- I think it's safe to say that I am a phase-y person.
I think sometimes that has a negative connotation,
but the way I view it is life is way too short
just to like the same thing all the time.
There's so much cool stuff to enjoy.
With that being said,
I have not tested many new art supplies
on my channel in a while.
I've been doing a lot of series
where I just keep revisiting things that I enjoy,
because I enjoy them.
However, today we are going to test something new.
It's not exactly new because my friends, Chloe
- It's like the size of my pinky finger.
It's so small.
- Rae
- [Rae] Is this paint as reflective as they claim it to be?
- And Emily.
- They call it mirriorious, mirrorous, mirrirrious,
mirror paint.
- Have all done this already.
And that is painting with the famous mirror paint
by Stuart Semple.
Now, this stuff is allegedly the mirror-est
mirror paint out there.
So I kinda just wanna try it.
- [Mira] And confession time, this drawer holds
so many art supplies
that I bought last November, and never used.
Because last November I was going through a phase
where I wanted to try a bunch of stuff.
So here we are.
I bought a bunch of stuff from Culture Hustle.
We've got the glowiest glow pigment stuff,
the goldest paint,
and a lot of other stuff is in this drawer.
However,
the thing we want.
The thing we are looking for,
is this beautiful mirror paint.
- Now, at some point I will probably test all those supplies
that I just showed you.
However, again, I'm phase-y,
and sometimes I would rather do a bunch of paintings
like that in the background.
And then some days I want to bust open
a new art supply, and give it a go.
- [Mira] Now, something that I noticed when other people
opened this is
this box has a lot of like, don't eat it,
don't tattoo it to your body,
don't apply it to hot surfaces.
But,
You gotta shake it,
keep it out of reach of kids and animals,
store it at room temperature,
and clean your brushes with mineral spirits.
Also, here's a big one.
This product can cause an allergic reaction.
- And I'm actually somebody who is notorious
for having allergic reactions to art supplies,
so let's hope I'm not allergic to this
cause I really want to try it.
- [Mira] But another thing that has been stressed
on this box,
multiple times,
is this product is extremely flammable.
- [Mira] Let's open this bad boy up, okay?
Oh my goodness.
For real.
Wow.
And yet again, another warning
that this stuff is very flammable.
(fire crackling)
- Now, look how small this bottle is.
That's pretty crazy.
So I'm really excited to open this,
and I think part of the reason why
I'm like really drawn to trying this is because
Stuart Semple is very notorious
for creating like the world's blackest paint.
The world's goldest paint
the mirror-est paint
Just achieving really hard-to-achieve pigments.
So yeah, if you're interested in this stuff
maybe you're an art geek like me
definitely check out Stewart Semples' paint line
on Culture Hustle.
I will link it down below.
This is totally not sponsored.
Just, you know, shouting them out, so
Let's try this.
(upbeat hip hop music)
- Now, we're going to have a lot of fun with this
and test this out on a lot of surfaces.
I have an old archived print.
I have a water color Zentangle painting,
Black watercolor paper,
origami paper.
I've got a painting.
I've got candle lids.
I've got jars.
I've got a tiny sketchbook.
Your girl's not messing around.
I honestly, I just have not tested an art supply
in such a long time.
But I'm so excited.
(upbeat hip hop music)
- [Mira] (gasp)
Oh
my
goodness.
Dude, that is so reflective.
So for the sake of satisfaction
I think we're going to test it.
(Upbeat techno music)
- [Mira] Oh, my word
- [Mira] Look how reflective this is like, that is so wild.
Even the brush is super reflective.
I mean, it is about as reflective as the metal itself.
So I'm honestly so shocked.
I did not expect that at all.
I mean, I've seen my friends test this in their videos
and it looked really cool
but I guess I didn't think I would be this surprised
Still.
(laughs)
That's amazing.
It is so reflective.
- So this is how it translates
to a very smooth piece of paper.
This is actually Copic Marker paper.
And I would say that is very reflective.
(cricket chirping)
- Now that we've seen swatched our lovely little mirror-
Oh, oh, hold up.
Mirror painted buddy.
Look, some of it dripped down the side
and it's so reflective.
We're going to actually do some stuff now.
First we have this painting
and since it's already galaxy theme
I thought it would be really cool to add some fun accents.
So I picked out some old paint brushes
because I did just try to wash that paint brush that I used
at the beginning of the video,
and I followed the directions
however, it's kind of difficult to get the paint
off the brush.
So my advice to you, if you try this
just use your older brushes.
Don't use a brand new like, favorite brush.
- [Mira] Okay, let's dump some more of this paint out
and give it a go.
This stuff honestly reminds me of liquid mercury.
Look at that.
And a little bit really goes a long way.
So, let's just do some stars.
(happy melodious music)
- [Mira] I think I want to do some larger stars as well.
