I love how you explain everything as your doing it, I love your video’s and have learned a lot by watching you so I wanted to thank you for that 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️

[@jang.7025]

I love how it turned out. Glittery but no outrageous color combination. Just got myself a cup turner from Homeproshop on Amazon and now looking for tumbler projects that uses glitters. Thanks!

[@kelseyshane2051]

You are amazing! Ive been wanting to do one of these for so long but Im not talented. LOL I overthink and mess things up. Hearing you say to just let things fall there they do helped so much. I didnt stress about anything and my cup turned out so pretty! I cant believe I was able to make something I didnt want to throw away on the first try. Thanks so much!

[@alicedolengewicz1214]

I've been binge watching you tonight... Found you by accident... Enjoying your channel... You said there are no mistakes.... I always say there are no mistakes, just new creative avenues available... Thank you for sharing your videos with us...

[@Jordan-yr9eh]

Thank you for making a quick video with real tips! Saves time for me!

[@karolosteen3313]

This is so awesome! Thank you so much for teaching us your ways!

[@alexsaucier6442]

So excited for part 2!!

[@craftbuggy5307]

I absolutely love this tutorial. By far, my favorite technique! I have tried Mod Podge and spray adhesives, but the epoxy method works the best for me as well. This video inspired me to start making tumblers!

[@makemeholla4u]

AWESOME TUTORIAL! Love that you got straight to it and not all the extra talking. Beautiful cup!

[@mandsnowak1724]

So ready for part 2 lol

[@jennahumphrey5495]

I just watched all 3 parts and this is an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing your insight and talent so those of us who are (thinking of) starting this adventure have some inspiration and direction.

[@NICOLEMARETT]

You are so welcome!

[@turquoismama33]

I'm enthralled with the music. Thanks for sharing the info on that. Great project.

[@aprildetar8779]

You’re like the bob Ross of glitter tumblers lol “Happy iridescent pink” “I’m gonna let it fall where it lands” “There are no mistakes in my studio” 🤣 Thank you for these amazing tutorials !!

[@meganthomas3212]

You should make a little matching key chain with the left over resin and some matching glitter to go with the new tumbler!

[@vondezredman2953]

Love your video and the glitter do you make it yourself and where can I get some love all of them, thanks so much, happy holiday

[@ayymaymay1]

I am do going to try this method soon! Thank you for sharing! I plan on getting mica but currently have some Tim holts metallic mixatives? Would those work at all?!

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

Mixatives can absolutely be added to tint epoxy!

[@scheriece1296]

Can’t wait to see part 2!!!👍🏾

[@fallongarcia4288]

Beautiful cup! I subscribed but can’t find part 2

[@aleishaeg]

[@nathaliaarreguin7406]

Beautiful where did you get your heart mold from? I'm looking everywhere and I can't find that one

[@Divangel2010]

Thank you soooo much for this.... I learned so much!

[@sarabilove8187]

Is there a substitute for epoxy that can be used? Love your videos 💕

[@coll623]

You never did do that mint Milky Way 😩 I was looking forward to it. I loved the way this one turned out and was really hoping for the mint one.

[@jeanniewoodruff1331]

ME TOO! :)

[@cherylnash5556]

Hi Nicole where did you buy the rose gold mica

[@jackiedepew4143]

Would love to see the mint milky-way

[@anngorley8270]

Do you have somewhere on here everything you need ?

[@lilycessna3077]

I'm using an already colored plastic tumbler. I sanded it, so the resin sticks? Is that good enough?

[@mizzgivens254]

what vendor is the penelope glitter from?

How did you make your turner?

[@fatimaarcaro8979]

Do you let it spin for the 5 hrs of drying?❤❤😄

[@kristindavis8488]

I can't find part two! Can you link it please?😁

[@Mickisha]

Hi, new subscriber. What spinner tumbler do you use? (I’m not even sure if that is the right name.)

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Beautiful love ❤️

[@tamarabeach31]

No I am her big sister

[@Mamaempowered]

hi Nicole, what's the difference between using spray adhesive or epoxy for the application of the glitter. xx

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

Truly a difference of artist preference. I personally find that using the epoxy method to apply my glitter assists in a better lie for the glitter (keeps my chunky glitters flatter) as well as better overall coverage.

[@mariamorin4201]

I have a question. Where can i find your pigment collection?

