Hi am so sorry for getting back so late .I am Shalina 😊😊😊 thankyou so much for the shout-out. I'm really honoured. I'm totally loving how your coasters turned out with each time doing this technique a new wonder is born 👌 😍 🙌 👏

[@barbaramchale1306]

Hi Julie I love these- the white patches add more dimension to the coasters, I think. I also love the gold/silver edging you put on; makes them very elegant looking!!!

[@janesavage4733]

Now you know how excited we get being inspired by you. After I use the the UV light I place my pieces out in the sun and it helps with the stickiness.

[@bltigger2644]

These remind me of OPALS! Which I love, the cloudy creamy white with the sparks of color running throughout. Yepp Opal!

[@courtneybright9411]

Idea: use the same process with marbling first as the bottom layer so the good side is on top, then the UV dots, then clear. I think you would still be able to see they are 3D dots with the clear being on top but they’d be flat to set things on!

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

I think all you would see would be little pieces of glitter and no drops :)

[@RedMageJMD]

I was going to write the exact SAME thing. I think they would be much better.

[@fatenmahmoud829]

​@@PouringYourHeartOut I think you can work around this problem by making the dots a semi transparent color instead of clear with glitter, this way when you put the clear on you can see the whole drop as is it

[@courtneybright9411]

I think the TINIEST amount of alcohol ink to tint it just a smidge would solve the issue!

[@elvirtagomez2247]

Yes!

[@SomethingQuickly]

These turned out lovely! Top coat for sure, but I really love that visual texture of the white pigment amongst the glitters and cloud/marble textures as well! The gold/silver edging makes such an enormous difference! Oh my goodness! Beautiful!

[@miniscenesgb]

Wonderful t see old techniques loke UV rain drop given a seriously quality update :) great work Julie

[@EnolaEsor]

For the raindrop effect if you want to keep the 3-D aspect of it, fill your coaster mold with the base color that you want first (any solid color) let it cure, and then do a layer of just clear and let that go tacky… and on a separate sheet of wax paper or silicone (anything that resin won’t stick to) put your dots of UV resin in whatever colors or glitter-then set them with the uv light to cure so you can pick them off and then set them on the tacky, clear resin in the coasters. That way you’ll have the texture and the 3-D aspect of the rain dots. I hope I explain that in a way that made sense to you. Lol love your videos. You crack me up! 😊👍🏻💜

[@barbjalcorn]

If you get yourself a little handheld UV/LED torch, you can freeze the smaller drops for just 10 secs to stop them running into each other. So handy. Another gorgeous project 🇦🇺❤️

[@cathyclemmer2059]

Julie I really like them. They are so pretty.

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

I love this mold. Those druzy edges are beautiful. I really like the glitter drops, would like to see you do more with them. OK, now to the current video. xoxoxoxoxo

[@maddieadams75]

Wow, crazy this video just showed up in my notifications, it’s dated the 9th of March. I never not get notification or miss your videos. ❤ beautiful design. ❤ my advice to you when working with UV resin keep your uncured resin further away, from your lamp. It will cure if it’s nearby. Been there done that. And UV resin prefers clear mold to cure from top and bottom. 3 D rain drops that she does is layer of what ever color resin you chose, cure it. Rain with a touch of drops, cure it. Clear top coat. Three layer process.

[@cherylburkitt9722]

I love them n the white swirls.. beautiful 💝❤️💕

[@michellesbossy]

Hi Julie! The droplets have to be transparent, doesn't matter what color the background is. I've done it with gold flecks inside the drops, and clear, but the background color doesn't matter, as long as the droplets are clear.

[@conniepeterson1785]

These are beautiful coasters Julie! I would put them under the UV light to finish curing. Then I would add an additional dollop of glittered UV resin on top of your existing dots & cure. That will give you the 3D look you want.

[@MsWendalina]

Hi Julie! I had to pause the video to let you know about that “skin” you were talking about. (I knew that if I didn’t do it now, I’d forget! lol) It wasn’t the torching that caused it, it was because your little cups were too close to the UV lamp. I literally cover up any UV resin I have out before I turn on my lamp. Ask me how I know to do that… 🤣🤣🤣

[@octobermourn]

Ok I love those so pretty 🥰🥰🥰

[@charlenelesher1198]

That gold edging made a huge difference in them! It was just the right touch to step up the look and make them appear elegant! 💕

[@ResinanceHealing]

I love the white coming through!

