This was interesting. Tip....use a balloon and blow it up, inside the cup and hold it closed. Then dip your vessel into your colors. The inflated balloon will hold the cup tight and allow you to immerse straight in.
The water bubbles are because you have 2 layers of polish. When you dip something use a Q-tip to clear away the left over polish all around it BEFORE you lift it out of the water. ( I used to do this on nails often.) Use the smallest water container to fit your project. Time not on your side so have all bottles open and ready to go. Also use distilled or bottle water for better adhesion.
I see others have addressed the foodsafe issue. This is such a great idea and I was super excited to see you’d dipped on an angle, which wasn’t going to require Mod Podge over the “sipping” area. These are darling and I think able to be modified to address foodsafe concerns. Thanks for sharing!!

For some reason I am always appalled at the negative, hurtful comments that can't come from anywhere but a very angry, spiteful, mean spirited person. A lot of people who do these videos are learning as well as being nice enough to take their time to make a video for the benefit of other people. Why some people find it necessary to spend their time watching a free video, that was neither forced or a requirement, and then to find it necessary to deliberately try to tear the person down, I will just never understand. I just don't get mean people. There is something broken in you that causes you to be so angry that you have to lash out at someone who has not harmed you in any way. Please look inside your self and find what or who it is that you are so angry about and get that sorted out. It doesn't profit you at all to try to hurt someone else, as a matter of fact it causes you more problems and harms the person you are directing your negative, uncalled for comments toward . Just in case your mama never told you -" if you can't say something nice, don't say anything". Believe me, you would be a much better person and you might find other people might like you better.
@@Maplesinvests ahhh, thank you, but you are actually very kind and respectful. It was so sweet of you to make this video. It actually makes me angry that people can be so cruel and mean for absolutely no reason. Every place I saw that someone who did give you a suggestion(in a nice. Appropriate way), you responded in a very respectful way with a very humble attitude. That, sweet lady, made me have a lot of respect for you...And I guess my "alligator mama" side comes out when people are mean for no reason. I'm an ol grandma but even when I was in school, I would take up for someone that was being bullied. I still cannot stand it!
Rea I completely agree with u! I always wonder why the hell someone watches a video that their obviously not interested in in the 1st place! Only to then be nasty. 😡
Couldn't of said it better myself and I LOVE your cups too! Honestly! This video has definitely inspired me to look for my nail polish just to try this. As for any hateful comments, you know you've made a successful video when you get haters. Lol Congratulations! Just ignore them completely and treat them for what they are, dismissible, ridiculous and probably written by a 12 year old. 😉 Don't stop recording video's! You made them to inspire people and that's exactly what they're doing. Be You-tiful 💙
I am a professional artist with many talents but I've never seen this done. This looks really cool. Thanks for showing this video. Your work looks great.

if you use epoxy resin it will be dishwasher safe and heat safe also you can dry it in the oven at 200 degrees for sbout 10 mins, with epoxy al need is a thin coat and let it dry for 24 hours and you will get a beautiful shine cup
@@ameredith9536 epoxy resin I think they are like hard clear plastic in liquid form, like you seen in restaurants the tables where you see pictures or ads and hard clear plastic on top of the tables.
@@ameredith9536 Epoxy resin is thick liquid that comes in two bottles, one the resin, the other is the hardener. You mix together for your clear coating projects. I tore down an old kitchen table I'd had for years, turned it into a bathroom sink stand with shelving underneath. The top, I put down sticky tiles, put an edge around the top, then filled in with epoxy resin. Acrylic pouring artists use it to seal their cabochons made from leftover acrylic drippings from their paintings.
Really cute! Tip: for the glittery look you want, try adding glitter to the mod podge or shake a fine glitter dust on the cup while still wet. Seal with a final coat of mod podge
I’m sure you can. I’ve never tried and I’m not sure about hot drinks with the resin but you can always experiment and see what happens. Let me know how it goes ❤️
Also I love this she chose its way better than other music I have heard. You did a great job! You voice is relaxing and fun. You made the diy way cute!
My 5 year old daughter watched this and was absolutely enamored by this. Anything rainbow is awesome as she says. Definitely a cool take on hydrodipping with household materials.
This is such a cute idea. I LOVE those colors, especially the 1st one! Thank you. I hollered when you said, "...and no, I'm not making you one!" 😂😂😂 I have some ideas from this video. Thanks girl! Now, what I would do is put painter's tape around the rim and that would give it a clean edge plus keep the chemicals from making contact with my lips.
That's a great idea! I have a list of things I need to do on my next mug dip. Probably will be doing a Thanksgiving dip and definitely a Christmas one. Hope your mug turns out amazing!!!
I used to do this type of craft work many years ago I used to use new white t shirts wooden brushes and what ever else I could use it came in handy for making Christmas gifts or birthday presents they were the number one seller each time I had a stall
I have read all the comments on this page and I'm astounded at the rudeness of some of these people who have wrote comments. This lovely lady has bothered to come on here to try out a project and share it with others. Yet what does she get, people saying it's trash and sloppy, insults about her voice and the music in the background, and people saying her video is boring ect, ect. Firstly why did you watch the video if it bored you, that doesn't make any sense to me at all. As for all the rudeness and pettiness, well I think some people need to get a life and seriously have a think about why they feel the need to be so nasty to others for no reason. This lovely lady chose to let us watch her do a fun project which I thought was great and something I'd like to try myself. Mostly she got lots of great tips and tricks on how to maybe improve the craft the next time she did it. Yet there's always a few in the crowd that like to act like kids and pull people down and be nasty. Why don't you just stop watching if you don't like the video? No one was forcing you to watch it , and it certainly wasn't something you needed to make derogatory comments about. If you haven't got anything nice to say, or good suggestions to offer then just don't say anything . There is nothing about this video that would cause offense to you or anyone, so instead of writing nasty comments, go away and put some effort into thinking why you are acting this way, and sort yourself out, and do us all a favour and go away, and come back when you've grown up...
