This video is greatly appreciated. I had this problem with valentine's day hearts. You saved me money and a headache. Can't wait to get the two colors and begin a new resin journey using Red.
Actual red mica’s are very difficult to find. That was a great experiment and the ❤️ was a beautiful true red. I don’t know if Rezin Arte by ColourArte is available in the UK but, they have one called Puppy Love. I’ve got it but, haven’t tried it yet. It looks pretty close to true red. Thanks Wendy
Omgoodness that’s a lot of red! I have several too bc it’s an elusive thing to find a good one. Maybe adding a bit of Macropearl from Pearl Ex..or Pearl alcohol ink from piñata, would make the other 2 favorites have shimmer so they are usable. ~~I agree with you on the top 2. I do love pastes but really dislike finding them hard and unusable. The heat gun will fix it with stirring & heating back and forth until it’s all liquid again.. but it takes much less time to go hard again. The two reds I’ve been going with are from Coloure Arte, Queens Stiletto and Puppy Love. Saskia Smit (TH-cam channel)sells their products in the Netherlands & always has discount codes. They’re a little pricey for the micas but sooo much better quality.. idk if that’s easier for you as far as customs/fees/time than the USA is. ~~Anyway thank you for this comparison. It’s been needing addressed. See you in the next Wendy 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much for this information. There is a limit to how many reds you can actually buy 😂😂 most of the micas I have are red from trying to find the red 😂😂 now I have a good colour red I can give it a rest for a while 😂😂 But I will check out those companies 😀😀 it’s always worth looking 🤔😀❤️
I started making resin back in 2007 and the variety of pigments was very limited. I have never found a true red, and I have been looking for years! Thank you for doing this video and finding these beautiful red pigments! ❤❤❤
I feel your frustration completely 😀 and although I haven’t been using resin for as long as you I definitely agree that everything was so limited back when I started. 😳 I’m happy that you found this video useful 😀 Have a wonderful week 😀😀❤️
Thank you Wendy for this! Red has always been such a hard color. Finding one red, not pink ect, is my nemesis. Thanks for trying these all to find the best combination.
Hi Wendy, Thank you for sharing your experiment I am 100% definitely with you on this one most of them did have that pinky tinge but you kept going & BINGO YOU DONE IT 🤗 you would never think it would be so hard to find a simple red 🥰👍✨. Wendy I loved your live with Claire ❤️
A super experiment Wendy, so grateful you’ve done this. Like you, I struggled to find a proper red and in the end went with the Craft Geek Mars Red. It’s been ok but I’ll definitely be trying out your winning two in future. Thanks again for such an informative video 😊x
Thank you Wendy, I think #8 is the truest red, and mixing it with the one you did looked great. Now to find a true red glitter that would not sink to add to #8!
@@Toonpish I will order some Friday, and see what red mica is available here in the states to get, then maybe order a few different reds like you did, because I'm also having troubles finding a true red, something that has no pink or orange to it.
@DAsAngel1960 I found 'True Red' on Amazon, by Slice of the Moon. It's SO red, it practically hurts to look at it, but it isn't a "neon". It is also very shimmery. It was inexpensive compared to Eye Candy, and is located in Monument, Colorado.
This was fun! I'm glad my phone showed the colors as you saw them. You'd ask a question and I'd point to the ones I chose. Yes, same as you. At least now I know what to get when red mica is needed.
Thank you so very much 😀😀😀 I was told by my husband that it was boring but okay 😂😂 I tried to explain that to me it’s important and hopefully to others too 😂😂 I’m so glad you found it useful 👍❤️❤️❤️
@@Toonpish 100%! When you spend money and time on something you're so excited about only to not get the results you hoped for, it can get sooo discouraging! You've helped us a lot! Men... They know nothing! LMBO
I understand you frustration. I have been looking for a red mica. I like the Eye Candy AKAI TSUKI Red. It is a nice color red and a pretty shimmer to it.
I like the one without shimmer, but I’d have to add some shimmery mica to it. That doubles the cost, but would work when a true red is needed. Thank you for this experiment. Great experiment!
Thank you! Omg yas! It's been so difficult finding STRAIGHT mica powder colors! Red is notoriously hard.. I've looked for straight green, blue and yellows too.. I can't find a yellow glitter that doesn't turn green in resin either if anyone has had any luck with that I'd appreciate the info too!! Ur awesome grrlie!! Love your channel! Tysm for doing this for us!! 🫂🥰💕
Thank you so kindly for sharing this wonderful video. I now know what I need to have a great red color. Cheers and looking forward to seeing your next video. Take care and happy crafting.
