DIY Iridescent Crystals (using what you have at home!)

In this tutorial, we're using science and simple materials to create faux crystals or minerals. You possibly already have everything you need at home - and if not, the materials can be borrowed or bought for cheap.

For these crystals you will need no borax, no salt and no fancy materials. You could even call it a little science experiment, so it's great for when you're bored at home or want to try something new.
I had a lot of fun myself and found the rainbows that were created quite mesmerizing.

really Amazing 1. How long does the effect last? 2. Does touching it damage the texture? And can it be protected over time? Thanks.

I've learnt something new today. Well done! Very innovative and creative.

I just tried it out and yes! This is really cool! I had a smooth, dark rock that I found somewhere and tadah, it is very pretty now. I will collect many more! I accidentally bought two clear nailpolishes that I hardly ever use (except for pantyhoses and broken/split nails) so I have plenty to make stuff with!

not me just looking around the room for objects to dip into rainbows

👁️👁️🤯 You just blew my mind. I don’t know what to say, you are the Einstein of the fake crystal making world. I’m gonna try this on a boring resin crystal I made. THANK YOU!

Wow, love this! So many possibilities. I'm teaching senior citizens and will incorporate the paper background into my next lesson

Beautiful. Can't wait to try this. I had just searched if you could use nail polish on aluminum foil. You answered my question. I never considered clear polish though. Can't wait to try this.