[@mattersofthehartbynat8815]

Hi Julie… I hope I haven’t stepped on anyone’s toes, but I just popped over to Tea and Art’s latest video and added a comment about you asking about her name. This is the second time I’ve heard you mention her so I just thought I’d mention it to her! I love that you all learn and get inspired by each other so I just thought I’d let her know that she has inspired you! ♥️♥️🇦🇺

[@karennosakowski1009]

Love these! I think the white that you are talking about makes it look like granite. Very nice!

[@jacquiw804]

These are lovely Julie. You mentioned putting the left over UV resin aside for another day.....if left out in the light it will cure. Found that out the hard way😳🤪. Love your work

[@Catarina-i6j]

I love them, I think you should do it again in different colours.

[@teresadoyle5153]

Julie, you can put a mirror under the mold while using the UV lamp it will dry both sides.

[@amyerion9710]

You have some great ideas. I think I am going to steal this one. We have someone that would love this. And Birthday coming up.

[@elvirtagomez2247]

I added uv resin with regular resin a few yrs ago. But I did it the reverse of what you did. I poured resin in letter mold & then dropped uv resin right into it. I then cured uv with light and let regular resin set overnight. Perfect 3D effect.

[@janiceparker4530]

I love the blues but all are beautiful

[@paully2906]

Beautiful as always Julie, The lady from Tea&Art is called Shalina, she is lovely, I think she lives in London. X

[@katiefinken7805]

Marbles. Use marbles for your drops and use a see-through colored resin for the 3-d drop look. Place the resin as a basecoat fit your marbles in where you want them then fill with the rest of the resin. OR use the UV resin to create marbles to place them as stated previously. Just my thought after watching. These coasters were so cool I really liked them and I like the idea of UV resin quick and simple!

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Jonesing for this wonderful mold! ❤❤❤ I LOVE these, Julie! 💕😊❤ They're cute and somebody will really enjoy having them (like me 😊)! Love the pink and blue ones best! I'm so glad you like UV resin, Julie! Some day, you may want to try Let's Resin's low viscosity UV resin for doming. It's da bomb! The doming it does is just gorgeous and so, so easy. ~~~Another idea (brain is racing!): Place a layer of clear UV or epoxy resin on the bottom & lightly cure it. Make & cure your droplets, turn over, dome/build them up on the flat side & cure, OR turn them over and put chameleon powder on the backs, then... Place into the lightly cured resin, cure it a bit longer, then top with clear epoxy. THAT might look *really* cool and very 3D. ** Yes, you need to cure UV on both sides. 😊👍

[@dandaresin]

Hi Julie. Loving your videos. If moulds are not transparent uv light doesn't penatrate so always leaves a sticky residue.

[@siobhankirk9320]

They're beautiful Julie, I may have to buy some uv resin too 😀💗

[@hayleymariemills]

Julie, you could try laying a small black layer down, put the drops on & set. Then do the chameleon all over the top & then clear. That's how I saw people do it when they were using the soap bubbles on top. Even if the whole base is chameleon, the drops show up 3d & different colors bc of the curvature of the drops & the shiftiness of the chameleon!

[@marnaboomershine8452]

Somebody may have already told you this but UV doesn't like having a solid base under it. That's why it's still sticky they don't tend to cure on the solid colors. But like you said on the video flip it over and cure it on the top it should be fine. They're lovely

[@annagray6491]

UV is great fun but remember to not let any daylight onto the resin as it will start to set! I learnt the hard way … scuz the pun! Lovely results! As an aside, I was sorting out my alcohol inks today and got green ink all over my hand, leaky bottle. At dinner my hubby said, why is your forehead green? 😂😂😂

[@geraldinedunkley8420]

I think they are really pretty 😍

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Shalina....is the lady from Tea and Art . Have a wonderful day Julie.

