Rock Painting - Making Your Rocks Holographic

To buy my vinyl decals, waterslide decals, printable vinyl decals and mandala patterns from my website: rocktasticarts.com/
This is another amazing technique for rock painting - making your rocks holographic using mirror nail powder. You can't keep your eyes off these awesome rocks once they're all done... warning this process is very satisfying and addictive. I saw this process on instagram, #port_arthur_rocks who saw #rockthespot doing this process, check them out, they both do awesome rocks. They used resin, but I don't like using resin unless I absolutely have to, so I tried out different methods until I got to the method I'm using in this video.
This is the powder I bought:
www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06Y...
I think you can find better powders out there, but this was the one I got. I was very excited to try this out, I didn't read the reviews. It still works fine, but I think I will look for another one that works better.
As always, I hope you enjoy the video, and let me know if you have any questions or comments below.

What a unique way to create. I've been painting rocks for years and love it. You took it to another level. Nice 👍💜❤️

[@RocktasticArts]

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it 💕😊

[@lizmchenry3049]

Nicely done ❤

[@SHANGRILAAA333]

Thank you for this great background option !!! I have a bevy of nail powders that I haven't ben using and now I have renewed interest. Friendly tip: use a larger brush to apply sealer, it will reduce the streaking in the powder.

[@RocktasticArts]

Sounds great! I'll try that out next time ... thank you :)

[@lilianshelton4290]

You are amazingly gifted. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!!

[@RocktasticArts]

Aww thank you so much for your kind words 😊

[@susanbartley8741]

Use a fan brush. Works better and quicker.

[@kaymad143]

I love these rocks I am going to try them! :-) Thank you!

[@RocktheSpot]

Thanks for giving a shoutout!

[@RocktasticArts]

My pleasure, thank you for sharing 😊

[@rebeccamercer875]

Your rocks are very beautiful. I like the simple way you show, step by step. However, it would be helpful if you listed your supplies in the description box. I read in the comments about the gloss but what do you cure it with? Thank you.

[@theoriginalkaro]

Very pretty! You could also Mod Podge some pictures or photos on these, or just paint simple images if you wanted to.

[@RocktasticArts]

Thank you... Yes you could... I like to cut out holographic vinyl on my cricut and stick it on, especially mandalas 😍... thank you for watching.

[@Sharperthanu1]

I might try this with mica powder.

[@RocktasticArts]

Make up and nail powder is actually made up of mica powder so it should work well 😊

[@uldenecrosby3552]

Would look get dotting on these ty

[@RocktasticArts]

Yes, agreed... I just didn’t want to complicate the video and do it in the same video... thanks for watching :)

[@rhondad6802]

Wow! Your painted rocks are crazy awesome. I wonder how much it will cost for me to get all the materials? I don’t have an artist talent but maybe I if I use the same products you do and follow them step by step. By the way, your nails look beautiful!

[@RocktasticArts]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I will list links to the products I used in the video description so you can buy the same products I used, then you can recreate the exact one. Please check back in a week, I should have it updated by then. Thanks again 💕

[@denisekatsabanis2590]

This is a great idea thank you! Did you use triple gloss?

[@RocktasticArts]

You’re very welcome… I actually don’t like triple thick, I can’t even remember why I didn’t like it, it was so long ago that I tried it… I always use Decoart Gloss Varnish, you can see what the bottle looks like at 4:41 minutes of this video… hope that helps 💕

[@c.catlover4080]

Hello, I know it has been some time since you did this video (thank you for it). If you see this message, can you tell me what kind of turn table or lazy susan you are using to put the rock on top of when you are painting it? Thank you. (8/2023)

[@kimcondas]

I ordered some Primary Elements powder from ColourArte, hope it will work as well as the nail powder, which isn’t sold in the States. Love this look!

[@RocktasticArts]

I’m sure it’s sold in the states, maybe not the type I used... search for nail mirror powder... also let me know how does the powder you ordered works please... thanks for watching

[@debh94066]

Look into “Hippo micro glitter”

[@RocktasticArts]

Ok, thanks for the info... I will :)

[@cyhomer]

..amazon....

