[@dianeh2420]

You need to add a "REMIND ME" button!!

[@daniel..cooper]

@@dianeh2420 It doesn't give me an option for that?

[@dianeh2420]

@@daniel..cooper I think it says "NOTIFY ME" on our end. I see a few others use it to keep us posted on their next videos, but i have no idea how iut works on your end... Thought it might be helpful to members to remind them..

[@Woekkie]

From the world of nailart i would like to hint you to multichromes and Unicorn powder.

[@Soleylou]

As a nail tech & someone getting to grips with resin, I can tell you that you’ll get a better hold if you don’t run the powder to the absolute edges 😉 Also, get some angel paper, cut it slightly smaller than the mold & make that your middle layer, it looks amazing 🤩 One more tip, if you find that your powder isn’t sticking as much as you’d like, slightly undercure the resin so it’s a tiny bit sticky then apply the powder. Finish off the curing after. Hope all this helps 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Awesome tips, thanks Louise 😊 👍 Will order in some more bits soon 😊😊

[@Soleylou]

@@daniel..cooper no worries. Naio nails do a selection of 8 or 10 angel papers for about £10 I think. I’ve got some & it’s good quality. You could also use UV gel top coat in between layers so that it’s really thin, you’ve got more control & won’t ‘poke it with your tool’ 🤣🤣

[@dianestanley3304]

​@@daniel..cooper I'm sorry, but I didn't catch what kind of powder you are using to make these. 😍❤️😍

Love those resin pieces

[@rubylouh7849]

I like and use this technique on my earrings and pendants. There are dozens of Chinese YT channels showing this, they use many of the gel nail accessories, powders, varnish and gems. I used to use my powders while embossing but all of them work brilliantly on and in resin. With many of these powders, especially the nail ones, you can brush them straight onto your mould then pour the resin in, depends on the look you're after.

[@daniel..cooper]

Cool, I hadn't seen any like this. I did try brushing the mold but the effect was nothing like this and very matte when demolding 😔

[@maddieadams75]

I think you may get this with interference mica powders also. Worth a try if you don’t have exactly what he does. This is a beautiful look

[@daniel..cooper]

Worth a try 😊😊😊

[@debrajol3585]

Brilliant! How cool is that?! Daniel I’ve done something similar to this but I put tidbits/triangles or whatever tiny shapes into it using deli paper. I coated it with a thin resin layer and then put the chameleon powders on then another resin layer. After I had an assortment I cut up pieces ✂️ of the treated deli paper and placed them into the resin inside the molds. The deli paper becomes invisible and what is left looks like is floating flashes of colored lights. Also made some deli paper with just resin that had pigment pastes as colorants.. same thing happened, the papers were invisible and the colors could be added to anything (molds, canvases etc) in any shapes or strips.. even all the tiny trash cutoffs are usable so nothing is wasted. Sometimes when I am just winging it with a project and I get lost in where I was heading, I’ll pull out the deli papers I’ve created & finish with those. Also, interference colors with a black background on deli paper is really cool. Especially when it’s single colors and they’re placed along with other colors in the same pendant or molds. Like one interference violet and one blue paper bits or red with gold bits. Looks like opal but better bc it’s not limited by nature 👌. Thanks for sharing.. these are pretty incredible 🤩. (I got the deli paper from the donut section of the grocery store. I asked the lady if I could grab a few if I paid for a donut 😂

[@daniel..cooper]

Oh wow, I will try this! Can you send me a pic somehow, maybe on Insta and I will see, it's sounds amazing and would love to try this! Thank you 😊

[@debrajol3585]

@@daniel..cooper it’s been a few years ago. I gave most of them as gifts and some went in a box of my resin creations for someday. I save all the runoff from canvases and everything to use later. But it’s so simple. Use the deli papers like it’s a canvas. Resin - color/powder - resin. If it’s just pigment paste or whatever plain color I just painted it on and that was it. I used 2 part resin bc UV wasn’t a thing yet. But UV will be the same without the wait. You’ll see the moment the resin hits the paper it goes invisible. ~I forgot to mention to do it on plastic sheeting (I used canvases I hadn’t unwrapped yet or the wrap after I used the canvas) or silicone mats bc it soaks in the papers.. but pops off after it cures. It’s so much fun bc it’s endless. If I can find them I’ll send you pics 👌 also the smaller (let’s resin) skull molds were fantastic.. they sell a set that is skulls and aliens that make amazing pendants. Happy Arting!

[@daniel..cooper]

Awesome my kind of "gem stone"

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@karenneill9109]

If you cut Mylar up, use the right colours of aurora powder, it looks just like opal. Oh, and you’ll need to leave a larger ‘layer’ in the back, coat the sides to cover up any layer effect if there is any. If you want black opal, but a dark grey/blue layer on the back- just like in nature.

[@daniel..cooper]

I tried this today 😊 video coming soon 😊😊

[@tanyacollins9003]

@KARENNEILL9109 Can you explain more about what you mean to “leave a larger layer in the back, and to coat the sides? How do I do that?

[@karenneill9109]

@@tanyacollins9003 If you use Mylar sheets, you’ll have to put resin on top of it (it will end up on the back of the piece). Otherwise it will stick out, peel off, and generally look horrible. As for a coat on the sides, simply brush a coat around the edges after you’re finished. If the piece doesn’t have a defined ‘side’, you’d maybe have to put another dome coat over the whole thing so that the edges aren’t visibly layered. Does that make sense?
