[@Navillus02]

Thank you!

[@michaelangeloGA]

To be clear, what is the clear liquid in the bowl? Hot pink, all day long!

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

Oh that probably would've been useful info, huh? Sigh. It's just room temperature water. Okay, 2 votes for pink hair woo hoo!

[@missijohnson1108]

Can I use gel polish to hydro dip some plastic storage containers?

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

I've never tried this with gel polish but if you try it let me know how it turns out!

[@shondawhitaker8728]

Do I need to spray first? Or can I dip and then bake in the oven to seal the polish??

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

Don't bake these in the oven. Not a good idea for many reasons - polish fumes, potential for the glass to shatter - to name a couple.

[@shondawhitaker8728]

@@CopperCactusCrafts thank you for getting back to me. You are CORRECT btw. They didn't shatter , but did ess up the beautiful colors I had made.

[@suefitzpatrick5343]

These look great. Pink pixie - meh. Pixie ok, not so on board with the pink. If you don't like it though you can always dye it another color.

[@CopperCactusCrafts]

So glad you like them, me too! Thanks! Okay, 3 votes yes for pixie, 1 vote meh for pink. But that's what I'm thinking - dye it again, or cut it off. It's just hair, nothing's permanent 🤷‍♀️
