Hi I'm Wendy a resin artist and crafter.
In this video I am showing you the differences between Chameleon flakes and powders.
After having a couple of conversations recently with fellow crafters who had got completely confused with the flakes, I decided to show you the differences.
Although they both do the same things, they also do different things and the effects are different. so I purchased a box of both types from Let's resin (on Amazon) and have put together a video showing the colours in the packs and the effects they create.
When I was learning all this, I would have loved to see this video. So I really hope you enjoy it and hope it inspires you to get creative. I have linked everything below for you to try this yourselves.
If you have any comments, questions or Ideas please use the comment section below and I will get back to you.
Thanks for watching
Wendy

This is a Great video and I have got both of these! And I notice right of the difference of what could be done and the flakes are so beautiful but do is the powder. The flakes just have to be used only with a brush is the difference. Thanks again for this great video

@pamlongwell8727 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. I’ve used both flakes and powder, but never side by side like you did. Nice to see the difference side by side. I love the flakes but you are so right, hard to work with. One tip for anyone using them. Static is the enemy!😄 when using flakes, I make sure to have a dryer sheet right beside me. I wipe my hand, brush, mold, and container before opening it. It’s not perfect, but cuts down the “flying flake” effect somewhat. Thanks again for your great videos.

@Toonpish 2 года назад

That’s a great tip Pam 👍 I know about the static but never thought of doing anything about it 😂😂😂 Thank you so much 😀👍❤️

@pamgillum5689 2 года назад

That’s a great idea. I do that when hand sewing to keep thread from knitting.

@happymomma06 2 года назад

When I use chameleon flakes I use Aileen tack it over and over on my molds. I do 2 thin coats, let it dry and it works beautifully.

@suegore5929 2 года назад

I didn't see much of the chameleon effect with the powders, bummer! The flakes are great, but I think using masks and glasses is important as they do fly everywhere and you don't want to breathe that it! Thank you for doing the comparison!

@Toonpish 2 года назад

Thanks Sue. Yes the static is real 😮 The powders are colour changing but not as dramatic and some are better than others. Appreciate your comment Sue 😀👍

@suegore5929 2 года назад

@@Toonpish I suggested to others to wipe down the area in the mold with a fabric softener before brushing.

@mackyd955 Месяц назад

just starting. Do you put a mold release on before putting the powder on the mold?

@Toonpish Месяц назад

You don’t have to. It does protect your moulds a little bit. But if you do, wait for it to completely soak in and dry 😀😀💜👍

@clarewardrope2413 2 года назад

Hi Wendy. As you know I am a huge Let's Resin fan and I do have both of the sets you have used. I'm thinking of using the flakes in my resin rather than on the mold? Thank you for sharing X

@Toonpish 2 года назад

Hi Clare, did you see the bit in the video where I did that? You could use the flakes in resin with anything colour, such as white which would show them up. But it would be more like glitter There is a comment about mixing flakes with isopropyl alcohol. I’ve not tried that so no idea if it works 🤷‍♀️ Hope that helps Clare 😀😀😀👍

@clarewardrope2413 2 года назад

@@Toonpish I went back for another look. I'm so glad I did. The flakes are stunning, however too pricey to use just mixed with resin. I think you would have to use the whole jar to make it effective. Oh are you gonna try the isoproply alcohol? I'd love to see how that would work. Thank's again Wendy xx

@Toonpish 2 года назад

I have had a little play, will see how it goes lol😀

@lorrainea4185 2 года назад

I saw someone else use gold leaf glue before using the flakes.

@Toonpish 2 года назад

you don't need to use glue on a silicone mould as it has a surface the flakes stick to. But if you are putting them on cured resin or another surface you will need something to stick them with. Hope that helps

@cheriepeterson8187 Год назад

Can u use the flakes as eyeshadow? I already have the chameleon powder and I pressed them down making a pressed eyeshadow in tin. And there GORGEOUSS!! BUTT I been eyeing the flakes for some time and wanted to see if I could wear as eyeshadow??

🤔 well I have no idea about safety 🤷‍♀️ But they definitely stick to skin. Why not ask Let’sResin if it would be safe for use 😀😀😀 Sorry I can’t help any further 😀❤️

@martymar1 4 месяца назад

Which 1 gives the a shimmer look? Where did u buy it? Does the flakes rub off?

@Toonpish 4 месяца назад

Shimmer as in dual colour? They both do. Neither rubs of as they are attached to the resin. Could wear off over time like anything would. Patina You can buy both from Let’sResin
