DIY Iridescent Crystals (using what you have at home!)

In this tutorial, we're using science and simple materials to create faux crystals or minerals. You possibly already have everything you need at home - and if not, the materials can be borrowed or bought for cheap.
For these crystals you will need no borax, no salt and no fancy materials. You could even call it a little science experiment, so it's great for when you're bored at home or want to try something new.
I had a lot of fun myself and found the rainbows that were created quite mesmerizing.

really Amazing 1. How long does the effect last? 2. Does touching it damage the texture? And can it be protected over time? Thanks.

@Randomona 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Good questions. The effect can last quite long, but it depends on the material. I think it lasts specifically long on paper and stones. On aluminium foil, I think the effect can come off if it is touched a lot. But all the stones I made in the video still look shiny after 1 year! On some materials, like craft foam, it rubs off very quickly. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to protect the effect. Anything you put on top will just make the effect disappear.

I just tried it out and yes! This is really cool! I had a smooth, dark rock that I found somewhere and tadah, it is very pretty now. I will collect many more! I accidentally bought two clear nailpolishes that I hardly ever use (except for pantyhoses and broken/split nails) so I have plenty to make stuff with!

very inspiring and innovative - is there a drying time for the nail polish drop on the water surface?

Thank you! I didn't notice a certain drying time, the drop basically instantly turned into a film and stayed like that. I think I would need more experiments in order to understand it better.

@essiej5229 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the fun video. I wonder if this would work with irridescent nail polish since it is already "rainbow-y". If it works on light colored rocks, I'd be so happy :)

@Randomona 11 месяцев назад

You're welcome! That's a good question, I wonder as well if that would work? It can work on light colored rocks, but it might look more pearlescent and not as vibrant. You can paint the rocks with acrylic paint, though :)

@artulovehandmade3862 10 месяцев назад

Hi 👋 I'm a new subscriber 👍 I was thinking maybe you could use UV resin to seal the rainbow colours on the rock or tin foil, it might look even better with a glossy / shiny finish 👍 looking forward to seeing more videos 😊

@Randomona 10 месяцев назад

Hey ☺️ Yay, welcome! I like your thinking! Unfortunately, I believe I can't coat the nail polish with anything because it will destroy the rainbow effect. Someone tried dropping UV resin in water, but apparently it didn't spread out like the nail polish. Thanks for watching and commenting! ❤️

@kajira63 Год назад

Brilliant idea. Can you add multiple drops to get a stronger iridescent look?

@Randomona Год назад

Thank you! Hmm, I believe it won't make the effect better because the nail polish needs space to spread out.

@kajira63 Год назад

@Randomona oh well... maybe I'll find another way :)

@thecoolestlemon Год назад

The effect can stack? Also great video. 👍

@Randomona Год назад

Thank you! :) Could you explain what you mean by "stack"?

@thecoolestlemon Год назад

@@Randomona what I mean is like the effect gets better or more intense if repeat enough times. (Sorry for bad english)

@Randomona Год назад

@@thecoolestlemon okay, I thought so! Your English is good :) The effect doesn't really stack, unfortunately. The effect looks best when it looks vibrant on the water and when you dip it in a nice part of the rainbow.

@thecoolestlemon Год назад

@@Randomona thank you for our help.

@jack-2147 5 часов назад

HELLO...I'M FROM ATHENS, GREECE....VERY NICE VIDEO...WHAT MATERIAL DID YOU THROW INTO THE WATER? ...IS IT NAIL POLISH? DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO RECOMMEND?

@Nthirank 2 месяца назад

Does it work on clear acrylic stones the one we use as aquarium decor rocks.

@Randomona 2 месяца назад

It's worth a try, but the rainbow colors probably won't stand out a lot. They stand out the most on dark rocks. So if you have dark aquarium rocks, that might be better! Especially if the rocks have texture.

@madisonkeaton634 9 месяцев назад

Do you deal it with clear polish when finished and dried???

@Randomona 9 месяцев назад

I tried it, but unfortunately it doesn't work. It cancels out the iridescent effect.

@mauricecopernic2758 10 месяцев назад

incredible this !i! but what do you use as 'clean nailpolish' is it a 'transparent nailpolish, or a nailpolish thinner ? which brand is the best ?

@Randomona 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! I used transparent nail polish. Any brand should work!

@williamclark8985 10 месяцев назад

have you tried to use natural charcoal?

@Randomona 10 месяцев назад

I haven't! I imagine the texture of the coal would be nice for this project.

@ritapachecoworld Месяц назад

Does it work on recycled glass botões?

@Randomona Месяц назад

If the glass is smooth, the effect may not be very strong.. it would probably come out more in dark bottles. I'm not sure all in all how well it would work, but it's worth a try!

@MayLina Год назад

I wonder if it will work with the nail polish that needs to be UV-light cured🤔 It will either not work at all or make a coating that is more durable! Gonna try this today, thank you for the amazing tip❤️

@Randomona Год назад

That's a great idea! Now I also wonder if it works 😆

@MayLina Год назад

@@Randomona i’ve tried, it didn’t hahaha. It doesn’t act the same way on top of water, the drop just sinks 🥲😂

@Randomona Год назад

@MayLina oh no 😆 that's a shame. Actually that happened to me too when I used too much nail polish.. maybe it would be worth trying the tiniest amount so it's not too heavy? Just in case you wanna try again 😉

@MayLina Год назад

@@Randomona that makes sense, but also my uv nail polish is so thick it was impossible to get smaller amount to for a drop! Maybe if it was thinner it would work?

@Randomona Год назад

I see! Yeah possibly? Thanks for letting me know 😊

@funboi2559 Год назад

Can we make it from an ordinary colour nailpaint

@Randomona Год назад
