[@randinicely1857]

Diamonds and Dust I ended up making one yesterday 😂 not as good as yours but it’s decent.

[@DiamondsandDust]

I’m sure it’s beautiful!

[@melissaellison397]

Beautiful cup... never thought about using polyorlic instead of epoxy for micas... great idea... 😀... looking forward to more videos cause I just liked and subscribed ..

[@DiamondsandDust]

Thank you so much! Polycrylic and micas is my new favorite obsession!

[@tinawood5926]

You make that look soo easy! ❤️ I was looking for a way to do a teal cup and I absolutely love this cup!!! I’m gonna give it a try. Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. I have similar colors..hopefully it will look at least half as good. I LOVE this tumbler!!!

[@DiamondsandDust]

Thank you so much!!! I’m sure you’ll do great!

[@tinawood5926]

I’m in the final steps of my tumbler now..I actually did it with fairy lights. My colors are darker than yours and not as smooth flowing but I think it is beautiful. I’m tickled with it. And with practice I might get it as pretty as yours one day. Thank you again for sharing!

[@DiamondsandDust]

I’m sure it t looks great!

[@kimberlyetheridge8610]

MN mmmhmmm mi IP

[@priscillaabrego44]

This cup is absolutely beautiful 😍! I can’t wait to make one. You are amazing and your channel is so inspiring!!! Can you please show me how to make the new cups that have the whip cream on the top (light weight spackle) and then brown resin drizzled on top to look like chocolate. I have tried several times but my spackle seems like it will break off and flimsy. I know I am doing something wrong but I can’t figure it out. Thanks!!!

[@DiamondsandDust]

Thanks hun!

[@michelledrake2295]

Great tutorial - just what I was looking for, thank you. I cannot see that beautiful glitter on your Etsy page. Will you be bringing it back ?

[@DiamondsandDust]

Thank you! Yes it will be coming back! This video just made it sell out quick. 😄

[@alyssadouthitt1048]

So pretty!!! What kind of acetone do you use? I hear "hardware" often...?!?

[@DiamondsandDust]

I just use pure acetone.

[@blasun24]

Do you sand your glitter after the first coat of epoxy to smooth it? Or just got straight to spray paint? I used a chunky glitter and I flattened it but still has some rough spots. Thanks!

[@DiamondsandDust]

Coat until smooth

[@rebeccarhea4070]

What do you do to get the Minwax to thicken up? I have Made sure that I have the same one but it’s still so runny I can’t apply it

[@DiamondsandDust]

Mine is really runny also, it should still produce the same results.

[@makimitchell9577]

Okay I love this and followed your tutorial but I’ve got a couple dull spots where I rubbed off the paint and the glitter shows! Any tips?

[@DiamondsandDust]

Yes. Take some rubbing alcohol and some elbow grease to get the residue off.

[@rockstar120410]

After you do your coat of epoxy over the glitter, how long do you need to let the epoxy dry before you spray paint it?

[@DiamondsandDust]

You need to wait until it’s dry to the touch and not sticky

[@jenniepoe9832]

Did you seal the glitter and then epoxy again BEFORE you spray painted the brown and turquoise paints?

[@DiamondsandDust]

Yes! Epoxy over glitter, let cure then spray paint over the top of cured epoxy

[@gloriaalfstad6953]

After the paint dries, how long do you have to expose the glitter? Can it wait a few days if you don't get back to it right away?

[@DiamondsandDust]

You can. But it’s much harder to remove the paint

[@aliciat2216]

I LOVE THIS!!!! Amazing job!!! Now I want to try this. Have you ever done this same technique using any other colors? Just wondering.

[@DiamondsandDust]

Thank you so much. I have not tried any other colors, but I think it would be fun to experiment!

[@karissakoger1404]

Absolutely gorgeous! Does the acetone not ruin your manicure, though?!

[@DiamondsandDust]

Thank you. I use gel polish on my nails, it sometimes comes off on the edges, but not like regular polish would.

[@wendylamb8645]

I wonder if I could replace chalk paint for your mint spray paint? It should be okay under the resin, right?

[@DiamondsandDust]

I sure it would be just fine.

[@wendylamb8645]

I tried the chalk paint and it worked great!