I am deaf. So people who leave bad comments about her voice , please turn off sounds and read closed caption instead. It is a good video here showing us how to do the mugs. A+A+A+A+
Take a broomstick handle and cut it to where it's about 12 in Long and take a 6 inch piece of noodle from a pool and Slide the broomstick in the hole and glue it in place. Then you can take the noodle and stick it into the coffee mug which will hold it from the inside and then you can dip the coffee cup without even touching the coffee cup
Good afternoon, thank you for sharing your very well thoughtout art project. I have a question for you what type of Mod Podge do you use to seal your art projects. I’m going to try and make a couple coffee mugs to give my wife for Valentine’s Day. Thanks again for sharing your arts & craft project. Respectfully Peter
I use the dishwasher safe modpodge. The label color is blue/teal color. You can find it at any craft store. That's very sweet of you!! I'm sure she will love it!!
i have hunted everywhere for what to put over the nail polish so it wont come off, i ended up giving up a year ago and today i ran across your channel. thank you. i loved this they are beautiful and i cant wait to finally get those boring white cups done that are sitting in my cupboard.
That's great!! I'm glad you found this. Mod podge works really well but someone had left a comment too about acrylic spray that you could use as well. I haven't tried that method yet. I plan on it soon. I hope your cups turn out amazing!!! 💖
This is a cool idea, but I would not recommend putting the nail polish or mod podge near the rim of the mug or on the inside. These are not food safe and shouldn't be anywhere that touches food or your mouth.
@@ohcaptainmycaptain4829 Well, as a ceramic artist, I can tell you. It is a clear food-safe glaze that is fired on. 😉 Also, dogs' mouths are not full of chemicals. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD (ie. letting a dog lick inside your mouth)
Angie B as a ceramic artist could you please tell me how to achieve a gold foil colour cup handle? I’m trying to get a high mirror type finish. Can’t seem to find info anywhere online. Many thanks
@@NatalineDaycreator1 Sure :) If you have access to a kiln, you could apply some gold luster. It will give it a beautiful highly reflective finish. Don't be fooled when you first apply it though. It will not look shiny or gold until it is fired.
It took me years to work out someone who was so hurtful nasty mean cruel negative towards me and sadly that was one of my sisters not a stranger until someone very wise said “Patricia you can’t make sense of madness” omg it opened me up to heaps and helped me understand her makeup. Hope this helps oh and thanks for sharing your talent with us.
All of these negative or "I can do it better" comments. I ❤️❤️❤️loved❤️❤️❤️ the video. You keep making more. Most of the these people eat roach turds and didn't know it. If nail polish was soooooooooo bad, the hospitals would be flooded with nail polish poison not Alcohol poisoning.. Keep up the awesome work❤️❤️❤️.Keep using nail polish in crafts.... Practice practice practice.
Try it with an acrylic finish. Clear top coat that you use to seal your nails with after a good manicure. Trust me, Modpodge will not make you happy in the long run. It reacts to heat and moisture. It's just like school using school glue it will turn milky white once hot water gets on it.. A hot cup of coffee will leave rings on what ever you set it on. The heat melts it and it will stick to stuff you sit it on. Again it's like Elmer's Glue. It dries clear but reverts back to gummy glue once it's wet for a few minutes.
Yes I've hydro dipped with spray paints and acrylics. You just have to put a little in a cup and cut with an equal amount of water so it doesn't sink to the bottom. (only the acrylic has to be diluted not the spray paint). Dollar stores have little mini Solo cups that are great for mixing each color with water before pouring each in
The excess nailpolish usually sticks to the bag itself. I pick the whole bag up and usually put a pin in it so the water drains slowly out so I can catch as much nailpolish as possible in the bag. I usually do this in my backyard over this area of rocks I have so it doesn't go down the sink. It ends up mostly in the plastic bag and whatever happens to be in the water ends up on my rocks in the backyard. I don't know if this helps but that's how I do it 😊 Happy crafting 🥰
I like how your mug turned out as well. I tried this last xmas with christmas balls and they did not turn out very well. :( After watching your video I think I'm going to try it again on a mug. ;) And ignore the comment about your video being boring smh...Thank you for not having annoying loud music in the background. And thank you for share your video I know you didn't have to do this for us but you did and I appreciate your video.
Nice little project but I'd also recommend peeling the UPC stickers off the bottom of the cups and cleaning the residue off with the acetone first before dipping your mugs in the nail polish water.
@@Maplesinvests It happens to the best of us and not just in crafting/art creation - one time I had been wearing a very long flowy skirt and gotten into a car not realizing the skirt was hanging out the bottom of the door and said car splashed through a mud puddle soaking the material that was hanging out, so found a Target and bought a pair of pants to wear, quickly changed and didn't realize there was a big long sticker on the back of the leg, walked around for 30 minutes that way before some nice lady told me and peeled the sticker off. lol
@@samarawinsome2774 Those are the best kind of people...the ones that tell you you have something in your teeth instead of just staring!! I appreciate it so much!! Thank goodness for that lady, your pants were saved...my video is locked in time with the sticker 🤣
The mod podge gloss isn't dishwasher safe if you plan on using it on a mug and are planning on using it frequently. If you don't plan on drinking from it or washing it then the gloss is fine. But if you plan on drinking from it use the dishwasher safe one.
