put the mold on a mirror when you use the uv lamp, it helps cure the bottom,,,just a thought

Turn them over before you take them out and cure from the bottom of the mold as well. That will cure your curing problem.

Yup, I learned that the hard way tonight doing UV resin for the first time.

When I work with uv resin, I think of it like using builder gel. It's basically the same thing, after all! So if I look at the layer I'm pouring and think "that would burn my finger off if it was on my nail", I know it's too thick and I should do 2 or 3 shallower layers instead😅 I'm glad you're having so much fun with this, that makes it really fun to watch!

Yes I've learned as I've gone along how to use the uv resin! I definitely prefer to work with epoxy resin, all I really use the uv is to dome pieces!! But yes I had fun with this jewellery mould xx

Nikki this is fantastic!! Loving the resin stuff!

Love watching this and endless design options for whatever you want to make ,💗the lamp 🫶

Loving these resin videos glad you are happy with your new hobby can't wait to see what you do next 💜💜

Ooh I absolutely love resin with anything that sparkles....

Great job. I love this video. It is so much fun. Thank you for sharing this with us.

thank you Nikki, for your video. I am also learning as well and most of the videos I watched make it look so easy when it isn't. I am sure with practice we will get it down. believe it or not i was working on polymer clay last night and using a jewelry mold when some how I sprained a tendon in my top knuckle on my pointing finger. Never would have thought that could happen. LOL it bends and wont stay straight. hahaha Makes it difficult to being crafty. I love Steve McDonald's videos and Daniel Coppers videos too.

Love these videos too! So fun. They all look gorgeous 💕❄️. Xx

I have that mould. I used the leaf one to make a key ring fob for my hubby. Lol IMO resin is the next progression from nails. So much stuff can be used for both. I always turn over the mould and cure the bottom - if the mould is clear like those shown. I have even set on my deck for the sun to cure. I go through my nail stuff (polygel, polish tints glitter etc) and use ones I haven't used on my nails in resin lol. Be safe (mask/gloves) and have fun!! Steve McDonald is great fun to watch and get tips from.

Oooh clever you Nikki and it looked like loads of fun as well...the square with the hole looked very "opal" to me and I do love the snowflake one's they'd be perfect for Christmas...thankyou for sharing xo 💜💜💜

Always flip your mold over and cure 1- 2 minutes so the pieces unmold clean. I have had to learn that the hard way!😊

As a traditional resin artist, I have had tons of problems with curing UV resin. That's not to say that UV resin is bad or anything. It's just different. I'm still playing with it and when it works, it's amazingly fun. I might check out one of these kits because I LOVE resin and would love to make jewelry for family and friends. First video I've seen of yours and it was super fun and informative to watch! You're adorable! 🥰

I also love to take big “pour paint art pieces” I’ve seen, and turn them into tiny art on key chains. Gel polish is so much easier than a tons of acrylic paint getting everywhere!

I luv that ur trying different things on ur channel I've always wanted to try do resin. Ughhh watching u makes me want to try

This looks amazing fun… you did an amazing job loving these uploads tysmfs sweetie hope your well Nicki 🥰❤️

WOW Nikki those are So Beautiful 💙 You did a great job!! I really like watching your videos can't wait to see what you do next

lol that box looks exactly the same as the one i received today except different contents but still for resin x

Wow you are setting me off I do have some bits here that I already bought I am impressed

You can cure from underneath too. Just tur over the mold and run your uv light. Or take them outside in the sun for ten minutes.

Cool video Nikki. Even though I don’t do resin myself I don’t mind watching them. I often watch others doing resin too and resin pouring. 😊 I hope you don’t mind me say, I think you would probably be best to place your makes on a plain white background, because it will help to show the glitter to its full beauty. When you have a glitter backdrop and glitter items it doesn’t show up so well. You did a good job 👏🏼

Oh that’s different! The earrings may be a tad on the heavy side with acrylic! Xx

I have the same mold and it was my first try with it.. It seems so thick when you try to put the jump rings in.. I guess I over pour too. Before you take the piece out of the mold turn the mold upside down and under the uv lamp for a minute to make sure the backside hits the light. I dont know if these will sell but it I can say I felt like a kid playing with a new toy all night playing with the resin and making pretty sparkly things!

Small one would make lovely stud earrings x

I'm pretty sure you've already learned this .. but in case you don't know yet... you're supposed to cure it on the other side once the top is cured.... But it all came out beautiful..

