This was a coaster I was using to test out some metallic alcohol inks . I had some extra white from the blooms I was doing. I put a few drops of ink directly onto the mold then I poured in the white in a spiral , the resin was thick enough at that point to hold the spiral shape and that’s what created the backside. It reminds me of the starry skies painting . The frontside is just abstract alcohol inks . I really love this one . The fact that it could be reversible is cool . I want to make more and I’m already trying but I know the backsides didn’t turn out because I didn’t wait for the resin to thicken up . 🤣 the fronts will still look cool. I did it in a couple layers and it created a slight 3d effect . I really want to replicate this and make a set but it might just be a happy mistake that can’t be replicated .

I got some resin dye in my rfy a while back . It’s been very nice ! I’m still completely obsessed with these resin . I usually lose interest after a while . Still going strong with these !

It’s not 0$ etv but it’s exactly what I needed . I have some regular pigments but I’ve used quite a bit of them. I just bought new alcohol inks and a big set of mica powders but I needed more pigment ink ! . This set has opaque colors and shimmers! I’m super excited. Neons . Plus it my favorite brand that I use . This is the resin and mold brand I tend to use the most

I have pumped out fail after fail . I decided to start playing with the mics powders and doing other things . I got some medium tray molds and some little bowl molds, some more coasters ( flowers with flower holder) and some new alcohol ink with some metallics , I’ve felt a bit blocked recently but I do love the coaster set and the trinket dishes . Oh ya ! I also got a bigger mixing cup ! My dad’s friend wants the same Seahawks coasters I made for my dad . He provided the vinyl stickers .i had the day off and I wasted the whole day being blocked and debating on doing a bloom with or without color or a marble pour. I have some pearls in the rim of one of the oval trays. I think that would be beautiful with white blooms. I also have a ton of temporary tattoos that I want to test out and see how they work .

They all look the same to me . I clicked on a lot of them and I can’t see any type of difference in the coloring . Are they actually different and I’m just missing it ?

The holders for the coasters . It’s my new favorite thing. My coasters didn’t turn out so great but I’m having fun with the molds for sure , the gold leaf and clear in the legs so the colors can drip down creating that upside down lava lamp effect . It’s beautiful. My favorite flower coaster mold is too big for any holders that I have . I want to keep doing blooms but I’ve tried them in the smaller coaster shapes and it’s just not the same , or maybe it’s just me , who knows . I made the perfect bloom and then made like 3 sets of fails afterwards 😆 it’s so incredibly addicting but I need to start making wins instead of fails , I’m happy with the holders and the blue and pink with gold in the center , but the blooms an td the purple ones and maybe ones just aren’t right … going to keep at it

They are both very similar. The first 4 are hair cube and then the next 4 are luwila. I really love these coloring on both but I think the luwila color is just stunning . I love the cut and thick bangs on both . I still need to trim them slightly but these are no fuss wigs , just throw on and go

Yes, these are definitely going to be variants but I tried the ohora press ons recently and I liked them quite a bit . They are more like the kiss nails, thin but flexible and they stay on a long time . .

It’s a 60$ human hair wig , I forget why they do this again , all the other wig options have the same crazy face s and messed up hair

I also made my dad some Seahawks coasters.!!! I finally figured out that it wasn’t me adding too much white pigment , it all came down to the thickness of the resin . I always thought that if I waited until it got thicker that it wouldn’t bloom as well . I was completely backwards. I went to make a set lastnight with the holder , I did a light pink mica shimmer around the outside and the blooms in the middle but after I made the mica mix and poured my clear I realized I forgot to leave some for the white so I had to make an extra new bit so they were at different thickness levels. Not sure how those will turn out , I put gold leaf into the holder legs and I wanted that part clear then the shimmery pink on the bottom but the pink started dripping down into the clear pegs giving g it an upside down lava lamp effect , I still need to put the dark back on those . I’m a little bummed at how the mics spread out everywhere, I was hoping it would stick around the sides more and maybe star inwards a little . It mostly just mixed up to a shimmer pink everywhere. And I was going to do a gold flake center but I ended up just using a glitter instead . They aren’t turning out like I had thought but I don’t think they are fails either . I am really really excited about these coaster containers though! ! 😆😆 I definitely think I want to make jars and little containers

This was a few days ago . I am so excited!!!! I didn’t know what the scent was and then when I found out it was cotton candy I just about lost it 😆 it’s one of my favorite scents ! I’m impatiently waiting for a delivery update. It’s an order received type of deal right now. I haven’t been posting much lately , my scores are just a lot of Halloween nails . I did get a hand/wrist rest with. Phone holder for doing nails though. I got some codiale skincare which is very nice but I have never heard of the brand . Not many new wigs . I did get a cute set of morovan fall nail polish with some brown, orange, burgundy, copper, and green gold multichrome . I’m not ready to go fall yet though .