Thanks for the video. I would like to ask if I do that without mod podge and do not put in dishwasher, will it stay for a long time(not months but years) or not? I want to do it as a gift but not sure about the quality. Would be much appreciated if you answer:)
I haven't tried to do it without sealing it with Mod Podge. I would be worried that the nailpolish might chip off if you didn't seal it but if your gentle maybe it would stay. And don't put it in the dishwasher if you don't seal it. You could test it out. Maybe buy a cup from the dollar tree or goodwill and see what happens. That's a good question...I should test it myself.
For the air bubbles when doing marbling, use a hair dryer on low heat. It will also help with drying and to set the paint faster. So LOW HEAT to help with water bubbles and setting up polish faster. If you have a setting for low or high for amount of air pressure, start of low.
Thanks for showing that I really enjoyed watching you and loved the way you showed how to fix as you went . I mess things up often because a lot of people on here make things look easy ....😊
I've done the same trying other crafts lol My resin pour that I did is a great example of that. In my video I wanted to make sure to show how crafting usually goes lol You mess up, then you figure out how to fix it and then it's a beautiful masterpiece. 🥰
There acrylic sprays you can use but I would recommend not using the sprays by wear you drink because they don't say non toxic. Mod podge says non toxic.
Hi. Lovely video. But I tried it with 2 coats. When it was dry the next day, I tried washing it, but the mod podge on the mug kept turning white when wet. Making the cup look white. Please what do I do? 😞
when you do an acrylic pour to make paintings you can use a heat gun to pop the bubbles and bring the silicone cells to the top do you think a heat gun would pop the water bubbles that form on the outside of the cup?
Hydro-dipping can be done pretty much anything and you can also use spray paint To hydro-dip with it's a little thinner it dont look like there is a lot of color but there actually is quite a bit. And you can get some way awesome designs.
Very nice!! Awesome idea!! This will be added to our, "cool easy crafts", list! Can't wait to make these! Plus they'll also make super personal gifts to family members, from your children, who made these themselves! Thank you so much! Awesome!!
If you really like the glitter, you can either use a glitter that doesn't have a clear base or you can apply glitter on a makeup sponge and dab it onto the mug before sealing it. Cheap glitter polish has more clear in it than glitter, but there are several glitter-dense polishes out there. Cute mugs!💚
You can use a toothpick and kind of scoop it out. The nailpolish sticks really well when you do that. Or you can just lift the whole plastic bag out of the bowl and poke a small hole in it. The water will run out and the nailpolish sticks to the bag and then you can just throw it out and use a different grocery bag. Honestly the toothpick method works better but I'm just giving you options.
Really liked the first mug, I think the second one was a little much for me personally but still pretty nonetheless! Love this idea, thanks for sharing! I think a Christmas mug like that would be pretty, light and dark green and bright cherry red and dark burgundy red and maybe some silver or gold. Love this!
I've never done a tumbler but I would imagine you could just remove the lid and put your hand inside of it with a glove on and dip it that way and then repeat the same steps you did here, idk if the results would come out differently since coffee mugs are ceramic and tumblers are metal/aluminum I'm not sure, I would assume as long as it isn't a powder coated tumbler it would be fine. Worth a try at least! Trial and error :-)
Probably. Because whatever you put first ends up being the outer color so if its glitter it should work. I'm going to do a Christmas mug dipping video soon and I'll have to try putting glitter first then the rest of the colors. But it definitely sounds like a good idea 😁
Mod Podge is PVA glue just with some water, I used to call it school glue (more likely to call it that in UK). I'm going to try using cut sponges to apply the nail polish so I can make shapes eg leaves,flowers & build them up. Very cool.
Of course!!! You're very welcome!! I know, it's really easy and I think most people have this stuff lying around there house. That's the beauty of it 😁
I love 💕 this! Thanks for sharing ❣️ therapeutic and fun! I'm newly subd! So Happy I found you When I searched marbled mugs! You have a relaxing way about you and Great gift idea for all occasions! 😘

It takes almost 30 days to dry. It takes forever. Until then it will remain sticky. I do live in Arizona so I'm not sure maybe humidity might be an issue because it's very dry here. I hope this helps!
when i did mine i did cups and bowls, when i put the modpoge on it smugged the nail polish, and i am scared to put it in the dishwasher. and i did not know that you had to let it sit for 28 days to cure.
I waited a while before I put the mod podge over the nail polish. Maybe try that next time. It will withstand the dishwasher, at least mine did. But I would recommend just hand washing to make sure it doesn't melt off.
I'm just going to cut and past my comment over again for you. This is what I shared with everyone in a comment. It answers you question. Your second one got messed up because you skipped a step. You forgot to swirl it with your toothpick, and you ended up with air bubbles between the polish layers. In stead of using ModPodge to finish coat it, buy a can of Clear, [or a Clear acrylic sealer] Lacquer/or top coat clear nail polish allow it to dry thoroughly. If you decide to spray it, do it with the opening of your cup, face down. Just a warning, ModPodge on a drinking vessel will get ruined in a dish washer, if you use just ModPodge as your finish, that is. The Heat and water combined, will turn white and milky and stick on anything you set it on. Even if it's the least bit wet. Coffee cup coating? Your putting hot beverage's in, the cup will make a ModPodge ring on what ever you set it down on. Heat melts the ModPodge. Trust me on these tid-bit of information. I did an art project on my old office desk. Yes, it turned out beautiful, until I sat a cup of hot coffee down on it. It cooked a ring right into the finish. I was sewing on another occasion, and this quilt had to be press on one little corner. I put a towel on the corner of the desktop, and once it was pressed, I ended up with towel cotton loops, stuck to my desk top. So... it can't hold up to the heat, at all. I hope I may have been help to you? I do a good bit of craft projects, and have had to learned my lessons the hard way. Trial, and error, can get pretty expensive.
