What Happens When You Use Nail Polish On Silicon Resin Moulds…

  • I try two different methods of using nail polish on resin. The first is to see if you can paint the nail polish on the cured resin and the second one tests whether you can paint the nail polish on the silicone mould pour the resin and then let it cure. Can you guess what happens to the nail polish that has been painted onto the silicone mould? Be sure to check out the other video I made a year or so ago on using nail polish with resin: • Can You Make RESIN ART...

    I think the lizard with the nail varnish that you painted into the silicon mould came out far nicer. The colours were deeper, but not just that, they were also tidier I think. All the lizards came out well but my personal favourite was the white one that you painted the nail varnish into the mould. I think it is gorgeous and that is a very cheap way to use up old nail varnish. What a clever idea Steve. God bless you and all those you love. Have a great day!

    Painting the mold before pouring makes the colors much more vibrant! Definitely a fan. I love all your videos!

    Painting in the mold definitely prevents loosing some of the 3D details, since nailpolish can build up a bit, especially if you use brighter colours and need more coats. Painting inside the mold also lets the polish pool inside the details and not run off of them like it happened with the painting on resin method (you can see it on the blue arrows on the lizards back).
    However, I think you can skip using the resin curer to get the polish to dry properly. Just paint the polish on thinner will help. You'll probably not need more than two thin coats (three if it is a brighter colour) and by the time you are done with the mold the first spots should be dried enough to put on the second coat. To check wether it is ready for the next coat, just tap it with your finger (skin contact is totally okay, since that stuff is made to wear on your body anyways, not protective gear needed like with uncured resin) and if it is dry to the touch and doesn't feel sticky anymore, it is ready.

    I like the one where you used the nail polish before pouring the resin. I agree the colors are so much more vibrant than using the polish afterwards. 🙂

    • @ChibiChula
      @ChibiChula Рік тому

      Might be interesting to paint nail polish into small thin molds and then use the dried paint as nail art since it should peel out of the silicone easily and still be flexible without resin backing it....

    I’ve got this mold and I’ve used the feathering technique, the Petri dish effect and piped the white similar to the 3D blooms and the results were fantastic. I’ve also used mica powders but they weren’t as nice so I might have to try the nail polish. Great results by the way.

    I love the black one & the one next to it which I think was the one where you painted the mould with nail varnish, allowed it to fully dry before pouring the resin on top. The one on the far right looks good, but it doesn’t seem to have the cleaner finish to it. Another great video Steve. I look forward to giving this a try myself

    • @Call-me-Al
      @Call-me-Al Рік тому +3

      If you are worried about staining, then use a clear coat first (let it dry thoroughly) before applying the color polish. It works the same way on nails: staining of nails can be avoided by a good protective coat before applying any color.
