Acrylic colours & info
Welcome to our acrylic library. Take note of the info in each section as different acrylics have different quirks & things to note. For general acrylic info & faq head to the bottom of the page.


Basics
Our Basic acrylic colours are reversible. This means one side is matte, the other is shiny. This range is a fantastic all rounder acrylic, averaging 3mm thick.
This range is great for mold making blanks as you can choose to make your mold matte or shiny by inverting your piece. Dark colours are a good choice here to help you notice dust or marks before pouring.
When a piece has engraving, we engrave the shiny side. The protective paper adheres best to it & will give you a clean edge when if you choose to paint fill your piece/s.
2mm Black: We offer our Basic Black in 2mm, this is shiny on both sides. The 2mm option is suited primarily to be used as blanks in mold making where you intend to dome the blank with resin before mold making so that the overall earring can be thinner if desired.

Pastels
Our Pastel acrylic colours are reversible. This means one side is matte, the other is shiny. This range is a fantastic all rounder acrylic, averaging 3mm thick.
This range is great for mold making blanks as you can choose to make your mold matte or shiny by inverting your piece.
When a piece has engraving, we engrave the shiny side. The protective paper adheres best to it & will give you a clean edge when if you choose to paint fill your piece/s.


Nature
Our Nature acrylic colours are reversible. This means one side is matte, the other is shiny. This range is a fantastic all rounder acrylic, averaging 3mm thick. In general the Nature range colours are more slightly more muted than screens show (screens tend to brighten them).
This range is great for mold making blanks as you can choose to make your mold matte or shiny by inverting your piece. Dark colours are a good choice here to help you notice dust or marks before pouring.
When a piece has engraving, we engrave the shiny side. The protective paper adheres best to it & will give you a clean edge when if you choose to paint fill your piece/s.


Mirror
Mirror acrylic has one side that is grey or white, much like a real mirror. This is the "back side" & sometimes has minor marks but these are not seen from the front & do not impact the piece.
We recommend removing the protective tape (it's only on the front side) as late as possible to avoid fingerprints or dust. Pieces are easily cleaned with a microfibre cloth.
When a piece has engraving, we engrave the mirror backing. This is very effective at showing the detail through your piece but can not be paint filled.
Some glues may show through, we recommend E6000. Mirror is not available for Earring Sticks or Earring Stands.


Glitters
Glitter acrylics are shiny on both sides. Due to the way these acrylics are poured, very occasionally there's some minor contouring on one side, this is the back side.
All colours except Black Holo & Iridescent are single colour glitters. Black Holo & Iridesecent are holographic and shine many colours in the light.

Sheer Sparkes
Glitter acrylics are shiny on both sides. They are translucent with suspended glitters. They all have 2 different colours of glitter in them, the colour they are + silver (i.e Purple has Purple & Silver glitter). 'Fairy' has iridescent glitter & sparkles holographically.

Shards
Our Shard acrylics are shiny on both sides. Excluding Sheer Holo, they all have a back that the glitter sits on, the dark colours have a black backing. Sheer Holo is translucent with suspended holographic shards in it.
We etch on the 'front' translucent element of these as it is more effective against the glitters.
Due to the nature of shards acrylic sheets they are not available for Earring Displays.


Marbled Pearls
Marbled Pearls are shiny on both sides. They are a delicious swirl of marble & shine. They have a back side with less detail than the front.
Please note: On the lighter colours in this range, grey marks may show up where there are corners/inner curves on the items (i.e the corners of stars/petals, lines of wiggle sticks). This is especially present in the Mother of Pearl, Rose Quartz, Seafoam, Honey & Lavender. Simple shapes are best chosen for those colours.


Neon & Fluoros
Neons & Fluoros are shiny on both sides.
The Neons are semi-opaque brights that are not as intense in colour as the Fluoros.
The Fluoros are high brightness translucent hard to capture on camera but very effective in person.



Frosted
Most of the Frosted Range are matte on both sides. The Lilac, Pale Blue & Soft Mint are Matte one side, shiny the other.
Frosted are a semi-translucent acrylic that defuses the light beautifully. Frosted is a great choice for earring displays & photography as it does not catch reflections vs Translucent acrylics.

Sheer Frosts
The Sheer Frosts are matte frosted on one side & shiny the other. They are a semi-translucent acrylic that defuses the light beautifully. Frosted is a great choice for earring displays & photography as it does not catch reflections vs Translucent acrylics.
The Sheer Frosts have a bright edge, this is most effective on simple shapes such as Earring Displays & Sticks, Circles etc . We find the bright edge lessens on more complex shapes i.e Flowers, Stars etc. It's hard to show in photo above but it's almost fluorescent.
Aqua Note: It is hard to capture on camera however the Aqua has a yellow/green hue to it that makes it almost two-tone.
Green Note: The green has more colour density than the other 5 colours (less sheer but still very sheer!)



Translucent
Translucent acrylics are shiny on both sides & are see through.
Glass is clear tinted green, ice is clear tinted blue. Black & Charcoal are black variants where the charcoal has blue tones and the black has no saturation.
Translucent acrylics make effective dangle components to your earrings as they catch the light beautifully and add depth in their translucency. Translucents engrave very effectively (especially with logos on displays).

Specialty
Black & Pink shimmer are a dense glitter on one side with a plain coloured back.
Neon Confetti is translucent around the round shapes.
Aura & Paua are full of depth, colour & sparkle. Aura note: is like the pearls: grey marks may show up where there are corners/inner curves on the items (i.e the corners of stars/petals, lines of wiggle sticks).
Iridescent Translucent note: the iridescent is applied as a film on the acrylic, be careful when peeling the tape off to not also peel this off.
General Info
- We do our best to colour match our photos but there will be variances from screen to screen. We reccomend ordering from desktops where possible as you get a bigger view of the colours & mobile screens tend to oversaturate.
-
As we use through an acrylic sheet & begin a new one, colour may vary slightly. You may notice slight variances between orders but this is rare.
- Mirror Acrylic only has protective masking on one side, the other side is the mirror backing (you can't remove it!)
- We recommend E6000 when gluing earring backs onto Acrylic Stud Tops.
- Our Acrylics average 3mm thick. Some can be as thin as 2.5mm & as thick as 4mm. In general they range from 2.7-3.2mm thick.