They are beautiful colors. I am going save this video and make one just like yours one day. Thank you for showing us how to make those beautiful colors. AWESOME
@@kimklingenberg2002 I put it on the mug. I'm not sure exactly what paper you are talking about but the paint in the bowl just transferred straight onto the mug 🥰
Okay y'all, I have a tip as a person that tried this DIY and it didn't work out so well for me. Please make sure that your fingernail polish DOESN'T have hardener in it. Us women don't have very good patience when it comes to waiting for our nails to dry, but it actually is really crappy when trying to do this and/or rocks.
Clear coat does work but I dont recommend putting it on areas that you drink from. If you are going to do that just paint the bottom portion of the cup instead of the whole thing. The spray still take 24 hours to cure but that's definitely faster than 28 days 🤣
I did a test with the dishwasher test make sure you put it on the top rack. I always hand wash mine but if it was put in the dishwasher I know it's safe.
Yes its permanent. I would hand wash and not dishwash just to insure the design doesn't chip off. It doesn't taste like nail polish. It does smell for a week or two right after but you are supposed to let it cure for 28 days so by then it doesn't smell anymore.
When you dip the cup try spinning it as it goes under the water. That makes a cool design also. Instead of just dipping the cup straight down as you're dipping it in the water spin the cup around in circles
I believe that someone had said a mixture of all purpose glue and water or something like that works like mod podge does. Maybe Google substitutes for mod podge. Or go to your local craft store and ask if they carry anything that seals faster than 28 days. I'm not sure. I hope this helps.

Oh no! I was on edge the whole time watching this! Its suppose to expand! YOU WANT IT TO EXPAND!!! Clean the polish out before you redip!!!!!!!! One of the most important steps. Otherwise the first layer rolls up on the second and creates clumps. You want to use brand new polish. "Old" polish wont expand as much and you wont be able to create your design with the toothpick. Use distilled water...it just works better. I used to do this to my nails. This mess will have you crying! You also took too long to dip. This method is fast setting. You have like 5-15seconds to drop and dip...Anything longer results in disaster. JS. When you start to drop your polish, drop it directly over each other. It will expand as you do this. Once you have your circle the size you want, then take the toothpick and create your design. Again...like 5-15seconds...seriously. If you wait...it will ruin. I used to line my fingers with Elmers Glue(White glue) so it wouldnt stick. I wonder if that will work with the cups. This concept on cups is super cool. Never thought about that. Your cups turned out beautifully though.
The mod podge bottle says non toxic. If your worried maybe use painter's tape and tape off the top inch of the mug so it won't touch someone's lips. I drink from this one and it's fine but it's up to you.

Really cute! Tip: for the glittery look you want, try adding glitter to the mod podge or shake a fine glitter dust on the cup while still wet. Seal with a final coat of mod podge
I'll definitely have to try that one 💖
I was thinking the same about the glitter. Didn't no how I was gone 2 keep it from being harmful 2 me. Thks 4 the tip xoxo.
Can you use resin to seal instead of mod podge?
I’m sure you can. I’ve never tried and I’m not sure about hot drinks with the resin but you can always experiment and see what happens.
Let me know how it goes ❤️
I just found this video but what about a food grade poly sealer for the final clear coat? Would that work?
That would definitely work. Where do you get that!?
Get your mugs at Goodwill they have way too many of them there .. we should recycle !
Didn't even think of that great idea!!!!!
yep thats were i got mine goodwill...
Oo yeah they have some cute ones too
I ever only see decorative ones, never just plain white ones. 🙃
Dollar Tree has mugs white ones for just $1.00 each!!
Also I love this she chose its way better than other music I have heard. You did a great job! You voice is relaxing and fun. You made the diy way cute!
My 5 year old daughter watched this and was absolutely enamored by this. Anything rainbow is awesome as she says. Definitely a cool take on hydrodipping with household materials.
Ya...its a cute project that most people can do with stuff around the house 😁 Glad she enjoyed it!! Hope you guys try it out 💖
This is such a cute idea. I LOVE those colors, especially the 1st one! Thank you. I hollered when you said, "...and no, I'm not making you one!" 😂😂😂
I have some ideas from this video. Thanks girl!
Now, what I would do is put painter's tape around the rim and that would give it a clean edge plus keep the chemicals from making contact with my lips.
That's a great idea! I have a list of things I need to do on my next mug dip. Probably will be doing a Thanksgiving dip and definitely a Christmas one. Hope your mug turns out amazing!!!
I used to do this type of craft work many years ago I used to use new white t shirts wooden brushes and what ever else I could use it came in handy for making Christmas gifts or birthday presents they were the number one seller each time I had a stall
I have read all the comments on this page and I'm astounded at the rudeness of some of these people who have wrote comments.
This lovely lady has bothered to come on here to try out a project and share it with others.
Yet what does she get, people saying it's trash and sloppy, insults about her voice and the music in the background, and people saying her video is boring ect, ect.
Firstly why did you watch the video if it bored you, that doesn't make any sense to me at all.
As for all the rudeness and pettiness, well I think some people need to get a life and seriously have a think about why they feel the need to be so nasty to others for no reason.
This lovely lady chose to let us watch her do a fun project which I thought was great and something I'd like to try myself.
Mostly she got lots of great tips and tricks on how to maybe improve the craft the next time she did it.
Yet there's always a few in the crowd that like to act like kids and pull people down and be nasty.
Why don't you just stop watching if you don't like the video? No one was forcing you to watch it , and it certainly wasn't something you needed to make derogatory comments about.
If you haven't got anything nice to say, or good suggestions to offer then just don't say anything .