Try adding some pigment powders you have from doing nails. UV resin great fun and quicker than epoxy. Thin layers work best. Your doing fab Nik ❤️

I think whoever was talking about a mask meant a respirator. I know those fumes are really bad for you, I'd just follow whatever directions the company has, I'm also unsure if UV resin gives off the same fumes, or if it's just the 2 part kind.

I understand the wavy appearance is if resin is to cold. I have a few like that and I am going to sand them down.

Bet you could make some Christmas baubles with some of them shapes..

Omg I was just thinking of the same thing .. would look lovely hanging from the tree !

When I was doing resin before I never wore a mask and I'm going to start doing resin again soon but I don't know if I'll wear a mask or not depends on how much ventilation I have I guess cuz I hate wearing masks

I bought a starter kit and a few supplies to get started. The first piece had bubbles. Then the second piece was pretty until I demolded too early and the inner resin was not cured & as I was taking it out these big bubbles erupted inside. Oh No....! Last night I made abalone shell earrings but failed once more. Shells too thick. Upper portion where the hole was did not fill but half way, and the black opaque backing I added, I used a heat gun to remove bubbles but I suppose it moved the resin a bit and tiny little bubble clusters seemed to streak the back. I intend to keep trying until I can create some decent earrings. Also, want to try some nail transfers. I have to wear tri-focal glasses so having bad eyes don't help. 😔

Wow nic your coming on in leaps and bounds now great video really enjoyed watching 👍😀❤️❤️xxxx

Well what I’m hearing is now I need to get a Resin kit lol, I would love to paint fish,flowers etc. In them ,sooo much fun ❤❤

You can use the cute circles as studs🙏🏽

I would put the flowers in nails. Lol X

Hi 😃 I have this mould did you find the resin shrunk inside the mould?

I'm no expert but I have heard if it doesn't cure underneath sometimes you can take a mirror or some mirror foil and put it on a bit of cardboard put it under the light when you put your mold on the light I'm not making myself understood I know put like a mirror under the mold when you put the light over top of it. Hope this made sense

😆😆 Your funny Nik!! I love how your acting like you have never seen a LED/UV lamp before in your life and its the coolest thing you have ever seen!! 😆😆 And as for the whole nail break im definitely gonna still be heartbroken.. In the last nail video i said im not into resin but ill try and still continue to watch as long as you act as your normally do bc i love your personality and also if you keep Mr.Nope man!! Weeeell Mr.Nope man made an apperience so since Mr.Nope man is here to stay then so am I!!! Hahaha thank you for that Nik!! Lol loved the jewelry hun and thanks for sharing 😁

Best thing to do is always cure both sides xx

Do we know what wattage the lamp is? I really like the butterfly earrings, they're cute.

Connect the big ones to the small ones to make 1 earing. Lots of videos on it. Steve Mcdonald has lots on earnings. I heard you mentioned his name. 🙂

What you should do and what I think would work is have a 2nd channel for the resain and the original channel for nails and see which one you love more for everyday.. I love both and want to watch both so that would be awesome... I am working up the courage to start a nail channel and to experiment with resin and some how make both loves come together... but I think 2 channels for you would work better... love you lots...

what do you do with earrings that have air bubbles? Thank you

U could add the lil ones to the big one's like on the top with the o rings and add another hole on the bottom of the lil one to add the bigger one! Lol I hope that made sense! 🤔❤

You could try and drill another hole directly under the 1st hole in the bigger square and circle ones. That way you could attach the little ones you didn't use as a dangle bit inside the bigger ones......if that makes sense lol. ❣️

What are the multiple layers of resin for? Does that help the drying process ?

Safety always first is what most KZread videos say when making resin videos. But it is hard to talk with a mask and be heard and people need to understand that. You a big girl and understand the importance. I would just always put this warning about PPE when working with resin. I don’t understand why people have to be so cruel and attack when someone is not doing what they expect. Wearing a mask and talking so people can hear and understand is very hard, hence majority of the videos are with people not wearing a mask. Like you say your room is well ventilated which is what they say if you not wearing a mask, they don’t know you, they don’t know your environment, don’t let it get to you. Keep the videos going if people don’t like the video they can jog on, no one is forcing them to watch. But I would seriously add the importance of PPE in your videos, that way you covered is someone watching choices to not wear the correct PPE. Lovely video happy resin crafting and enjoy and have fun, that’s what it’s about ❤