I expect it doesn’t help, but the two that were my favourites had shimmer but were not pink. So I expect it’s how the manufacturers want it to look 😀😀👍😀
I find it quite difficult to source the colours I want too. Some of them look great on line but are not that great in reality. Thanks for doing this experiment Wendy.
I’m definitely with you on your winning choices. The 50/50 mix is literally the perfect red. I guess you’re gonna be making a lot of red/pinky/orangey things now that you have so much mica 😂
Wow thank you for this! This has been my biggest gripe about some colors! I want X color without a GOLD shimmer, without a different color shimmer. It would be one thing if I was trying to buy a mica with color changing properties but a straight color shouldn't have this issue. Thanks for letting us know which ones looked stunning! Now, time to go shopping! LOL
I adore the metallic red from Stonecoat Countertops. It's astounding. Pearlex does have a lovely red, but I can't remember what they call it. It does look like if you're looking for bright red, cosmetic pigments would be your best bet.
@@Toonpish Well, crap. What is the address that we can send things to you at, again? I live 20 minutes from stonecoat countertops business. I don't much care for their resin, but I love supporting local business, and, well, I was going to order more of their beautiful micas anyway. It might take a little bit to get to you, but you are such an inspiration for me, I'd be more than happy to donate some mica :-) Anything other than stunning red that you're needing?
Bless you Naudia 🥰🥰🥰 that is so very kind of you ❤️ You can message me via my email address if you like 😀😀 but as I am in the uk the postage won’t be cheap ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Wendy. Please do try the other Eye Candy reds. You will be amazed at the vibrant red pigment as well as mica you get. Look at their shorts on TH-cam to pick the red you are looking for. You can also ask them for a colour chart. I have just about all their reds. The mica has got beautiful shimmer to it. You won't be disappointed.
Oh I don’t think I would be disappointed at all but we can’t get them in the uk. I only have a few because my sister holidays in Florida once a year and she very kindly bought some back last time. Seriously I would love them to be available here. But thank you for your comment I really appreciate it 😀😀❤️
Red IS one of the hardest colors to get right in any medium, and I personally really dislike the orange tinted ones. I think you picked the best of these 12. I wonder how one of the colorless shimmers would do added to the no-shimmer red? Would it lighten the color or just add the shimmer you wanted? Thanks for doing the testing!
Very good comparison Wendy! i doing the same thing the now with silver pigment, trying to make a true silver without swirls in a deep pour. Glad you found your true red hen! 😃 Wee Val
Hello again Wendy. The videos you give us are so very helpful. The idea of mixing like colors to get exactly what you want is brilliant. You have given so many good ideas. I have started recently working with sea glass for a few jewelry pieces. I do wish I could send you pics to get your opinion of my work. It's an opinion I value. Hoping all is well with you and yours. Sending good wishes and good vibes across the pond.
Are you on Instagram Forrest??? You can send me pictures on there. Or find me on Facebook and dm me 😀😀 I maybe a little slow on answering but I get there eventually 😀😀❤️
That was a great test and I was about ti say mix the neon with the wtrcv, but as I was taping heard you say that you mixed them. I should have known you would. 😆 🤣 😂
Like you I’ve been searching for a true red mica and was thrilled you’d found one. I immediately clicked the link to Amazon to buy the ‘red’ but it’s not listed any more. So disappointing. I’m going to try to find the manufacturer to see what’s happening. They’ve got other colours but not the red 😢
Yes I did see that yesterday when I was linking it. But I only bought it about a week or two ago so maybe it’s just sold out. The other one cosmetic pigments on etsy is still available I believe and there wasn’t much difference between them. I hope you find the wtrcsv red 👍👍❤️🤞
Thank you for doing this! Red is my favorite color and I was having a hard time too finding a good one. I think your picks are great and will make note of who they are from (hopefully available in the US). BTW, what was the name of the foil that you used for the snail? THAT red was scrumptious!
GREAT video, Wendy, and thank you for going to all this trouble! I very much wish I had more disposable income, as I'd be happy to send you some reds from Eye Candy and Slice of the Moon, or any others that I find. An idea for using up your over-abundance of reds...a resin tray or a honking big canvas! 😁 You could call it "The Reds Have It" and use all sorts of shades in a dutch-type pour. Contrast with bits of black and gold...yummy!