There is nothing about this video that would cause offense to you or anyone, so instead of writing nasty comments, go away and put some effort into thinking why you are acting this way, and sort yourself out, and do us all a favour and go away, and come back when you've grown up...
Your so sweet!! 🥰🥰🥰
Its public so there's no need in even acknowledging the negative Nancy's your just giving them what they want. .
Amen come on now say tat. Tats GOOD TEACHING right there. Couldn't said it better my self xoxo.
I am deaf. So people who leave bad comments about her voice , please turn off sounds and read closed caption instead. It is a good video here showing us how to do the mugs. A+A+A+A+
They are beautiful colors. I am going to make one like hers one day. Thank you for showing us how to do it.
Does anyone know if you can use glitter powder and add it to the mix before dunking? Or would that mess it up / not stick to the mug?
I don't know...I've never tried
Take a broomstick handle and cut it to where it's about 12 in Long and take a 6 inch piece of noodle from a pool and Slide the broomstick in the hole and glue it in place. Then you can take the noodle and stick it into the coffee mug which will hold it from the inside and then you can dip the coffee cup without even touching the coffee cup
Good afternoon, thank you for sharing your very well thoughtout art project.
I have a question for you what type of Mod Podge do you use to seal your art projects.
I’m going to try and make a couple coffee mugs to give my wife for Valentine’s Day.
Thanks again for sharing your arts & craft project.
Respectfully

I use the dishwasher safe modpodge. The label color is blue/teal color. You can find it at any craft store. That's very sweet of you!! I'm sure she will love it!!
Try using a larger bowl and a hanger to hold the handle. To dip it further in.
I did in my newest video 😁 it worked out much better 🧡
Love these great idea to line the bowl
It definitely saves on clean up
i have hunted everywhere for what to put over the nail polish so it wont come off, i ended up giving up a year ago and today i ran across your channel. thank you. i loved this they are beautiful and i cant wait to finally get those boring white cups done that are sitting in my cupboard.
That's great!! I'm glad you found this. Mod podge works really well but someone had left a comment too about acrylic spray that you could use as well. I haven't tried that method yet. I plan on it soon. I hope your cups turn out amazing!!! 💖
Beautiful. I really like the diagonal design.
Thank you so much!!!
This is a cool idea, but I would not recommend putting the nail polish or mod podge near the rim of the mug or on the inside. These are not food safe and shouldn't be anywhere that touches food or your mouth.
@@ohcaptainmycaptain4829 Well, as a ceramic artist, I can tell you. It is a clear food-safe glaze that is fired on. 😉 Also, dogs' mouths are not full of chemicals. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD (ie. letting a dog lick inside your mouth)
@@VioletEPK yeah, they lick their B×lls !!! Male ones anyway
Angie B as a ceramic artist could you please tell me how to achieve a gold foil colour cup handle? I’m trying to get a high mirror type finish. Can’t seem to find info anywhere online. Many thanks
@@NatalineDaycreator1 Sure :) If you have access to a kiln, you could apply some gold luster. It will give it a beautiful highly reflective finish. Don't be fooled when you first apply it though. It will not look shiny or gold until it is fired.
People chew their nails ...no problem
I made these for all of my family members for Christmas then filled them with their favorite candy.
That's a great idea!!!

Cool 💟💟

what happens if you dip it the other way the opposite from how you did it? i mean do you think it would go inside the cup when you marblize it?
those are pretty! thanks for sharing!
Ya it would definitely go on the inside. Maybe I'll have to try that in my next video😁🥰
@@Maplesinvests cool! can't wait to see it! thank you again for sharing.
It took me years to work out someone who was so hurtful nasty mean cruel negative towards me and sadly that was one of my sisters not a stranger until someone very wise said “Patricia you can’t make sense of madness” omg it opened me up to heaps and helped me understand her makeup. Hope this helps oh and thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you for the advice 🥰 I truly appreciate it!! My mom is my family member so it's very challenging.
All of these negative or "I can do it better" comments.
I ❤️❤️❤️loved❤️❤️❤️ the video.
You keep making more. Most of the these people eat roach turds and didn't know it. If nail polish was soooooooooo bad, the hospitals would be flooded with nail polish poison not Alcohol poisoning..
Keep up the awesome work❤️❤️❤️.Keep using nail polish in crafts....
Practice practice practice.
Thank you so much!! I will 🥰
Try it with an acrylic finish. Clear top coat that you use to seal your nails with after a good manicure. Trust me, Modpodge will not make you happy in the long run. It reacts to heat and moisture. It's just like school using school glue it will turn milky white once hot water gets on it.. A hot cup of coffee will leave rings on what ever you set it on. The heat melts it and it will stick to stuff you sit it on. Again it's like Elmer's Glue. It dries clear but reverts back to gummy glue once it's wet for a few minutes.
I'm wondering if I can try this with acrylics 🤔
Probably...I never have
Yes I've hydro dipped with spray paints and acrylics. You just have to put a little in a cup and cut with an equal amount of water so it doesn't sink to the bottom. (only the acrylic has to be diluted not the spray paint). Dollar stores have little mini Solo cups that are great for mixing each color with water before pouring each in
Reminds me of Jackson Pollock painting. Super cute.
Thanks 🥰
Love this, I am newbie at, my question is once finish where do you depose of the water since it does still have nail polish in water?
The excess nailpolish usually sticks to the bag itself. I pick the whole bag up and usually put a pin in it so the water drains slowly out so I can catch as much nailpolish as possible in the bag. I usually do this in my backyard over this area of rocks I have so it doesn't go down the sink. It ends up mostly in the plastic bag and whatever happens to be in the water ends up on my rocks in the backyard. I don't know if this helps but that's how I do it 😊 Happy crafting 🥰
Thanks for the "bag cover" idea:) Your mugs turned out Gorgeous!
