I LOVE making nail polish jewelry! One thing I've picked up is to use blue tac (the putty stuff people use to put up posters and that) and fix it on a board or table while working so you don't end up with as much nail polish on your hands and make it less likely that it'll move on you. And if you mess up and you're using glass cabochons, you can grab some nail polish remover and clean it up.
I prefer to use UV resin instead of the two part kind when doing projects like this. It dries within minutes with no air bubbles. I got my UV resin and small light from Amazon a while back, but Michael's carries a lot of UV resin jewelry supplies now. But nail polish and glass cabochons are how I first started learning how to make jewelry. Fun stuff!
For the 3 that keep leaking, I usually have a small box to use as a raised platform and let the loops hang off the edge, keeping the frame flat. I also personally use a thin uv resin layer first, then paint it with polish, then finish the top with another uv resin layer. I love doing mini pieces of art! 👍
Love your enthusiasm! Its great! I am dying laughing, glad I'm not the only one that has this luck with experimenting! Lol 😅 I just stumbled across your channel. It's my first time watching. Love it. Your attitude is wonderful.
I enjoy your videos...I am the type of person to try new things because I am afraid of failure...you have shown me not to be afraid of failure..but to go with it I am not saying you have failed at any of your projects.but you are not afraid to try and experiment ..and if they do not work out you just go with things and have fun with it
You can also drop it in water, swirl it around and dip the cab onto the top of the color and it will adhear. While holding the cab though; you have to run a toothpick around it so you don't pick up too much. Let it dry and voila, you have a piece of marbled glass.
They look cool and Ive considered doing that but was a bit worried as to how it would come up - my fear of ruining stuff is my big issue, but Im learning to let loose thanks to you and your videos. If you get your finger prints on them on the inside that could be cool to leave the neices and nephew, or if you do anything naughty lol . E6000 works reasonably well and you can get those little already cut little mirrors - if they look dull its because they have a protective coating on them .... with the leakage because of the way the little hangers sit - maybe sit them all on a bit of that florist foam and push them into that? it should make them sit level :D
This is just fantastic. I think I would enjoy doing this. Thanks Matt for always bringing something new and exciting to us. Do you have to coat the back with anything after you're finished or is the nail polish enough? Just worried about it scratching off.
I'm thinking UV resin & Gel Nail polish or Thick Builder Gel for gel nail extensions is very similar to eachother. I can't wait to make my first piece! 💜love your work, Thanks
This is a really interesting project... but I'm not too sure how well they are going to last... Nail polish isn't permanent. It yellows with age, and any alcohol, or acetone/acetate cleaners (including jewelry cleaners) will destroy the nail polish. It does look like a fun project though!
Please for the love of dog, get some thick plastic and cover your table and use enough to tuck under and tape to underside of table with painters tape. And alot of times isopropyl alcohol will remove wet nail polish and other paints from the table and sometimes even the dried paint. Acetone works but I couldn't use it on mine as it lifted off the top finish. But plasticing your table is 100 percent beneficial!!!!! You remind me of me....bull in a china shop the first time of anything and then you learn how to prevent what you did the first time.
This is fun, but be aware that the clear polish can turn very yellow over time. That being said, enjoy what you're doing- experimenting keeps life interesting! 😁
Matt, you are clumsier then me 😂🎉 you are much fun to watch and listen to 😅😊
Those butterflies would also look awesome wire wrapped to gem stones. Thanks for inviting us to watch you create more jewelry.

I make painted galaxy cabochons from clear glass cabochon too!! With nail polish from the dollar store.

Catch up with Matt's Crazy Art. Live auctions on WED FRI SUN AT 7 pm EST
Those butterflies would be awesome earrings!
Also. Those little dots look like flowers- add some green and it’s a beautiful garden
I love how you made the comment about mixing polish. 😊

You could always use a straw and blow the colors in the base
Or an eyedropper. I wouldn't trust Matt with a straw, he might breathe in too much...yuk.
@Alessandro Elijah your right, i don't give a shit. Try posting your garbage elsewhere as this isn't the place for it
Thanks for being willing to show us your trials and errors. I enjoy your commentary with the video 😊

😂 my gosh… I needed that laugh when you started singing , makes me think of that movie, Muriel’s Wedding
Omg, the synchronicity- I spent hours yesterday singing Dancing Queen! So funny!
Now I know what to do with my large collection of partially used nail polish from the past 10 to 20 years! ✨🌟✨
You are soooo entertaining and a mad scientist!
thats really neat i have some epoxy and glitter, might try this
Matt , you are hilarious!
I love it !

Wow Matt this is awesome.
You could start with a thin layer of UV resin and then use nail polish.
also works good with fimo clay, and idd epoxy, bud sinds it's small amount i like to use uv resin for it.
These are beautiful! Thank you!

I'd love to get some of those butterflies. Can you give us a link ?
Love your videos ❤
WHAT FUN! LOVE IT!!!
I might try it with little glass pieces I got from the dollar store. And/or make cabs with 2 part epoxy.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
you are amazing artist 🙌
Hugs Amigo 👌😁

I don’t think I will be trying any cabochons, but good job.

Can you check the link to the butterflies? It doesn't seem to pull up anything. Thanks Matt
We'd be happy to do your nails for you.
This looks like a great crafting project for a girl's party. That is if anyone is having parties these days.
i am laughing so hard im gonna pee my pants

Favorite part of the video is when Matt gets nailpolish on himself and goes ewwww...LOL

Is there something else that won't yellow?
@@user-pd7il3xz5j I'm honestly not sure... I just know that clear nail polish can yellow fairly intensely.
@@LaynieFingers Thanks for answering my question. Clear polyurethane also adds a tint of yellow.
@@user-pd7il3xz5j You're welcome! I love sharing information when I can. There's room for all of us in this world! 💜
Matt you sound like you're making out with someone hahahahaha
Next time get a high school cosmetology student to help🙄😆
😅😅😅😅😅😅
