I used iridescent nail art film, but you can of course use iridescent cellophane or Angelina Film and/or iridescent mylar. Not sure why it is called mylar by some, because when I think mylar, I think shiny silver foil like balloons. Not a material that is translucent. So be sure that whatever you use is translucent so the LED or UV Light rays can penetrate through, to cure the layers.

Tips And Ideas:
Tool Needed for This Cool Dimensional Technique:
💓Bezels or Bezel Tray, you can make one from polymer clay too
💓Iridescent Nail Art File, And or any translucent Iridescent Cellophane type fil or sheets that can hold a crease when crumpled and that UV/LED rays can go through.
💓Black nail polish, or black acrylic paint, or black alcohol ink (do not use Indi Ink)
💓A Silicone type craft mat to work on
💓Small craft scissors
💓A Light to cure whatever type of resins (including the gel no wipe top coat)
💓Tweezers -Make sure you have a pair of tweezers to place the pieces into the wet resin. And a toothpick or needle tool to push and manipulate the pieces around.
💓You can incorporate chameleon and chrome powders as well
💓Rubbing alcohol and baby wipes or paper towel to clean resin and such

Finishing Touches
After all the layers of resin (no wipe UV/LED top coat) and cellophane are all cured, you may notice you have some sharp pieces protruding out the to that would prevent a smooth dome from forming. The resin coated the iridescent shards and therefore can be snipped down with little sharp scissors as well as sandal. I snipped all around and then used a nail file that is for false nails. I ran it all around the raise rough spots and whatever was hanging over onto the lip of my bezels. Just enough until I could tell the UV resin I was to pour on and dome, would be able to level out and do it's job, to make a shiny smooth, glass like dome.
