This is amazing! Im gonna make a ton of these! Just a side note i actually find glow in the dark nail polish to glow a lot better. I painted stars on my lamp shade over 10 years ago and it still glows!
ReplyDeleteWell Im a Guy I dont use nail polish but i could come up with a few projects with Glow in dark nail polish
Deletethe star on lamp shade sounds awesome But Im thinking Bigger like on the ceiling or a poster
thats because it is being charged bye the lamp
DeleteIt's amazing to finger-paint with on walls ~ I did the hallway from our kitchen to our front door & it looks like a neolithic cave painting when it glows...Best part is you save electricity, too ~

DeleteWhat brand of glow paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteThe Brand does not matter they are all pretty much the same
DeleteDoesn't it get a bit crowded sticking your brush and hand in there to make those pretty designs. Makes me wonder how, for example, the swirls came out so well?

DeleteYou paint the jar slowly, do one color, let it dry, do the next and so on.

ReplyDeleteThese paints are all strontium aluminate. Very safe, non radioactive. The color of the particular paint is determined by the trace elements present. Some colors, like red, only glow a short time. Others, like blue, glow for hours. It's not recommended to mix the colors together. That generally results in indistinct mud. It's better to buy the secondary colors you want rather than try to mix them from primaries.
