The Environment

An MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for strontium aluminate (glow in the dark powder) is attached with this instruction sheet. Although the Glow in the Dark Powder is ridiculously safe, the mediums used to mix it in may not be. Always follow the instructions on the packaging of any other substance you are using.

Instructions

1. For a 10ml bottle of polish you will need to add approximately 5grams of powder.
2. Use a funnel to pour the powder in to the polish bottle.
3. Mix the powder in well so the polish supports the particles. If you have a small ball bearing, this will also help mix the powder in the polish.
4. Apply the polish immediately after stirring.
5. Allow to dry before applying another coat.
6. Apply up to 3 coats for maximum effect.

Keep in mind

• Glow Powder works best in a clear or white medium. Other colours will absorb the light more than the Glow particles will and so reduce the brightness of glow.
• Glow Powder particles will not ‘dissolve’ in the nail polish medium. You will therefore need to ensure you stir the nail polish immediately prior to applying.
• Multiple coats will provide a brighter glow.
• Do not use metal with the powder as it will affect the glow properties
• Any light source will charge the glow particles in the nail polish.
• The glow effect will last for around 10 hours.
• The darker the environment around you, the brighter your nails will glow.