Your welcome 😁 Thanks for watching!!
I like how your mug turned out as well. I tried this last xmas with christmas balls and they did not turn out very well. :( After watching your video I think I'm going to try it again on a mug. ;) And ignore the comment about your video being boring smh...Thank you for not having annoying loud music in the background. And thank you for share your video I know you didn't have to do this for us but you did and I appreciate your video.
I'm wondering could you use clear gesso as a primer for after instead of the mod podge? Just curious.
Your perfect for showing us this especially right around the holidays
It's really fun to do!! And all the projects turn out different 🥰🥰🥰
Nice little project but I'd also recommend peeling the UPC stickers off the bottom of the cups and cleaning the residue off with the acetone first before dipping your mugs in the nail polish water.
That's for the advice...I honestly don't know what I was thinking not taking the sticker off 🤣🤣🤣
@@Maplesinvests It happens to the best of us and not just in crafting/art creation - one time I had been wearing a very long flowy skirt and gotten into a car not realizing the skirt was hanging out the bottom of the door and said car splashed through a mud puddle soaking the material that was hanging out, so found a Target and bought a pair of pants to wear, quickly changed and didn't realize there was a big long sticker on the back of the leg, walked around for 30 minutes that way before some nice lady told me and peeled the sticker off. lol
@@samarawinsome2774 Those are the best kind of people...the ones that tell you you have something in your teeth instead of just staring!! I appreciate it so much!! Thank goodness for that lady, your pants were saved...my video is locked in time with the sticker 🤣
Do you think you can put in the oven after it’s dry so the polish will cure on the cup
That I’m not sure. I haven’t tried.
What os mod podge i wana make this for Christmas its a good idea
Mod podge is a sealer that goes over the paint. You can buy it at any craft store or on Amazon.
I got the mod podge floss is that good to use it says it’s water based
The mod podge gloss isn't dishwasher safe if you plan on using it on a mug and are planning on using it frequently. If you don't plan on drinking from it or washing it then the gloss is fine. But if you plan on drinking from it use the dishwasher safe one.
CamCam&Breenie okay thank you the cup is a tester I was trying out I will use it as something else thank you
FYI - a hair dryer will pop the bubbles in the nail polish.. or a heat gun set on a lower temp.. instead of going all around the cup with q-tips..
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to use my hair dryer on the next one 😁
Do you think this will work on glass mugs? Thank ou for making this video. I really enjoyed it.
Maybe...I haven't tried before
Yes it will. Tried it. Turned out beautiful
I just have to mention also the great way we can see very clearly what you were doing. A+
I try this nail polish to my flower vase it's amazing 🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙 sending loves to everyone ❤💕
I need to try a vase!! Did it turn out good??
Nice idea 💡
Thanks for the video. I would like to ask if I do that without mod podge and do not put in dishwasher, will it stay for a long time(not months but years) or not?
I want to do it as a gift but not sure about the quality. Would be much appreciated if you answer:)
I haven't tried to do it without sealing it with Mod Podge. I would be worried that the nailpolish might chip off if you didn't seal it but if your gentle maybe it would stay. And don't put it in the dishwasher if you don't seal it. You could test it out. Maybe buy a cup from the dollar tree or goodwill and see what happens. That's a good question...I should test it myself.
What color was that teal color you used?
I know it's by Sinful colors but I'm not sure the shade name. I don't have this color anymore...I used it all.
what about spraying it with a shellac? but this is such a cool idea since i don't use regular nail polish, thank you!
I have an acrylic spray now that I use but only if it doesn't touch the mouth area.
For the air bubbles when doing marbling, use a hair dryer on low heat. It will also help with drying and to set the paint faster. So LOW HEAT to help with water bubbles and setting up polish faster. If you have a setting for low or high for amount of air pressure, start of low.
Thank you for the advice 🥰
Thanks for showing that I really enjoyed watching you and loved the way you showed how to fix as you went .
I mess things up often because a lot of people on here make things look easy ....😊
I've done the same trying other crafts lol My resin pour that I did is a great example of that. In my video I wanted to make sure to show how crafting usually goes lol You mess up, then you figure out how to fix it and then it's a beautiful masterpiece. 🥰
Nice! What else can you use besides modpog to seal them?
There acrylic sprays you can use but I would recommend not using the sprays by wear you drink because they don't say non toxic. Mod podge says non toxic.
I've done this project before. So fun for kids to do! FYI - don't use glitter polish if you want to put those cups in the microwave!
Thanks for the tip! Glitter nail polish doesn't work at all lol I learned the hard way when pouring it into the water 🤣
What about sparkly silver nail polish on another color??
@@bobbifields1477 I don't know I haven't tried it before.
CamCam&Breenie alright. Well thanks for replying. I just tried for the first time tonight after wanting to for over a month
Can you use them after modge podge dries or do you have to wait 28 days to even use?
Thank you I love this vidoe!❤
Hi. Lovely video. But I tried it with 2 coats. When it was dry the next day, I tried washing it, but the mod podge on the mug kept turning white when wet. Making the cup look white. Please what do I do? 😞
You have to let the mod podge cure for 28 days. You can't wash it until after the 28 days and then it should be perfect 🥰
Thank you for this video! Looks fun ❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖
It is very fun ❤️
I dunno if I want to put my lips on nail polish or mod podge but great diy project! I would like to see a marble effect cup.
Can you use for hot coffe? What kind od mod podge. Ttyy.
I'd be tempted to use a blow dryer to get them dried sooner. They turned out fantastic! BTW, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and Kroger also sell Sinful colors.
