The coolest result of my fun was seeing what happened with the glow in the dark powder I used. To see some really pretty results, watch the resin fun video that I just uploaded minutes ago!

Hello everyone! Hope you have been creating in whatever way shape or form you prefer. Today, I want to share a video tutorial, a very simple one at that - about how to make some very simple and beautiful polymer clay beads. Beautiful because they are textural (click here to see my previous articles on making texture plates and rollers) and enhanced with pigment powders. Since I adore chrome chameleon nail art powders and flakes, that what I used. As well as, the forever tried and true, mica powders. If you don't have these powders, you can use sparkly eye shadows. Just don't use them on your eyes after.

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a very creative day. This has been something I have wanted to share for along time. I was so excited to discover These powders on Ebay.ca, that I ended up ordering a little here and there - meant it took a while for them all to arrive. In fact, when I get crazy about a newly discovered art making medium like that, I ended up with doubles and extras. Which is fine, because a lot of them were more sample sizes anyway. And trust me, This powders And flakes Are just so stunning, You kind of want all that you can get - In every color that is.
Once again, The nail art world, Impacts the polymer clay world. As many polymer clay artists will tell you, worlds definitely collide when it comes to polymer clay surface techniques. If you saw my actual fingernails, Oh wait you can when you watch my videos, You will see Just how awful my fingernails are. So clearly I don't buy nail art "Stuff" For My actual nails.
These powders are called mirror chrome powders, as well I've heard the term Chameleon used as well. The names may vary depending on who is selling them. As you will see in the video below, I have three of the same color, but each of them are a different "Powder." In fact one is an amazing Flake version, Another is a coarser grind called glitter powder (Reminds me of ultrafine glitter), And the other is the chrome powder (Reminds me of mica powder.) Now I do not think that These are mica powder based, If you know anything more about it please let me know. Because of the flake options, I think it might be synthetically made. Doesn't matter, There stunningly gorgeous.
Why So gorgeous?
Because depending on how the light hits the surface, You actually have two colors in one. I did the best that I can, to show that in the video below. It's tricky trying to capture the amazing Effects With my camera, But I think you get the idea.
