Two brand new hair videos coming your way !

For this week's videos I decided to focus on my hair. Taking some time to take good care of it and practice my braiding skills.

In this video I try a wig hack I found on TikTok. The silicone and and adore 10 mix allegedly helps to soften and restore old wigs so I tested it out.

Your nails look so pretty! If you don't mind me asking, I've never mixed nail polish colors before but now I really want to. Is it that you later them on top of eachother, or do you actually mix the liquids before applying? And if you mix the liquids, do you pour them into some other container? How do you know how much to use? Do you use an eye dropper or some other kind of tools? What do you stir them with? Sorry that this is a lot of questions 😅

Omg... It's less complicated than you're thinking! It basically goes like this for me, for when I want to make myself a Whole bottle of a color: I'll use a not-new bottle of polish with a base color I don't really like. I had a bottle of bright yellow that I didn't really like the formula, and I didn't really wear the color. Then I just kinda. reach for other polishes and pour them directly into the bottle! arbitrary amounts at a time. For the goldenrod color, I used some really bright orange, a couple drops of black, some neutral jelly polish and a few drops of white. I also normally add some drops of polish thinner, if the polish has thickened, but it's optional tbh. As far as mixing it together in a nice homogenous way, most nail polish has a couple of small steel balls in the bottle, specifically to mix the polish up! So, if you're shaking up a bottle of polish and you hear clicking, that's what that sound is. I just shake the shit out the bottle until the color evens out, and I swatch it a few times, adding more drops of polish until it turns into the color I want. tl;dr you just pour the polish all in the bottle. But for very small batches, you can buy miniature nail polish bottles for really cheap!

Just realized something about my experiment.

[artificer-dice]

Sometimes I feel like I have to reassure myself that I actually do know what I'm doing, I'm just sometimes trying something new, am just out of practice, or made a probably admittedly dumb mistake.

Imposter syndrome hits hard when things don't work right but the fact that I'm experienced enough to know what went wrong to fix it in the future or know a way to fix that mistake should also mean something.

The Ultimate Guide to Epoxy Resin and Hardener: Tips for Beginners in Resin Art

If you're interested in exploring your creative side and diving into the world of resin art, you're in the right place! Epoxy resin is a popular medium that can be transformed into stunning artwork, functional home decor, and more. This guide will help you understand the basics of epoxy resin and hardener, and provide tips to get you started with your own resin art projects.

What is Epoxy Resin?

Epoxy resin is a versatile material known for its durability, high-gloss finish, and ability to bond with various surfaces. It's a two-part epoxy system consisting of the resin itself and a hardener. When these two components are mixed, they undergo a chemical reaction that causes the mixture to harden, forming a solid and clear material.

Understanding Epoxy Resin and Hardener

The key to successful resin art lies in understanding the role of epoxy resin and hardener. The resin is a liquid polymer that requires a hardener to cure, or solidify. This curing process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the type of resin used and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

When selecting an epoxy resin, it's essential to choose a high-quality product designed specifically for art projects. The ratio of resin to hardener is typically 1:1 or 2:1, but it's crucial to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.

Getting Started with Resin Art

Resin art is an exciting way to create beautiful and unique pieces. Here are some basic steps to help you get started:

1. Gather Your Supplies

To begin, you'll need a resin art kit, which usually includes epoxy resin and hardener, mixing cups, stir sticks, gloves, and a surface to work on. You may also want to have resin pigment powder or liquid dyes on hand to add color to your creations.

2. Choose a Work Area

Resin can be messy, so it's essential to have a well-ventilated workspace, preferably with a flat, level surface. Cover your work area with a plastic sheet or disposable tablecloth to protect it from spills.

3. Mix Your Epoxy Resin and Hardener

Start by measuring the appropriate ratio of epoxy resin and hardener, as indicated by the manufacturer. Pour both parts into a mixing cup and stir slowly for 3-5 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the cup to ensure thorough mixing. Bubbles may form during this process, but don’t worry – you can remove them later using a heat gun or a torch.

4. Add Resin Pigment Powder

Once your epoxy resin is thoroughly mixed, you can add resin pigment powder or liquid dyes to achieve your desired color. Start with a small amount, as a little goes a long way. Mix well until the color is evenly distributed. You can use multiple colors to create unique patterns and effects.

5. Pour and Create Your Art

Now comes the fun part – pouring the resin! Pour the colored epoxy resin onto your chosen surface, such as a wooden panel or canvas. You can use different techniques, like swirling, layering, or dragging, to create various patterns. Experiment with different tools, like sticks or spatulas, to manipulate the resin and achieve the effect you want.

Tips for Working with Two-Part Epoxy

Working with two-part epoxy can be a bit challenging at first, but these tips will help you master it in no time:

Measure Accurately: The most critical step in resin art is ensuring the correct ratio of epoxy resin and hardener. Inaccurate measurements can result in sticky or improperly cured resin.

Mix Slowly and Thoroughly: To avoid bubbles and ensure a smooth finish, mix the resin and hardener slowly and thoroughly. Stirring too quickly can introduce more air into the mixture, creating bubbles.

Use a Heat Gun or Torch: To eliminate bubbles, lightly run a heat gun or torch over the resin’s surface. Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the resin to burn or yellow.

Allow for Proper Curing Time: Patience is key when working with epoxy resin. Make sure to give your piece ample time to cure in a dust-free environment to achieve a smooth, clear finish.

Popular Resin Art Projects

There are countless ways to use epoxy resin in your creative projects. Here are a few popular ideas to inspire you:

Coasters and Trays: Create custom coasters or serving trays using epoxy resin. Add embellishments like glitter, dried flowers, or metallic flakes to make your pieces unique.

Jewelry: Epoxy resin is perfect for making unique jewelry pieces like pendants, earrings, or rings. Use molds to shape the resin and add pigments or small decorative items to create stunning accessories.

Geode Art: Mimic the appearance of natural geodes by layering resin with different colors, metallic powders, and crystals. This type of resin art is incredibly popular and makes for eye-catching wall decor.

Conclusion

Epoxy resin art offers endless possibilities for creativity. With the right tools, techniques, and a bit of practice, you can create beautiful, personalized pieces that showcase your unique style. Whether you're making functional items like coasters or diving into intricate geode art, the key is to have fun and enjoy the process!

Ok actually I don't know what I was scared of?? That wasn't bad. Thank you beautiful toothpick so I could control the resin flow better :) I'm gonna let it cure for a few minutes, then let it set for several hours (both bc I'm so scared of it fucking up if I move it too soon + we are making the black forest cake soon :3) and then I'll update... I think rly the main things I learned is that it is hard as shit to make a 10 mm eye look good. The pupils are so so hard to get round oh my god. I think weirdly the big eyes I'm gonna have to do aren't gonna be bad at all other than getting them even and positioned right. And most of all be so brave about everything ever