Fight the temptation!! Lol. Thank you!! I didn't know they carried them too.
when you do an acrylic pour to make paintings you can use a heat gun to pop the bubbles and bring the silicone cells to the top do you think a heat gun would pop the water bubbles that form on the outside of the cup?
Maybe...I've never tried. But also I think nail polish is flammable so maybe look at the label before trying.
Can this be done on metal tumblers
I'm 99% sure it can. But I haven't tried. I think my next video will be trying it on a tumbler.
Hydro-dipping can be done pretty much anything and you can also use spray paint To hydro-dip with it's a little thinner it dont look like there is a lot of color but there actually is quite a bit. And you can get some way awesome designs.
Hi Nichelle!! I did a tumbler!! Here's the video if you want to see what happened 😁
th-cam.com/video/zLTlSrBBc6g/w-d-xo.html
Very nice!! Awesome idea!! This will be added to our, "cool easy crafts", list! Can't wait to make these! Plus they'll also make super personal gifts to family members, from your children, who made these themselves! Thank you so much! Awesome!!
You can buy little black stickers after you dip the coffee cup and put people's names on it before you put the Mosh Posh
I would definitely take that sticker off the bottom before dipping it in nail polish. Fun. I have done some planter pots doing this....
I don't know why I didn't take the sticker off. My mistake.
Planter pots is a terrific idea
picky pick picky
get over it
If you really like the glitter, you can either use a glitter that doesn't have a clear base or you can apply glitter on a makeup sponge and dab it onto the mug before sealing it.
Cheap glitter polish has more clear in it than glitter, but there are several glitter-dense polishes out there.
Cute mugs!💚
Thanks!! Yes I love glitter alot!!
The plastic bag isss genius helloooo!
ya i did't use a plastic bag and i had a mess...lol
MizzRivera86 I love how she slipped and said trash bag ... um Walmart bag, lol I was like yes sis me too.
How do you clean the water for multiple drippings?
You can use a toothpick and kind of scoop it out. The nailpolish sticks really well when you do that. Or you can just lift the whole plastic bag out of the bowl and poke a small hole in it. The water will run out and the nailpolish sticks to the bag and then you can just throw it out and use a different grocery bag. Honestly the toothpick method works better but I'm just giving you options.
It can use for tea.is it regularly use
Yes. Just hand wash it don't put it in the dishwasher.
Really liked the first mug, I think the second one was a little much for me personally but still pretty nonetheless! Love this idea, thanks for sharing! I think a Christmas mug like that would be pretty, light and dark green and bright cherry red and dark burgundy red and maybe some silver or gold. Love this!
Or would look really pretty on a tumbler!
@@jenniferpatterson146 I don't know how to use tumbler lol Maybe I should figure it out...any tips!?
I've never done a tumbler but I would imagine you could just remove the lid and put your hand inside of it with a glove on and dip it that way and then repeat the same steps you did here, idk if the results would come out differently since coffee mugs are ceramic and tumblers are metal/aluminum I'm not sure, I would assume as long as it isn't a powder coated tumbler it would be fine. Worth a try at least! Trial and error :-)
AWESOME!!! First time I ever seen this done on a mug. Thanks kindly for sharing. Beautiful!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Could you do this with plates as well?
Yes, it definitely could be done with plates as well. I just haven't tried yet. I just bought a bigger dipping bucket so I should try a plate.
@@Maplesinvests very cool I will be trying this out I have a giant bag of nail polish that I don't even use but now I have a use for them.
Do u u think if u put the glitter in first an the colours over the top it may work?? 💜
Probably. Because whatever you put first ends up being the outer color so if its glitter it should work. I'm going to do a Christmas mug dipping video soon and I'll have to try putting glitter first then the rest of the colors. But it definitely sounds like a good idea 😁

I think I would spread my fingers inside cup tight so I could dunk the whole cup.
People it's called gloves lol just wear gloves lol 😁😉
@@amyskaggs4150 well yes. But I tink they mean to about a finger print where the enamel doesn't stick.
Mod Podge is PVA glue just with some water, I used to call it school glue (more likely to call it that in UK). I'm going to try using cut sponges to apply the nail polish so I can make shapes eg leaves,flowers & build them up. Very cool.
That's a great idea!!!
These are super cute! Does the mod podge also seal in the polish and chemicals? Nail polish is harmful to inhale/digest
It's supposed to. But I just tend to drink from the none nailpolished parts just in case.

Hey when i applied modpodge it remained sticky ,how can i improve my work
It takes almost 30 days to dry. It takes forever. Until then it will remain sticky. I do live in Arizona so I'm not sure maybe humidity might be an issue because it's very dry here. I hope this helps!
Would the Modpodge work over Sharpie markers?
Yes it does 😁 Just make sure the sharpie is dry before covering with the mod podge because it will smear it everywhere.
@@Maplesinvests Awesome! Thank you!!! 🥰
when i did mine i did cups and bowls, when i put the modpoge on it smugged the nail polish, and i am scared to put it in the dishwasher. and i did not know that you had to let it sit for 28 days to cure.
I waited a while before I put the mod podge over the nail polish. Maybe try that next time. It will withstand the dishwasher, at least mine did. But I would recommend just hand washing to make sure it doesn't melt off.
@@Maplesinvests ok sounds good, loved the vid by the way...
