Hey! Love the cornstarch idea; I'm going to try it! If you want the mold cure even faster and be as stable as caulk alone, you can simply wash the cure extender out of it. You need to start with 100% silicone caulk (not the kind that is supposed to be touchable in 3 hours or less; the kind that is the original simple 24 hour cure) and Sunlight dish soap (don't know why sunlight works best). Get a bowl of water, add a bunch of soap (you don't want suds, just add the soap directly to the bowl of water once you've already poured it), squeeze caulk into the bowl and mush it in your hands for 1-2 minutes until it starts to hold its shape. Then just use it to create your mold. This is the technique I use when teaching intro sculpture classes at university; it produces pro-quality molds at next-to-no cost!
+Cindy Baker WOW Thank you so much I am going to try that! I would love to do a vide3o on it if it works for me successfully as long as you dont mind! I appreciate the input! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for supporting me all this time. I appreciate you watching my video and leaving a comment, you can find these little things if you search nail art or 3-D resin nail art. You can find them on Amazon or eBay some nail stores online might have some. And you can even find some cute little 3-D things that are small enough in Michael’s that have a flat back. Enjoy.❤
I would love any designer logos you have like the channel or LV ! That would be so awesome. Your so smart to have thought of this 💋 Ps the uv gels are all I use in my silicon molds. It works perfect
This is an awesome idea. I am gonna try it. I am self taught for acrylic nails. Now that I've got my techniques down I'm all about the bling and add-ons. Thanks soooo much. I have a ton of buttons that would look so cute on acrylics.
If you're not already you should have an etsy store and sell them. Make moulds to order and sell or sell the items you make in the moulds. Genius idea :0) x
OMG, you're awesome Doddi! I can't believe you created the putty for the molds! I'm gonna try that when I run out of my amazing putty! OMG girl, you're gonna put them out of business! lol. Thnx so much for sharing this discovery! Take care hun ;)
Just a suggest... if the acrylic is curved at the back with the sides being higher than the middle and or pressing the center back of the nail art will help it sit on the curve of the nail more easily. Love your idea. Have subbed and put this video on a list of mine. Thanks!
Hello. I know I'm late to the game and haven't read all the remarks. Try using silicone 1. Believe it's less brittle than silicone 2. It does smell though. I haven't tried this yet but will within the week. Doing my RUclips research. :) GOOD LUCK!
TFS This is such a great idea. But where did you get the resin pieces? I have been looking for hello kitty pieces everywhere. You should add this to your website and sell them.
Okay so far this is the best diy mold vid I've seen. I haven't tried it just yet but the cornstarch makes sense. Can u share how u painted in the pinkish hello kitty? Thank u!
Hi PinkLadyNailDesigns Great idea, I think I will try making my own mounds, when I do get round to it, I will let you know how they come out, thanks for uploading this video x
Hi PinkLady. So I tried making 2 molds. At first, I thought I hadtoo much corn starch. Then realized it wasn't enough. They I finally created a ball, placed my items to mold. When it dried, I removed them. Then the mold broke And like crumbles. Is that from too much corn starch? Have u ever had that problem
yes too much corn starch. It really doesnt need to be worked too much, I will try to get a good way to measure , since alot of people are having this issue.
You might have bought the acrylic caulking instead of the silicone ( I did that at first same problem ) don't give up after you get the hang of it it's a lot of fun
LOVE this!! Seriously - this is great. Sorry, but I'm SO doing this with the skulls that you're sending to me (FX it gets her today like it did last time!) :) SUPER excited to try! Plus, my hubby is really artistic, so he might be able to make something out of modeling clay and make a mold from there.
I LOVE this idea and I can't wait to try it!! honey, can you tell me about how much silicone to how much starch? do I just squeeze some onto wax paper then add the starch? H and L for you!! :)
Pour a pile of starch onto the wax paper, and then squeeze like a Quarter sized pile of silicone onto it then work it until it isnt sticking to your finger, and the consistency of clay, a very very soft clay.
love this idea.. will try.. I'm going too watch ur video again BC I want too buy a couple of resin pieces from you, if your willing too sell some so I can make my own molds... hugs
hehe I know! I will still sell each mold if someone asks me, I dont get many requests for molds though! Check out my glitter store thoughfor glitter and nail art I have for sale, glitterlovers . com.
hi I have a question, would you be willing to make me some nail molds, that I can buy from you?? the problem is for me I don't have little objects to put inside the molds lol
yes you have to go to your panel on the left side from the mobile app and to inbox, then compose or you can simply go to my page, in the about secrtion and message. I will send you a message first if you like, or you can simply email me at: glitterlovers@optonline.net

No, of course I don't mind! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Oh, be sure to keep your hands a little wet/soapy while youte working with the caulk so it doesn't stick to your hands.

www.glitterlovers.com
This is an awesome idea, TFS sweetie!
So how much corn starch did you use to mix together?
it all goes by feel when it stops sticking to you , your good! Don't add too much so that they get brittle. you'll have to get a feel for it.
wow im so trying it
YAY! Let me know how it comes out :) Thanks for watching!
Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing
My pleasure thank you for watching!
hi I saw this video and I was looking for a filp flop nail art and a few others. Do you still have the one you used in the video?
Hi PinkLady.
So I tried making 2 molds. At first, I thought I hadtoo much corn starch. Then realized it wasn't enough. They I finally created a ball, placed my items to mold. When it dried, I removed them. Then the mold broke And like crumbles. Is that from too much corn starch?
Have u ever had that problem
yes too much corn starch. It really doesnt need to be worked too much, I will try to get a good way to measure , since alot of people are having this issue.
Ok. I saw other vids saying u can add a bit of oil. I will experiment. Thanks
You might have bought the acrylic caulking instead of the silicone ( I did that at first same problem ) don't give up after you get the hang of it it's a lot of fun
I bought the right one. I've already learned how to make it and have been making it. Thanks

Hi pink Lady!
I have a question, what is acrylic?
Acrylic is a monomer and polymer mix used on nail enhancements :)
LOVE this!! Seriously - this is great. Sorry, but I'm SO doing this with the skulls that you're sending to me (FX it gets her today like it did last time!) :) SUPER excited to try! Plus, my hubby is really artistic, so he might be able to make something out of modeling clay and make a mold from there.
I'm SURE I'll still spend a TON on glitter with you though :) lol.
hahaha! Thanks hun Enjoy!!!
very creative why do the molds look yellow?...tfs
Im not sure it is something that happens when you ut the corn starh in maybe because the silicone I am using is clear and not the white one.
Thank you for sharing! I would love to find a hello kitty bow mold
I LOVE this idea and I can't wait to try it!!
honey, can you tell me about how much silicone to how much starch?
do I just squeeze some onto wax paper then add the starch?
H and L for you!!
:)
Pour a pile of starch onto the wax paper, and then squeeze like a Quarter sized pile of silicone onto it then work it until it isnt sticking to your finger, and the consistency of clay, a very very soft clay.
Thanks for the info, hon!!
i'll let you know how it turns out!
:)
Such a great idea. Love the mold. How much would you sell a mold like a Christmas one? Also, Tfs.
HI Thanks for watching hun! I sell them for 2$ for single molds and 4 for the cluster ones ( more then 4 items on the mold) Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful glitter love it. how much would shipping be for three of your one dollar glitters?
Shipping is one flat rate no matter what you buy, in the USA its 6.45
ok thought it was by weight of item lol
Where do I buy the acrylic
you can buy acrylic in Sally's Beauty supply store, you can also use polymer clay in these molds.
Thank you so much!