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

Really beautiful coasters! I just bought my first UV resin kit. The maker strongly recommends using a transparent or translucent mold. Just so you can flip it over if you need to cure the back. Actually, the instructions recommend flipping the mold over to cure the back if you have a deep mold. I have been watching Sherry Moulton making resin jewelry. She doesn't show flipping over, and she is just as detail oriented as you. That's why I watch as many of her videos as I do your resin pours. You both are awesome with sharing your experiments with us. I hope someone else is more helpful than I am. But I know it helps your channel when people comment. Even if it's just to say "I love it", I always try to leave a comment. I don't fib, I haven't seen a video of yours I didn't love.

[@vickieblankenship1484]

You should also watch Steve McDonald

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

@@vickieblankenship1484 I agree about Steve McDonald. I like his cautioning attitude.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Carrying forward with @Courtney Bright 's idea of making the base first... If the glittery UV raindrops were lightly colored with resin DYE (translucent), then cured, *then* covered with *clear* resin, we should be able to see them _as_ droplets. ~~~ the droplets can be cured in several layers so that they are *really* 3D looking. I've done it with UV resin jewelry. ~~~ The droplets can also be cured, painted on the back, then placed on the base with more UV resin to hold in place, then covered with clear resin. Looks pretty darned good, either way! 😊💕 Yes, UV resin can be torched or spritzed w/alcohol. Okay...settling in to watch!

[@michelle_resinrebel]

Hi Julie these look great 😍, how about if you lay down an orange layer first, let that set then come back with black spots then let that set then a clear layer last , hope this helps, thanks for sharing ❤️ xx

[@LisaVornhagen]

Those are so beautiful! I love the pink and gold and the blue and silver! If putting under the UV lamp again doesn't fix the stickiness a top coat of two part resin should definitely fix it. UV resin generally works best in clear molds so the light can get through. I love the marbling that you got on the bottom! It's really pretty!

[@odettehillier3387]

I have a suggestion Julie, what if you mix a drop or two of alcohol ink into your UV resin with the glitters etc then make your droplets on a mirror that has been sprayed with silicone spray and then set with the UV light, that way both sides should be hard. Pour your grey and white normal resin for the base and before it is finished setting up place your droplets onto it and then after another 5 or 10 minutes pour your clear over. You will have the 3D effect of the droplets then and the marble look background. Love this new mold ❣️❤️

[@Made4YouResin]

Alcohol doesn't go well with UV resin

[@bonitagoodwin5086]

Gorgeous

[@carolnovotny627]

❤ I think they're pretty and I like them and I think you have a good idea with doing the mica powders just need to figure out how to do them so that they come out right what you did tonight was beautiful

[@beaswingle9065]

There really nice love them 😮

[@vickieblankenship1484]

You could try doing the rain drops in clear, let them set then paint with chameleon powder, then pour the black on it.

[@Jfletcherart3642]

Beautiful

[@shannacosper7366]

you can run a little light on top of UV resin. The skin is from either some sunlight into your studio or when you were putting the UV light on while you were working. I have not been able to use a UV light in my studio while working on another part. It just starts to cure too quickly

[@ZippedUpKitz]

They are pretty… set them under your uv lamp to finish curing the sticky side… what is the music there at the end of the video? Love that blues song jam !!!

[@saskiajakabfy8232]

The UV resin needs to be on a reflective or clear bottom for the light to shine through and harden /cure it.With the white mould it did not penetrate the light enough to dry/cure it-I learned that the hard way 😂Best if you can cure or get the light from both sides. Great job and beautiful coasters ❤

[@robinpinkham9398]

I really like these!💗

[@funo6581]

They’re really pretty, I love the glitter mix. Maybe to get the 3D water droplets to stand out, try lightly tinting the 2 part epoxy that you’re pouring over them with a transparent alcohol ink in a contrasting color? Could maybe even do another layer with a color shift after that? Or tint the droplets slightly, then pour clear? Alcohol ink will inhibit the cure of UV resin so, it would need to be just a non-alcoholic transparent ink.. learned that the hard way.😆 I watched Tea and Art’s video where she placed water droplets on the back of a frog, a snail and a lizard. It’s a great technique, they turned out wonderful. Can’t wait to see what else you do with it!😊

[@donnawilde9853]