@@mb6h1 thank you 😁
I'm just going to cut and past my comment over again for you. This is what I shared with everyone in a comment. It answers you question. Your second one got messed up because you skipped a step. You forgot to swirl it with your toothpick, and you ended up with air bubbles between the polish layers. In stead of using ModPodge to finish coat it, buy a can of Clear, [or a Clear acrylic sealer] Lacquer/or top coat clear nail polish allow it to dry thoroughly. If you decide to spray it, do it with the opening of your cup, face down. Just a warning, ModPodge on a drinking vessel will get ruined in a dish washer, if you use just ModPodge as your finish, that is. The Heat and water combined, will turn white and milky and stick on anything you set it on. Even if it's the least bit wet. Coffee cup coating? Your putting hot beverage's in, the cup will make a ModPodge ring on what ever you set it down on. Heat melts the ModPodge. Trust me on these tid-bit of information. I did an art project on my old office desk. Yes, it turned out beautiful, until I sat a cup of hot coffee down on it. It cooked a ring right into the finish. I was sewing on another occasion, and this quilt had to be press on one little corner. I put a towel on the corner of the desktop, and once it was pressed, I ended up with towel cotton loops, stuck to my desk top. So... it can't hold up to the heat, at all. I hope I may have been help to you? I do a good bit of craft projects, and have had to learned my lessons the hard way. Trial, and error, can get pretty expensive.
They are beautiful colors. I am going save this video and make one just like yours one day. Thank you for showing us how to make those beautiful colors. AWESOME

@@kimklingenberg2002 I put it on the mug. I'm not sure exactly what paper you are talking about but the paint in the bowl just transferred straight onto the mug 🥰
Can U use polyurethane to seal it instead of Mod Podge?
Maybe...I honestly don't know. I've only tried with Mod Podge.
Mod podge is safer
The colors and pattern remind me of the backgrounds in school pictures in the 80s. Hehe
Nice job!
💙💚🧡
Okay y'all, I have a tip as a person that tried this DIY and it didn't work out so well for me. Please make sure that your fingernail polish DOESN'T have hardener in it. Us women don't have very good patience when it comes to waiting for our nails to dry, but it actually is really crappy when trying to do this and/or rocks.
Tip to faster drying stuff rather than mod podge... Would clear coat spray work or is that not safe... Help? Tips??
Clear coat does work but I dont recommend putting it on areas that you drink from. If you are going to do that just paint the bottom portion of the cup instead of the whole thing. The spray still take 24 hours to cure but that's definitely faster than 28 days 🤣
I did a test with the dishwasher test make sure you put it on the top rack. I always hand wash mine but if it was put in the dishwasher I know it's safe.
what paint are you using after it dried
It’s called modpodge it’s a sealer for the paint
@@Maplesinvests
..Can we use clear art resin coating if modpodge is inaccessible ?
The first one looks really good! Great job I've done something similar. You might want to take sticker off the bottom it's easy to forget.
That's the first thing I do now is take the sticker off lol I've learned my lesson 🤣
Well you can always re-dip the mug again after it is dry in the glitter nail polish... or am I wrong?
Ya you totally can. I should do that one my next dip and see what happens.
@@Maplesinvests would love to see the final result
Is it permanent and would it taste like nail polish when you drink out of it.
Yes its permanent. I would hand wash and not dishwash just to insure the design doesn't chip off. It doesn't taste like nail polish. It does smell for a week or two right after but you are supposed to let it cure for 28 days so by then it doesn't smell anymore.
@@Maplesinvests I dont own a dishwasher or plan to 😂 thank you. Can't wait to try this. 👍🏼
I meant and I dont plan on owning one either 😂
When you dip the cup try spinning it as it goes under the water. That makes a cool design also. Instead of just dipping the cup straight down as you're dipping it in the water spin the cup around in circles
28 days for modge podge to cure!? Is there anything quicker i can use please? X
I believe that someone had said a mixture of all purpose glue and water or something like that works like mod podge does. Maybe Google substitutes for mod podge. Or go to your local craft store and ask if they carry anything that seals faster than 28 days. I'm not sure. I hope this helps.

This is a good idea for Bible School. Thanks for Posting☝
You're very welcome 😊
Oh no! I was on edge the whole time watching this! Its suppose to expand! YOU WANT IT TO EXPAND!!! Clean the polish out before you redip!!!!!!!! One of the most important steps. Otherwise the first layer rolls up on the second and creates clumps. You want to use brand new polish. "Old" polish wont expand as much and you wont be able to create your design with the toothpick. Use distilled water...it just works better. I used to do this to my nails. This mess will have you crying! You also took too long to dip. This method is fast setting. You have like 5-15seconds to drop and dip...Anything longer results in disaster. JS. When you start to drop your polish, drop it directly over each other. It will expand as you do this. Once you have your circle the size you want, then take the toothpick and create your design. Again...like 5-15seconds...seriously. If you wait...it will ruin. I used to line my fingers with Elmers Glue(White glue) so it wouldnt stick. I wonder if that will work with the cups. This concept on cups is super cool. Never thought about that. Your cups turned out beautifully though.
I was cringing when she didn't clean off the surface of the water before the 2nd dip.

OMGosh, I love the idea of masking your nails with glue! Excellent!
Omg I was doing the same thinggggg
Just a question...and it may have been answered already, but...are these safe to drink from; safe to be putting one's lips on?
The mod podge bottle says non toxic. If your worried maybe use painter's tape and tape off the top inch of the mug so it won't touch someone's lips. I drink from this one and it's fine but it's up to you.
Can a plastic mug b used? Will nail polish get stuck to it?
Probably...but I haven't tried. I'll have to try that next time and see if it works 😊
Way cool! Good job. Thanks for showing me how to get it to stay on the mug.
You're very welcome ❤
Will it work on the plastic coffee mugs
It might. I've never tried. I'll have to try the one 🥰
@@Maplesinvests me and my daughter tried 😂😂 it wont dry but i guess i takes a while
@@Girlmom-gh8gk That's awesome that you tried. It take 30 days to seal even on the ceramic.
@@Maplesinvests thank you
If you put acetone in a spray bottle and then spray the top of it it will spread instead of drying up so quickly