[@mrswahl219]

Will the ancient Egypt glitter be back in stock soon? I'm building an order and I want to include it!

[@DiamondsandDust]

Hey there! Yes it will be back in stock sometime this week! ❤️

[@krystalroberts7467]

What can you use besides polycrylic to put on the micas?

[@DiamondsandDust]

Polycrylic produces the best result for me. But your more than welcome to try other things

[@susiewinger9111]

Did you epoxy the glitter before painting or was it just cured from putting epoxy on to glitter

[@DiamondsandDust]

You’ll need to Epoxy over the glitter before spray paint.

[@ktroupe91]

Did you clear seal the glitter before epoxy?

[@ruddog08]

What finish of the polycrylic do you like to use?

[@DiamondsandDust]

Usually gloss. But I have also used a satin finish.

[@lisamccain6763]

Do you epoxy until smooth before you spray paint your 2 colors

[@DiamondsandDust]

Yes, It’s best to have Smooth surface.

[@breastimplantvictimadvocac7809]

Do you sand the epoxy after glitter before Spray painting?

[@DiamondsandDust]

No you want it smooth

[@heathermitchell5097]

Could I use acrylic paint instead of mica and polycrylic?

[@rachpreach]

I bet you could. They make metallic acrylic paint. Just might not hold up as well when using the acetone to wipe the other areas.

[@scagle2814]

Is Ancient Egypt no longer available?? I'm not seeing it on the site.

[@DiamondsandDust]

It’s currently out of stock, but more should be up on the site later this week

[@amandaguadarrama1184]

What kind of acetone did you use? Is there a link?

[@DiamondsandDust]

No I don’t have a link. It’s just pure acetone

[@wendysmith1230]

Do you seal the cup before you epoxy?

[@DiamondsandDust]

No I just epoxy right over the paint/mica

[@kristondapryor3377]

Is the Ancient Egypt glitter no longer available? I don’t see it in the Etsy shop 🙁

[@DiamondsandDust]

Hey there. Sorry about that. It is now available, I just needed to update my site. ❤️

[@kristondapryor3377]

@@DiamondsandDust Awesome, thank you!

[@jessicagarza8371]

Do you seal it before you epoxy?

[@DiamondsandDust]

No I do not

[@tanyas4boys]

I can’t find that glitter on your Etsy site

[@DiamondsandDust]

Sorry about that. It should be there now.

[@juliasolano299]

What is the color name of that paint spray...brand?

[@DiamondsandDust]

It was a rustoleum brand. I’m not sure on the color. But any light turquoise will work just fine.

[@GGscrafts]

Could u use alcohol inks instead of micas

[@DiamondsandDust]

Micas give it a shimmer that alcohol inks won’t. If you only wanted dark spots then yes.

[@GGscrafts]

Ok , thank you 😊

[@gabrielachavarin2939]

Is Polycrylic like epoxy?

[@DiamondsandDust]

No it’s not, it’s just a clear topcoat

[@laurenwilson7609]

What was the name of the base brown color? :)

[@DiamondsandDust]

I don’t have that color anymore on hand, but just a dark brown color will work fine

[@ashleymullins3415]

Do you no longer sell this color?

[@DiamondsandDust]

I just added a few to the shop 😀

[@jazzy7876]

Do u wear masks when working with epoxy ???

[@DiamondsandDust]

I don’t in my videos so you guys can hear me. But yes you should

[@makingMyHouseaHome412]

I don't understand why you loaded it with cianz

[@DiamondsandDust]

Because that’s the style of the cup.

[@Mom2TaylorNKate]

@@makingMyHouseaHome412 That's the whole point. It's a distressed tumbler and this artist did a flawless job.

[@staceyallen4970]

For one- it’s the style of the design and it’s beautiful! For two- that’s rude to even comment on someone’s video tutorial. Especially on such a beautiful cup/design.

[@makingMyHouseaHome412]

My question is why put the glitter on? As a newbie, I don't understand the need for a coat of glitter that in the end is covered up. I completely agree that this cup is beautiful and done well. I'm just wondering and wondering does not make me rude

[@DiamondsandDust]

Thank you for clarifying your question. So this cup design only some parts of the glitter is to be showing, so the paint covers the glitter, but as you remove the paint the glitter in parts is exposed.