My favorites are the ones without shimmer. I think I would try adding the tiniest amount of crushed crystal mica to get the shimmer. Do you have anything like that?
The one I have is by Unicone and I got it on Amazon. I'm glad you did this video because I don't have a real blood red mica either. Every kit I have it's either orange or pink.
Good afternoon, Wendy.. I need some help with my mica powders please!! I can stir my mica in my resin and never ever get the resin to break down all of the powder. Is there something I can do to help break it down in my resin? I have tried mixing it in a smaller amount of resin and then adding it to the rest of my resin and that does help but not all the way.. HELP PLEASE... Thank You!
There are some micas that do the same for me but it’s really down to the brand. Have you tried sieving it? Or maybe putting it in a pestle and mortar? I do think the idea of mixing it in a small cup is a good thing to do. That’s about the advice I can give. I hope you can sort it out ❤️❤️
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned these true reds in the comments. I’m a bit late seeing this video. There are a couple of true reds from Fluid Art Co. They are from the This Little Piggy line. Their true red is called Maraschino, and they also have a bright red called Inferno (which I’d say is also a true red).
Dont be sorry you are a little late lol at least you turned up and i do actually have those colours now in my collection as someone else suggested them and I love their pigments 😘
Are you talking about primary red? In my opinion, primary red is the only perfect red. When I was younger, I didn't really know what to call it, so I just called it red--red or true red, or pure red. The mold you just held up at the beginning of this video, didn't show up that way on my screen. I don't know if that is the fault of my device or what, but it looked more like Salmon on my screen. I ordered a red shower curtain liner online one time, and what I got, also looked more like Salmon. It is the same color as your mold looks on my screen, but they called it red, too.
Yes the mould I held up was definitely primary red 😀😀 not salmon. It’s funny how we accept what we see on our screens to be true isn’t it? Sorry if it confused you as I didn’t think about giving it a proper title like that 👍❤️
@@Toonpish I never said it WAS salmon, I just said it looked like salmon, on my screen the first time you held it up at the beginning of the video. Later in the video, it did look more like primary red. But, I wrote my comment before that. I am perfectly aware that different devices can render colors differently from other devices, and sometimes lighting can also effect how the color looks on video. I never assumed that it was the color it looked to me at that time, I was just telling you what I saw on my end. In this particular case, it was probably a lighting issue, because the first time I saw it, you were holding it up in the air, and then later it was laying flat on the table. It did look more like primary red when laying on the table. I checked Amazon right after that to see if I could find some called primary red, and I didn't see any.
I really appreciate your comment and sorry if I sounded abrupt, it wasn’t my intention. Perhaps the lighting did make a difference 🤷♀️ it is quite bright when I stand in front of the camera. Thank you for your comment 😀 It is appreciated ❤️
@@Toonpish 7 and 11 were the two I didn’t see any pink in,,, but I’m colorblind too, so there ya go! lol… I wish eye candy would make a mica in the same shade they have done in their pigment paste… that is the best red I think I have ever seen…
LOL hon, who knows? I’ve already forgotten what I said 5 minutes ago. Just wait until you get this old. 🤷♀️ Well,…. I could watch it over when I get the chance because now it’s going to drive me nuts. Haha.
🤔🤔🤔 I don’t make moulds but I am selling a few inlays on the website. Perhaps I need to sort out my Amazon shop for the USA a bit better 🤔🤔 Thank you for this 😀😀👍

There are some micas that do the same for me but it’s really down to the brand. Have you tried sieving it?
Or maybe putting it in a pestle and mortar?
I do think the idea of mixing it in a small cup is a good thing to do.
That’s about the advice I can give.
I hope you can sort it out ❤️❤️
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll try anything at this point.
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned these true reds in the comments. I’m a bit late seeing this video.
There are a couple of true reds from Fluid Art Co. They are from the This Little Piggy line. Their true red is called Maraschino, and they also have a bright red called Inferno (which I’d say is also a true red).
Dont be sorry you are a little late lol at least you turned up and i do actually have those colours now in my collection as someone else suggested them and I love their pigments 😘
Are you talking about primary red? In my opinion, primary red is the only perfect red. When I was younger, I didn't really know what to call it, so I just called it red--red or true red, or pure red. The mold you just held up at the beginning of this video, didn't show up that way on my screen. I don't know if that is the fault of my device or what, but it looked more like Salmon on my screen. I ordered a red shower curtain liner online one time, and what I got, also looked more like Salmon. It is the same color as your mold looks on my screen, but they called it red, too.
