DIY How do I get this look with particles that glow in the dark?
Hello everyone!
I’ve been searching Google for the best way to get this look with glow in the dark specks and I’m stumped on what to use. I know I can replicate the rainbow look with holographic glitter flakes, but I would also like to add a clear coat that has specks like this in it that glow in the dark. Problem is, most of what I’m seeing recommended are pigments that would turn the entire thing glow in the dark, but I really just want SOME of it to glow and stand out in dots the way the rainbow ones do in the picture above.
I did think of adding a clear coat with glow in the dark glitter, but I’m having a hard time finding anything that I can mix in for the scattered look that I won’t be able to see during the day. I’m making a garden trellis that I’d like to paint black with the rainbow, but have it glow some at night. Like the sky :)
idk if this is doable, but thank you for any ideas!
