[@cindycoleman5196]

Great job, thanks for sharing.

[@deberinaemelander9371]

Omg, lol! You must be my kindred spirit! I do the same thing, buying multiples of things!

[@LunarSunCreations]

Love this comment! Honestly, I think the combination of online shopping after a couple glasses of wine, and the beginnings of memory loss, definitely factor in here!

[@iammymusictoo8525]

It’s working for ya, so, there’s that! You’ve got beautiful creations!!!! Impeccable end results, such taste and flair!!!! Thanks for the lovely share, you’re a joy to watch and learn from! New sub 🎉

[@debbiechristian1697]

cheap star glue works awesome too. i use foils for my death moth earrings especially. thx for sharing! looks great

[@LunarSunCreations]

Ooh! Thank you for the tip! I'll have to try that!

[@LunarSunCreations]

Do you have somewhere that I can see your death moth earrings? I'd love to check them out!

[@TodaysSpecialMinis]

Very interesting effects - I have always wanted to get a selection of nail foils to do things with and this is one of the mediums I wanted to use them with. I might have to just go ahead and get some. One thing that you probably do want to do if you're making jewelry to sell is to always finish off the pieces - file all the edges smooth before you decorate them and even make sure that all the pieces are not warped in any way - you may have to put some kind of weight on the pieces either before they bake or right after they come out of the oven to reduce warping. And maybe just use resin to glaze the pieces - glossy accents is okay, but I think the resin is much stronger and will probably last longer, plus - since the glossy accents and triple thick and diamond glaze and mod podge is water based - they will absorb water, re-hydrate, and dissolve if they get wet again. I love the different bails you used on the earrings. Anyway - it's fun to try all these cool things!

[@LunarSunCreations]

Oh yes, they definitely need much more refined cleaning etc. in order for me to sell them. These were just some experiments to see what I could do with them. I agree that resin is the better, stronger option. I am on the lookout for a UV resin with no or low VOC's.

Beautiful thanks for sharing

[@CatherineSummerfield]

Great tutorial.. I love your style... love back to you Thanks for sharing your time and expertise Big hugs

[@LunarSunCreations]

Thank you so much!

[@nicb8515]

I laughed out loud at the start when you said you should have bought one and I thought you meant one roll and then you showed us like 15 BOXES!!! IT ME!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@katiaeverett9965]

Ya, I have a problem! I'm glad to know I'm not alone!!

[@MichelleJ1822]

Just found your channel and you stole my heart when you said you didn’t buy just one you had to go all in. That’s exactly how I do. Lol.

[@LunarSunCreations]

You're my kind of person then! We're of the "all in" variety! I love that!

[@curious-kat]

Same here! I laughed so hard when she pulled out ALL the nail foils, because that’s something I’d do and it’s always nice to find your tribe 😁✌🏻

[@kellycarroll651]

Omg! The black ones came out awesome! I love the pattern! Thank you for doing this video! I’m so happy I found you today! It’s exactly what I was looking for and now I will be checking out you other videos 😁💜💜

[@nicholeholland2869]

I look forward to trying this. They are so pretty! Great job!

[@msbrithorton]

Such a wonderful idea!! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@shortiegrb1]

Mod-podge dimensional magic is a good alternative to resin. Also glitter or mica powder or gems or tiny charms in the holes would look amazing I think. Awesome tutorial.

[@LunarSunCreations]

Thanks for the tips! I love the gems in the holes idea! Definitely going to try that!

[@kellycarroll651]

Wow! You went ALL out! 😁💜

[@1111sophia]

I have discovered the foil is great on earthen ware fired clay. Added after firing, of course.

[@LunarSunCreations]

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try that out!

[@lindatomei8565]

Beautiful and creative art! 💜

[@LunarSunCreations]

Many many thanks

[@suzannevaughan3589]

Ooh how cool is this! Thanks for sharing Katia.

[@LunarSunCreations]

You are so welcome! Will definitely be using these more and refining things a bit.

[@rechellethackray]

Love these! ❤

[@kirstenb1997]

Beautiful pieces! The nail foils did ok on raw clay? And the transfer gel baked ok? I thought you had to bake them first! Love the ones with the holes in them!

[@LunarSunCreations]

Yes! It worked great! I didn't completely finish these pieces though. I have a dremel now and lots of wet/dry sandpaper as well, so the next ones will definitely have a more clean and polished end result! This was an awesome test run though!

[@gabrielabistram5289]

Hello, it looks beautiful, but I have a question: can we put such foil on a baked product? I ask, I'm making tracings on the cups, shaping the dress, ruffles and then baking the whole thing. Can I put it on raw polymer clay or will it work?

[@beckyb4074]

I have glossy accents, yeah 👍. Yea, I've heard about the strong smell of the resin stuff, so definitely not a product I want to mess with. I'd never heard of nail foils before you. What other crafty ideas could they be used for? I've got some air dry clay that I wanted to make shapes out of, possibly for earrings. Thanks for sharing your experiments. God bless. Becky B

[@LunarSunCreations]

Hi Becky! Well, since I have so many, I will definitely be experimenting more with them to see what else they can be used for.

[@NikkiVoelkel]

Those all turned out beautiful. Where did you get your nail foils at? I like the patterns.

[@katiaeverett9965]

Thank you! It was a good first attempt!! I got the foils online from ali expess

[@Theperilsofbev]

Gorgeous 🌹

[@coopsheep]

Hi Katia, Im new to your channel and polymer clay, so thank you for all your wonderful ideas. Could you tell me what your foil is please. Ive had a look online but there's so many. Some of the other channels ive seen, theirs has burnt or tarnished the pattern. Thank you. Sarah

[@SylvieCoetard]

❤ merci

[@user-pe8cu1vs6d]

LOVELY, THANK YOU. CAN YOU BAKE THE Decoart Duo Gel IN THE OVEN?

[@LunarSunCreations]

Yes! I've had no problem at all baking the pieces wirh it.

[@beckyb4074]

Hello Katia, I may have asked this question before, I can't remember. Where did you get the molds or cutters that you used for the shaped earring pieces you've made? Thanks in advance. I pray that you & yours (fur babies included) are all doing well. It's sure is super hot here this week, but last week we actually had 2 or 3 days that were really nice temps, especially for this time of year for us. Is it hot up there in northwestern Canada? Thanks for taking your limited time to share your ideas. Hugs to you and the fur babies. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas 😊

[@LunarSunCreations]

It's so very hot here too! Most of my cutters are from Etsy. I'll have to take a look back to find the names of the shops I purchased from.

[@beckyb4074]

@@LunarSunCreations thank you!!

[@adrianasilva943]

Olá você pode me dizer o nome dessas fitas ❤ parabéns seu trabalho é maravilhoso. Eu sou do brasileira❤

[@kellishores3639]

Where do you get that from

[@LunarSunCreations]

I got the nail foils from Ali express, but you can find them so many places online.