I’ll get it down eventually. I’m glad I at least got a few that look nice enough. I really would like to get it down though. It’s crazy how different they turn out . I keep trying to do the rose where you make little curved dashes all around but I have a hard time controlling the white paste/resin . Even with a piping bag. I see people just use the small wooden stick to do it and they get these perfect little c shapes but mine are just blobs . I think I was supposed to do one big swirl after that too which I forgot. The ones that are more like stars rather than flowers, I think I drew the lines going outwards but didn’t draw the lines going inwards to drag it down . I always feel so panicked . I need to stop making the swirl on the inside so big too but overall , the first pic is my favorite, not so much the colors but the design and bloom is really nice . I like the first 4 but I consider the others fails. . It’s still super fun though .

If anyone has any tips or suggestions, I’d love to hear them !

I’m just experimenting , still new to resin . It’s so much fun !!! I can’t seem to get the flower bloom down again , I did it once and I haven’t been able to do it again , the blue and pink ones got close this time but only half the coaster has visible petals and the other half seemed to be too light ? I’m not sure , the flowers have glitter in them . Some iridescent chunks , the last 2 were just alcohol ink and some sinker white , I wanted to see what happens. It doesn’t look very good on the other side , lots of little dots .

Wow !!! I get a lot of nails , we all know this but lately I picked up my packages and It was immediately a little anticlimactic when opening my packages , I see the nails and think they are ok but not exciting… then later I get home and I realize those aren’t the nails I was expecting 🤦🏻‍♀️ and not only did it happen with the first set, 2nd set from another company but also just happened now with the 3rd set ! ! All different companies . I was looking forward to these ones ( y2k blue silver ) 3 times in a row ? That’s just weird. 😆

A little off topic . I have my son and his adoptive parents coming to visit and I usually get them a gift every year . I decided to go homemade this time . I had coaster molds I got from vine and I went for it . The first ones were the crinkled metallic and those were a fail because it’s way harder to put smooth folds and crinkles into resin with Saran Wrap 🤣 then I made the beach coasters , they turned out pretty good the 2nd time. I messed up by not mixing the white paste with resin first before I did the waves . A little trial and error with the white paste . I still need to buy a heat gun . Then I moved onto the flower bloom . I made a really good first flower and then I haven’t been able to make a good one again but let me tell you what …. This is addicting!!!! I have so many ideas and I have gotten a handful of molds through vine. I’m still stuck on the coasters but I have a lot of ideas for what’s next . . I went to make the big flower to turn it into a bowl but I didn’t make enough resin so I had to do it in layers and now it’s a flat tray 🤷🏻‍♀️ as much as I love this, I don’t want to have a huge pile of “ fails “ I recently discovered you can put temporary tattoos on the molds and resin also which is super cool . I just grabbed some butterfly tattoos from the drop . I missed a really cute cake pop blow out dryer too from con air but that’s ok . It’s adorable but I don’t actually need it .

There’s even more than what’s showing . I claimed 2 of them . One that is brown with the thick side bangs and then 1 that has the wispy bangs . Actually I think I claimed 3 between yesterday and today .

I think it turned out pretty great!! The flowers are fairly easy too . This was a last minute thing. I had a little extra clear left and just a tiny bit after to make the white . I can’t believe it turned out so good . Only a couple heavy white spots . This is so exciting!!!!! I’m going to end up spending so much money on resin 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m really happy with the beach coasters! I need to add another layer to fill cover up the shells though . I’m also not sure how the white pigment will turn out , I did blow waves but I can’t see them very much . We will see . These photos are the bottom of them. I put gold foil on the other ones without sand . I should have left those clear maybe , My first attempt was the crushed velvet 🤣🤣 that’s way harder than it looks and I definitely failed but it was still cool , I just found another way to do the same folded velvet and I think the next try will be a lot better. . I was thinking instead of doing a folded method , why not indent or carve out a design with clay carving tools ? A cool mosaic with the mica chameleon powder . I have a bunch of old jewelry and pendants I’d like to encase in a coaster. . This is so exciting . I think I like the epoxy resin better than the uv resin , I’ve barely played with both but now that I have . I have so many ideas!

I don’t remember what wigs were in the last show! Anyways here’s some wigs 🤣

I’ll post more later , I think I got 13 pairs this time , I love the Halloween ones so much ! I have a hoodie that has these skeleton hands on the chest area . Love it so much !