Yes the mould I held up was definitely primary red 😀😀 not salmon.
It’s funny how we accept what we see on our screens to be true isn’t it?
Sorry if it confused you as I didn’t think about giving it a proper title like that 👍❤️
@@Toonpish I never said it WAS salmon, I just said it looked like salmon, on my screen the first time you held it up at the beginning of the video. Later in the video, it did look more like primary red. But, I wrote my comment before that. I am perfectly aware that different devices can render colors differently from other devices, and sometimes lighting can also effect how the color looks on video. I never assumed that it was the color it looked to me at that time, I was just telling you what I saw on my end. In this particular case, it was probably a lighting issue, because the first time I saw it, you were holding it up in the air, and then later it was laying flat on the table. It did look more like primary red when laying on the table. I checked Amazon right after that to see if I could find some called primary red, and I didn't see any.
I really appreciate your comment and sorry if I sounded abrupt, it wasn’t my intention.
Perhaps the lighting did make a difference 🤷♀️ it is quite bright when I stand in front of the camera.
Thank you for your comment 😀
It is appreciated ❤️
2 & 8 have an orange twang… had to put my special glasses on to see your colors… otherwise I was seeing a whole lot of "browns" lol…
Aww that’s so cool you can see red now though 😀😀❤️
@@Toonpish yeah, I got a pair of the lenses for Christmas… being able to see color fo for real was surreal…
I remember you saying about it 😀😀 it’s fantastic 👍❤️
I do hope one day they make glasses for dyslexia 🤨😂❤️
@@Toonpish omg me too!!! That would be awesome if that could be done…
Wouldn’t it 😀😀😀😀👍❤️
I’ve been looking for a real red mica powder too. Haven’t found it yet! 🇦🇺
It’s hard isn’t it 🤨 I’m happy at the moment 😀😀👍❤️
WTRCSV - rolls off the tongue.
If only 😂😂😂
Great video , that’s what I was going to say 😂❤
😂😂 thanks Geraldine 😀😀❤️👍
The only red I found was the liquid from vuba
Yeah I agree with that but I wanted a mica of a similar colour 😀😀❤️👍
I wonder if you mixed 7 & 11 together …. I bet that would work….
Possibly 🤔🤔🤔 I think it was a little pink though 🤔🤔
Thank you for watching Zippy 😀❤️
@@Toonpish 7 and 11 were the two I didn’t see any pink in,,, but I’m colorblind too, so there ya go! lol… I wish eye candy would make a mica in the same shade they have done in their pigment paste… that is the best red I think I have ever seen…
Yeah I’m guessing it’s not as easy as we expect it to be 😂😂
So sad, the Fluorescent Red from Bay Essence soap company doesn't ship to US.
Oh no 😞😱 try searching fluorescent red mica on Amazon 🤷♀️😳 you might find something similar 🤞🤞🤞🤞
What are you calling shimmer though?
Not sure I understand the question 🤷♀️🤔💜
LOL hon, who knows? I’ve already forgotten what I said 5 minutes ago. Just wait until you get this old. 🤷♀️ Well,…. I could watch it over when I get the chance because now it’s going to drive me nuts. Haha.
Shimmer is the shiny almost glittery effect that many micas have.
Finding a true red is so hard to do I've never found one
For now Toni I’m content at least 😀😀😀 thanks for commenting it’s really appreciated 👍❤️
❤
😀😀❤️
I have this same problem with black. They all come out gunmetal and not true black
I do tend to go for liquid pigment for black as you can’t beat the black black look 😀😀 totally know how you feel 👍❤️
I use liquid for pours but sometimes you just need to dust an eye on something
Oh yeah that’s tricky 🤔 good luck 🤞
You need to find a good way to sell your molds in the us. In reference to your molds, not necessarily the ones in this specific video.
🤔🤔🤔 I don’t make moulds but I am selling a few inlays on the website.
Perhaps I need to sort out my Amazon shop for the USA a bit better 🤔🤔
Thank you for this 😀😀👍
#7
😀😀👍
I wonder if kool-aid powder would work
🤔🤔 I’ve no idea what that is 😂😂 but if you try it, let me know 👍😀
1st 🤣🤣😁😁
Again 😂😂😂
Is there an address where people can send you samples of various reds? I realize you find one, but this was entertaining. 😂
If you contact me via my email or website we could chat 😀😀❤️
Thanks Kindra 😀😀❤️
