Neon hot pink glow pigment can be added to clear to make a fun new glow color. It can also be added to your current glitter and dip mixes to create an whole new color. If you add a colored glow pigment like Pink on Pink, remember that it will color your base with pink. It will turn a glitter mix into a milky pink base. Start out with just a pinch of glow pigment to a tsp of acrylic dip mix and test it under your UV lamp and slowly add to it from there. All glow pigments will cloud your clear acrylic base, so remember what you are trying to create before picking out your glow.
Glow Pigment additives can be added to existing colors to create a fun effect after exposure to UV rays. Use a small amount, a little goes a long way! A great mix ration would be 1/8th tsp to 1.5 to 2 tsp of acrylic. Want a more intense glow, add 1/8th tsp to 1 tsp of acrylic. Just remember that the glow pigments require ample amounts of exposure to either natural UV lighting or UV lamps. The longer they are exposed, the brighter and longer the glow will last.
For best results, Pink, Purple, Red, and White will need direct exposure before glowing. These glows will last for a shorter period of time as well. Aqua, Green, Blue, and Orange tend to need less exposure and their glows can last for hours compared to Pink, Red, White, and Purple.
Remember, the amount of glow pigment added to an existing color may alter the original end result. Swatch your creation to see if it's what you are looking for. When adding glow pigments to clear, the less you add, the more clear your end result will be. If you add a pigmented glow powder to either clear or an existing color, remember that you will be changing the end tone. So Pink on Pink Illumination powder added to clear will give you a fun milky pink that glows. Added to red or pink, it may not change much, but the glow will be extra pink.
Note: Glow powders need to be charged before they will glow. To get the best results, glow powders should be exposed to either the sun or UV light. The longer the powder is exposed, the brighter and longer the glow color will last. You can get a quick idea of the glow color by using an LED/UV nail light or an LED flashlight,
Color may vary slightly in person. While I try to capture the best photo of the true color, there are many things that may alter the color and vary your results. Computer monitors may make the color appear different than what it looks like in person. Other factors include lighting and method of application. Dip liquids vs. gel liquids will give you a different result as well as the amount of layers of color that you may apply. Swatches are made with 2-3 coats of color using the laydown method in a cupcake liner and most colors are encapsulated in clear. Dip liquids are used on every swatch. Solid colors may also have a slight shimmer due to contamination of the dip liquids.
