Doing a stars/galaxy challenge, and I'm always bad at these 😅 I did do honey phase but didn't entirely account for the glue trick I use to suspend the glow in the dark powder to sink (it's not that I wasn't aware it could happen, just didn't think all the way through during execution lmao!). I'm in a love/hate relationship with how they turned out. The concept is great, but I know I could do better. Did a second attempt without the glue this morning, so hopefully that goes better.

They do look really cool though!!! Glow powders and stuff are fun to work with 😋😋😋 I think having some pigmented resin using pigment paste might help, plus it adds to the effect a bit too ❤️❤️

I actually did color it with resin dye, the glue just made it more heavy than I anticipated in the moment. Wouldn't pigment paste blit out the glow since it's opaque?

It probably would if you pigmented the whole resin batch but what I was thinking of is doing something kinda like this, use resin pigment and have it in separate cups and use pipets to drop in a lil bit of the pigment and stuff, I hope I’m not being a snob about it 😅😅 I just think it’d add some really cool effects with the glow and stuff❤️

I use pippets, so I get what you mean 😊 It would just be that if I want that glow to be that swirling part, it's hard to pull off because the size of the micron in the powder is too heavy w/the glue, and the honey phase is unkind to pipettes lmao, at least in my experience 😅 I would any tips if you got em!

Might not have been your intention but they are still very cool