Hiya from the uk , ive done the 3d raindrop method and successfully. I put either a metallic mica powder on top of the raindrops or the lets resin chameleon powders . Then put black coloured resin on top , it comes out fantastic x❤

[@donnawilde9853]

Dont know if im being understandable , brush either a metallic powder or chameleon powder on top of the raindrops and the item , i think you get the results with black in resin over the whole thing ❤

[@TruckingElder]

Having a big of experience with UV resin as it is my preferred resin, you really sure use more translucent molds for it. White or colored molds don't do well since the UV can't get thru it. I usually do a 3 minute cure per layer, then a 5-10 minute cure after my project is done, on all sides that have the UV resin in it (in my case, all sides). This makes sure everything is cured properly. But I am looking forward to you learning more with UV resin.

[@Cajunkaty]

I think they’re so pretty Julie.

[@babujaan18]

Hello i just saw your video and have a suggestion to cure the uv resin at the bottom of the mold. I recently saw a video of the same process of making rain drops with uv resin and the mold was put on a mirror so i guess the uv light reflects and helps cure the resin at the bottom of the mold. I havent tried this but maybe you can give it a shot???

[@elisashue5086]

Gorgeous!!😊

[@Sunshine-n1n]

I never have any ideas but it seems like I have an idea.😮. If you put the same glitter into clear resin and do a top coat on those then you would have the darker spots but also have some of the white covered up with the thin glitter. It wouldn’t be spots but it should be amazingly beautiful 😍

[@MsWendalina]

I’m back again! They may not be what you were hoping for, but I think they’re really cute…especially the pink one! I finished the video and just have another tip for you. If your UV resin isn’t perfectly clear, the UV rays from the lamp cannot penetrate it. Therefore the bottom (the part not showing) will not cure. That’s why they were sticky when you took them out. If you need to use an opaque/semi-opaque color in your UV resin, like in this case, the only work around I know of is to use a clear silicone mold. That way after you put them under the lamp like usual, you can then turn the lamp upside down and cure the bottoms THROUGH the clear silicone. This method would work for coasters but nothing deeper than that. If it’s deeper, then the center of your piece would be uncured.

[@vezhopkins714]

I always shine my UVlight on the top and bottom of my UV resin pieces as if you look at UVR moulds they are usually see-through for light to get all around it and cure it well so it’s not sticky anywhere 😊

[@frontoffice9077]

You could do a thin coat of background color, let it set, then do a different color drop. After they set, do a final thick coat of clear.

[@shirleymoody8449]

They are stunning what ate your moulds called i love the crystal edges also your holo rubber mould sheet whatbis that called im a learner thank you

[@jaquelinepaul7384]

Well I love them❤❤

[@Made4YouResin]

Rain drop affect pour your base colour first let it nearly cure then add your rain drops with UV resin and cure them under the lamp then add a clear top coat so you get a droplet type bubbles

[@fran_ward]

You’ll always get a dispersion layer of uv resin. It’ll come off if you wipe it with alcohol. They are cured. Same thing happens with gel nails. Look beautiful Julie

[@phoebepetersen8436]

Marbelling on the bottom first as the you will only see the underside of the drops..the dots would look amazing with holographic powder in them..covered by clear.

[@Made4YouResin]

For marble affect on both sides mix up your resin colours as normal for the colour you want lines in (the marble colour) use an alcohol ink then pour all of your colours into pot and add a drop or two of silicone oil not alot then put your mixing stick into all the colours and move it around sort of lift it up then put it onto the other side of the cup but don't mix them. Then pour into the mold, the silicone oil helps the ink disperse giving the marble affect

[@donnawilde9853]

Also raindrops are clear so you need to keep the drops clear fir the 3d effect , hope this helps ❤

[@eternalflametarot8992]

I'm so confused and I mean no disrespect BUT, what difference what that make what color they are.

[@elvirtagomez2247]

I also think maybe yours would look more 3D if the background wasn't opaque. Maybe try adding alcohol inks for your background color? Very pretty colors!

[@MsGeorgie68]

Please, if possible stop putting your work down, you can do far more than some of us. ❤️

[@nanapaula1031]

If your interested in using UV resin go look at Sandrarts she is amazing the things she can do with UV resin Love your video as always x

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Okaaaay...this just showed up (for me) 2 days after you posted?!? I kept checking your page...and nothing appeared after the new foils! YT is weird!