[@Sharperthanu1]

I'm wondering where you got the heart shaped rock.

[@RocktasticArts]

I made it using gypsum a mold from the Happy Dotting Company on Etsy, I have a video on how to make a mold of your favourite rock, and I show in that video how to make your own rock… thanks for watching 😊

[@cyhomer]

Where did you get the nice round rocks?

[@RocktasticArts]

+Cathy holmes I make them using gypsum, and a mold. This particular mold is from Etsy - Happy dotting company. You can also make your own molds, here’s a link to a video I did about it: Make a mold of your favourite rock | Ep 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWG3ZYymlK6CbpI

[@debh94066]

Could you mix all the powders at once and get the same look?

[@RocktasticArts]

I haven’t tried it, but I think you would get a mixture of all the colours so you won’t be able to see the purple, green or blue but it will all be a mixture of all these colours.

[@chanis.blossom]

What the second thing did you put after black paint plz?

[@chanis.blossom]

I mean what is the gloss?is it a glue?

[@RocktasticArts]

It’s a gloss called duraclear gloss varnish, it helps the powder stick to the rock. Thanks for watching.

[@chanis.blossom]

@@RocktasticArts thank you .. i love your work it s amazing I m learning from you ..

[@RocktasticArts]

Thank you so much for your kindness, I’m so happy to hear that 💕

[@maxwellsmartsgirlfriend2216]

Where do you get your perfectly shaped rocks? 😊 Thanks

[@RocktasticArts]

I make them using molds. You can check out how I do them in my second video that I made on this channel so you have to go back quite a bit :)

[@HotSeat17]

The powder is not available on amazon. 😟

[@RocktasticArts]

Sorry, they keep changing their links... search for color changing nail powder.

[@saraakridge2511]

I'm wondering if I could use a body glitter/shimmer in this way... hmmm gonna try!! Lol

[@RocktasticArts]

Ooo sounds interesting... I’d like to know too ... let me know once you’ve tried it please :)

[@ilovecanines]

Do you mean iridescent instead of holographic?

[@RocktasticArts]

Well to be totally and exactly correct, it’s actually duochrome :)

[@Jodysfunstuff]

Looks like metallic paint would give a similar result, pretty.

[@RocktasticArts]

Thank you... metallic paint will be very similar but it’s not going to as holographic and as shiny... even color shift paint doesn’t do it like this... it’s more like unicorn spit with out the price tag 😊

[@Lyn4817]

@@RocktasticArts Your paint resources must be very limited if these are your only comments.

[@knot.offended44]

That's multichrome not holographic

[@anjiid8522]

Wow! Lyn R, Creative fantasyk, Whats with the bitchy comments? Rocktastic has taken time out of day to show us something different. I cant wait to get some of this stuff to have some 'holographic' - 'metallic' - 'very like unicorn spit' whatever rocks, they're look pretty awesome. If you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all.

[@Jodysfunstuff]

@@RocktasticArts so an update to my original comment from 1 yr ago. I have recently purchased nail powders and love the hologram and several others. As I said it Is very pretty, I like use it under transparent foils. Very cool.

[@sobelean12]

What gloss are you using after you paint The Rock black and then what are you using after it dries after you put on the powderwhat are those two things that are using thank you very much you can't buy that nail powder on Amazon anymore not that particular one and does it need to bethank you so much enjoyed watching this I want to try it outwhen I figure out all the supplies that I need thank you so much God bless you stay healthy and safe by the way my name is Tina I share my Facebook with my husband Bill thanks

[@RocktasticArts]

I used duraclear gloss in both times, it dissolves the powder and makes the rocks glossy

[@sobelean12]

@@RocktasticArts thank you so much would any brand do what does it mean to be this brand there is a different brand it's a little bit cheaper so I was wondering if any brand would do since I don't know what I'm doing but I really want to try it out I'm trying to find the nail powder and then with the gloss the cost of these rocks is going up and up LOL but I want to try their beautiful