(happy melodious music)
- For this painting, I really feel like less is more
but do you see it reflect?
So my thought for this is with porous surfaces,
it's definitely not as reflective.
And I believe Rae said that in her video too.
She noticed on like really smooth surfaces,
it was way more reflective than stuff like this.
It's still pretty reflective though.
And I mean, it pretty much reminds me of like
a really, really metallic paint
like silver leaf or something like that.
Now let's move on to something a little different
but interesting.
So, I have this candle lid,
which has like a cloudy reflection on it.
It's like one of those distressed ones
from White Barn Candle Company.
We've got this Ball jar lid, which actually is housing
a paint color that I needed for a big project.
And I still am keeping it in case I need it again.
But besides the point.
Let's paint on them.
- [Mira] Okay. Here are the lids.
Let's first do this ball lid
and it's somewhat reflective, but.
What about now?
Honestly (laughs)
I don't know if I see a difference.
I bet this like needs to be dumped
on the surface or something.
This candle lid, let's give it a go.
(lo-fi music)
- [Mira] So maybe not reflective surfaces.
I don't know.
I don't want to pour it on
cause I literally only have one bottle.
Oh, you know what?
You know what? No, no, no, no, no.
Well, wait a second.
Now that it's drying, look at this.
Can you see myself?
Like, "Hey guys!"
It's really reflective.
(laughs)
That is so cool.
Okay.
So I guess it just needed to dry a little bit.
Okay, just for funsies,
I wanted to swatch a piece of origami paper.
This has like nothing to do with this
but just let me have my moment.
- [Mira] Wow.
That is really reflective.
(laughs)
Look at that.
(lo-fi music)
- [Mira] I'll hold up this piece of origami paper
so you can see just how reflective it is.
Isn't that wild?
It really is like a mirror.
- [distorted voice] Wowzers
That's so impressive.
I can't believe it.
- Let's see what happens when I paint on a print.
So this is an archived print
of one of my old art pieces of clouds.
And I think I'm going to do like a little moon in the sky.
We'll just see how it works.
- [Mira] I'll do it like right here.
(low-fi music)
- [Mira] Okay, wow. This feels so magical.
Whoa.
I
love
that
so much.
- Okay, this one is definitely my favorite so far.
There's like barely any of this paint on the print
but it is such a game changer.
(happy upbeat music)
- [Mira] We have this tiny little sketch book
of tiny little paintings that I've done in the past.
What can I mess around with?
Let's do some metallic clouds on this one.
(lo-fi jazzy music)
- [Mira] Wow. This is absolutely beautiful.
This is on water color paper,
layered on top of gouache.
It is literally like a mirror.
Like I am shocked right now.
- [Mira] Also,
I have washed my hands about five times
and it is on my hands and it is still reflective
even after washing a lot.
(laughs)
- So I was going to paint on this watercolor piece as well.
And this is just a doodle I did a couple of years ago.
However, I think we have the point now.
We've painted on enough of my artwork.
So let's create a new piece of artwork
and end this video with a bang.
And that's not even the fun part.
We are going to be trying this on black water color paper.
I feel like with this, we will get a really cool
reflective effect.
So let's see what happens.
- [Mira] Okay. First, I would actually like to swatch it
because
I'm curious.
- [Mira] Wow. Okay.
- [Mira] Seriously. I don't even think the camera
can do this justice.
Wow.
It looks like white paint
because it's reflecting so much off of my lights right now.
That's why it's like that.
- [Mira] Look at this stuff reflect the trees outside.

- It's really been a while since I have experimented
in a video and tried a new art supply.
And with that being said, I really enjoyed
just putting little touches on existing pieces of artwork.
And I think one of my favorites was
honestly, the smooth prints.
That was so fun.
And it was also really enjoyable
to create a tiny painting like this.
But for real, who would have thought that this like
super tiny vial of paint
would go such a long way
and would be so reflective?
Like I guess I just didn't believe it until I tried it.
And now I'm just so impressed.
Oh. Before I forget.
An afterthought here.
So, two cons about this paint is
One, it's really hard to get off your skin.
I know it says to clean brushes with white spirit.
That's what it says on here.
I followed the directions.
It's still really hard to get it off of brushes and skin.
So, just be patient when you do it.
It will come off but you have to be patient.
Another thing,
it is a very smelly substance.
Like, you might want to open a window.
It's like,
it kind of reminds me of Sharpies
or spray paint or like a mix.
Very strong.
I'm also going to link Emily, Rae, and Chloe's videos
with the mirror paint down below
'cause they did some really cool stuff
and it's worth watching.
And if you made it this far in the video,
comment the word "Wowzers" down below
and I will try to reply with a gold star emoji
'cause you won the secret game.
And that's all we have today.
Thanks for watching.
Bye.