[@special9468]

Make your raindrops sparkly and then do the clear over it.

[@1970ADH]

It would be interesting to see the glitter drops with an ink drop background🤔🤔🤔

[@mycookies819]

I probably would have done a very translucent color to match each glitter.

[@traceybeaty9166]

I could not find a spot to email u but ! Is there a video as to how you’ve made your own sea foam mold/sheet? Sorry I could not find it !!!

[@ntyler71]

I have literally 1 question that has been looming for a really long time. HOW do you get the inside edges of your molds so crisp?!?! These maybe not as much as the others usually are lol

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

These have crystal edges

[@jennifermetcalfe906]

Interesting concept, but would love holographic mica powder drops with clear resin, no white or black. Just clear.... But the gold edging saves this...

[@ChildOfTheDarktime]

Every so often you say you wish we could talk to you. Have you ever thought about going Live with KZbin and doing a Stream? It might not work for all of your projects, but for something with UV resin or your paint pours it could. Then chat could talk to you in real time.

[@cynthiaswain4070]

They are pretty. To rid sticky from UV resin, spritz with alcohol.

[@sarahgreen8409]

U can just add colour shift powder straight to the resin, then the clear, then add the drops maybe, and if u had put the glitter all over then the white marble look, they would of looked beautiful that way to, the glitters r just beautiful full stop

[@melissaphillis7247]

They're stunning! Couldn't you just re-lamp them so not sticky?

[@pammcmillan8842]

You have to watch your resin next to the lamp, it can cause it to harden

[@smittyskitty]

I think it needs the be metallic/ chameleon powder over clear drops. Black background.

[@vikkiboo70]

You are suppose to Use rubbing alcohol to take off the sticky layer.

[@Rae_is_Bae]

Animal print.. how bout black alcohol ink in drops to keep it somewhat translucent?

[@Slayer3080]

UV resin hasta be cured from both sides so all you have to do is pop them back underneath the UV light and then the stickiness will go away

[@shoniaray8503]

With UV resin the molds should be clear that’s why the bottom didn’t cure

[@zetastef]

Maybe before making the dots make a clear layer!

[@marilynhansen7881]

I kinda like white blotches... Beautiful regardless

[@Rae_is_Bae]

Dust with mica then it'll be 3d even with an opaque background

[@charmainevandermerwe5868]

I do not like working with UV resin at all. It stays tacking even keeping it longer under the uv lamp

[@charmainevandermerwe5868]

Sorry tacky

[@MrsLisaCrow]

Did this video just fall into a black hole?

[@maverickwitch8954]

It did for me as well! I just found it!

[@mookzmom]

Same!

[@bevjones]

Yeh me too

[@hayleymariemills]

Me too! When I started watching the newest one, she mentioned the 2 attempts & I only remembered watching the leopard print one so I clicked & found this!

[@CarissaMurray]

Marble ,glitter drops, micro powder then clear perhaps with tinge of darker colour but transparent. Matbe that will turn out like yr frog with marble effects. Idk. Just babbling i think. Hahaha

[@sarahgreen8409]

Uv resin is always tacky after, even when u get ur nails done they r tacky, just wipe over them with a bit of isopropyl alcohol, same as nail techs do

[@BilliebirdKatie]

She put the background resin first

[@mandicoleman7433]

Oh yeah heart will set the uv resin too. Ya have to be careful not to set the lil cups too close to the lamp... It will cure it

[@ZippedUpKitz]

UV resin needs to be cured with a transparent mold… the light can’t penetrate through the opaque/colored molds…

[@brendaoneal2097]

I have to say I like the animal print better than these, but they are kinda interesting

[@spectonkular7510]

Hi Wendy! I've done this technique with 'normal' resin and called it my mad cow collection. It works better for not giving you the round outline on the top, but I honestly didn't find it bubbled they way I wanted. However I do have an idea that might work. I will test drive it and let you know! The added silver and gold really give it an added being and brings out the colour of the glitter you used. Thay may not be what you was hoping for but they are still beautiful! Lovely work, thank you for sharing