[@lilycessna3077]

AWEsome...so, when you spray paint it, no sanding and you don't have to put resin over the cup first?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

You should sand prior to painting to allow the paint to properly adhere. From there, you will coat the painted tumbler in epoxy and glitter the epoxy while it is wet.

[@kristi215]

Do you put something on the inside of the top to prevent epoxy from getting inside?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

No, I do not. I will usually use an Exacto knife to peel out any epoxy that goes astray.

[@LivyGrl09]

Was the white due also mica powder? Can I use all mica powder or do I need Roger white pain too?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

You can absolutely use all mica powders to tint your epoxy for this technique!

[@jessicaerickson8808]

What is the name of your 3rd glitter I could not catch the name. TIA

[@brandipratt756]

Is there any way you can remember where you bought your heart silicon mold from? It looks like it already has a pre-made hole but it is hard to tell from the video. :)

[@vianeymoreno2909]

Brandi Pratt it’s a heart. pdblanksandglitter.com/collections/silicone-products

[@melinavillalobos6500]

LOVE your work & tutorials, thank you!! Can you please tell me which epoxy from FX do we purchase? thank you in advance!

[@rachaelmata327]

I would like to know this as well .

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

I use the Premium FX Epoxy here.

[@SerenityTravel1222]

I know this is gonna be a silly question... well, 2 actually. How do you know what colors and glitters to use together? And do you ever do the Milky Way with a glitter swirl base?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

Such a difficult question to answer! LOL I simply choose a base color (say pink, for example) and then narrow my selections for complimentary colors and such from there based on whatever I'm feeling for the project in the moment...Definitely not a science. LOL Glitter Swirl bases are also a very common match with the Milky Way technique!

[@traciebrown8741]

Do you sell or just make for friends and family

[@tiffanytedesco913]

I think it would be cool if you added some text to your videos detailing each step and the products because it’s cool to be able to know what they are for beginners but great video and great tumbler!!!

[@pcasey1120]

I was trying to watch the video but I couldn’t help by being distracted by that BIG ASS ring 😂😩... I love it and the cup🙃

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Hahahahahaha!!!!

[@torynrobison4353]

Just watched and am curious. After priming the cup and you’re adding the epoxy with the rose gold why is the rose gold added when it gets hidden under all of the glitter? Could instead it be spray painted to have a different color as the base coat (instead of a white) to prevent the metal from peaking through?

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Toryn Robison this is a great question! I do extra color and sheen under the glitter to bring the sparkle of the glitter out even more. Plain white can take away and dull the sparkle. Sometimes you can even see the white poke through the chunky bits and you see the base of the cup :) ta- da!!!! ✨

[@torynrobison4353]

Makes sense! Thank you!

[@trishbarrett7914]

The rose gold mica you used as a base, is it from your iconic collection?

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Trish Barrett yes ma’am!

[@cheryldeeter976]

How do I get the signature rose gold mica powder?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

You can find my products at my shop: www.NMOShop.com

[@MsSassyGial]

What if the cup already has color and.you wanna.use it like that..would that work?... also...what if you don't have a spinner..do I really need it??

[@spiritwings4592]

The tumbler spinner helps alot but you can do the drip method .

[@brandycampbell8270]

When adding mica to epoxy, how much do you recommend putting in?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

I don't do exact measurements, and there is no 'right' answer. I recommend starting small and building upon it until the desired opacity and color are achieved. Remember - You can always add more, but once it's there, you cannot take it back out. :)

[@angelajohnson2812]

Does anyone know if she uses all chunky glitters? Or are they mixed?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

I use Chunky Mix glitter - So it has many different cuts and sizes in the one mix which allows for more full coverage. :)

[@pollycampbell1091]

do you mind link all the glitter you used in this video please?

[@aglimpseofyaya9169]

Does the cup actually need to be spinning for the drying process?

[@TiffanyinOklahoma]

Yes for the epoxy to cure evenly

[@reneewagenmaker7065]

Do you sell the pigment

[@katieaaron3021]

Does anyone know any coupon codes to PDB glitter?

[@Love-peace-art]

How do you clean the epoxy off of your fingers? This cup is so beautiful.

[@EllePole]

Omg you should NEVER touch epoxyresin without gloves, a face mask, open air ventilated room. It’s very dangerous!!! It causes lung problems, cancer, skin rashes... Just look it up! It’s extremely dangerous, and people have died using it!

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

While you should only truly handle epoxy with a gloved hand, things do happen sometimes, and we find it in a whole host of places it doesn't belong (including our hair occasionally! LOL). To remove epoxy from my skin or hair, I simply wipe it off with alcohol then thoroughly wash the area with warm water and soap.

