General Tips
- The decal method is easier than the painting method
- The painting method takes a lot of practice. Using this method, the fluid art polish should only be used as a "topper" over a thin polish that is still wet. Dollar store polishes tend to be popular for this because they often have a thin consistency.
- Try to work quickly. You don't have to be super fast, but the solvents that evaporate in polish are needed to keep the fluidity of the polish. This will result in larger and more cells.
- Fluid art usually doesn't work with glitter or chunkier polishes as it interrupts the cell formation. In addition, if you do get cells, they are hard to see because the glitter distracts from the look of the cells.
- When using the clear fluid art polish, Porthole, you need to make sure that you are getting the fluid art polish mixed into the other colors. More than one creme based color needs to be used with this polish otherwise you won't get the full effect.