[@j.henderson3811]

For the Milky Way cups do you only recommend using chunky glitters?

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Nope, I use all kinds of cuts and sizes

[@jeanniewoodruff1331]

where did the white dye come from? or a specific product?

[@NICOLEMARETT]

I have several coming out very soon :)

[@ashleyrogers8632]

How many layers of opoxy do you put on after the glitter

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Depends, you definitely want to lay on 2-3 before you sand. Then after that 1-2 coats depending on the coverage you want.

[@loriu7471]

Do you have to use a torch when you use micro powder?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

The torch isn't for the Mica Powder. The torch is to pop all those pesky micro bubbles in your epoxy, and I highly recommend using one.

[@jessamoody3840]

Does anyone know where I can find a spinner like that??

[@taylorhill9939]

Jessa Moody Amazon

[@joycenesselhauf1220]

How do you make the turner?

I ordered this one from Glamour Tribe Customs on Etsy

[@thirtysomething4532]

What company did you say that pandora glitter is from??

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

I have since started using a new vendor for this glitter: Backfist Customs. So the name is different, but the product is the same. It is called Pink Bubbly with Backfist Customs. :)

[@brandischaffer744]

Is there a website for the glitters you used

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Yes check out pdblanksandglitter.com

[@jarodwoods3650]

Do you half to sand it down your the first one I ever Hurd to sand it

[@brianab2005]

It is a smart step to take to make sure your epoxy or paint adhere properly.

[@racquelknowles3536]

If I don't have mica can I use achool ink or achool paint?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

Yes - Alcohol ink or acrylic paints may also be used to tint your epoxy. :)

[@veronical1080]

Where is the Penelope glitter from? I couldn’t understand

[@jessicaanette8428]

[@racquelknowles3536]

If I don't have mica what else can I use?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

Alcohol inks or acrylic paint may also be used to tint your epoxy. :)

[@or7850]

Nicole, do your cups turn out smooth everytime? I've made a few cups and theres always tiny bumps (not too bad). I am wondering if this is pretty normal since these cups are hand made. Ty

[@erdiaz13]

I just listened to her podcast about glitter and I know nothing about making a glitter epoxy cup but they mentioned that the better (poly) glitter lays flat... They also mentioned sanding it after one point and the cheap glitter sometimes losing color. Hope this helps!

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

Often times - Especially when using a chunkier glitter - more than one coat of epoxy will be needed to achieve a fully smooth coat. I will typically use an Exacto knife to shave off those sharp bits, then sand the cup to an even finish and apply a final coat. :)

[@spiritwings4592]

Wait until your epoxy is tacky take parchment paper or wax paper and press the glitter down.

[@michaelmontano2873]

Are these look like chunky glitters? Can you use fine glitter?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

You may use anything you like! That is the beauty of art, after all!

[@carolemattia7867]

Where do u get your tumblers? Thx you mentioned it but I can’t find it again,,,

[@rachaelmata327]

I want to know this too .

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

I use many different suppliers for my tumbler needs. A list of preferred vendors for all sorts of products can be found in my Facebook group: NMO Resin Society (facebook.com/groups/TumblerMagic)

[@MrsQueKnightWilliams]

My question is how did the epoxy stay wet or workable where you can continue to put glitter on

[@savagetwin52]

You have to know the pot time of the epoxy. The longer the pot time, the longer it stays "wet" and usable. But you can sometimes hit it with the heat gun and that might loosen it up.

[@MrsQueKnightWilliams]

@@savagetwin52 never heard of the term" pot time"

[@savagetwin52]

@@MrsQueKnightWilliams It is the amount of time you are able to use the epoxy before it starts curing and is too thick and hardened to do anything with. Before tumblers, I was in the resin jewelry world. Resin and epoxy are interchangeable terms. So I knew about pot time from that craft. Every bottle of epoxy resin must state pot time so you will know just how long you've got before it becomes unworkable. Hope this helps.

[@lovevintageinc]

Do you have to use heat?

[@nmobrandambassador6953]

I use a torch to bring those pesky micro bubbles in the epoxy to the top to pop so I get a crystal clear finish. While it isn't technically a requirement, I do highly recommend it.

[@shawna29xx]

Can you use a yeti that already have color on it

[@NICOLEMARETT]

Yes just use a light sand and wipe it down with alcohol.
