this paint is the only paint in the
world that claims to be
a liquid mirror and on the website it
looks
absolutely insane
and today we're going to find out is
this paint as reflective as it claims to
be
okay we need to talk about where this
paint came from as a surprise that came
to literally almost
nobody this paint is from our art god
stuart simple and his brand culture
hustle
you might remember them from the world's
golden gold paint review that i did
the world's blackest paint in existence
that absorbs 99.9
of all light or you might have seen a
video on this exact paint from my
wonderful youtube art best friend miss
art of chloe rose i like that
she did a really great video on it a
while back i'll link it down below
and since her video on it it has been in
the back of my mind
for months and so yeah i finally broke
down and bought it today we're gonna
review it we're gonna see if it's real
fake how it works all that good stuff if
you haven't subscribed with
notifications be sure to do that because
not only will you get notified of every
single video that i make in real time
it also helps me literally more than you
could ever know
and i think giving the video a thumbs up
does too i'm not too completely sure on
that so if you want to do that i guess
that'd be cool too
and yeah with that being said i'm like
too excited for today's video so let's
go ahead and just
jump straight into it
[Music]
now when i watched chloe's video on it
she mentioned how small it was
it's like the size of my pinky finger
it's so small
and i guess just because it's on youtube
you don't like understand how
small it really is but guys it is so
small
it is like teeny tiny now one of the
reasons that makes it so shocking that
it's so small is that the mirror paint
costs 37
[Music]
and what makes it so expensive is that
this pigment is pretty much unlike
anything else
in the world the pigment is so finely
grated that each individual particle
is half the size of a red blood cell
and not just that but this paint i don't
know if you guys can hear it but it's
very very watery
this paint is designed to just like flow
over everything
be as even as possible and give you that
true mirror effect
so let's pop this bad boy open
[Music]
and i haven't even swatched it yet and
it already looks like this
oh my gosh i'm like so excited that is
so
cool it's more shiny on the actual paint
bristles than it is the actual metal
part of the paintbrush
i'm not used to how like fluid this
paint is and it like spills everywhere
[Music]
right off the bat this paint is
literally so shiny
i can see my face you can see my pajamas
you can see my neck
you can see my face and my mouth moving
what the heck
now i think this paint swatch would look
a lot more shinier if i didn't have
paint bristles so i straight up i'm just
gonna dump a little bit on the actual
palette itself and see what it looks
like completely untouched
[Music]
when it's in a blob form like this it
kind of looks like straight up liquid
mercury
bro look at it this cannot be
real bro
look how clear this is you can see my
phone you can see my hand
this literally is like a mirror what the
heck
all right so now that i know what it
looks like in swatch and like how
reflective it truly
is i bought this really cheap metallic
steriling silver paint from walmart and
just to show you how reflective the
chrome aspect
of the mirror paint really is i thought
we would compare the two
so here's what they look like next to
each other and already you can see
there's like a humongous comparison
between the two
she's cute or whatever you know just
like a nice little gray moment
and here is the liquid mirror paint
boom no comparison and when you compare
the two side by side it kind of looks
like there's a piece of foil
over the basket compared to the silver
paint you know
obviously it's better quality but not
only that it's way way way more
pigmented
wow now one thing to note is on their
website this paint looks absolutely
insane specifically this one picture i
saw of an apple
it blew my mind but i don't know if the
photo has been manipulated
if it's editing tricks or what's going
on so i went to a craft store picked up
an
apple and i thought we could try to
recreate it now when you look at the
apple it definitely looks like they
airbrushed it on as opposed to like
painting it on there's absolutely zero
paint marks on it so i bought this
manual airbrush machine
and we'll see if we can get that exact
effect
drum roll please
[Music]
bam it's definitely not as reflective as
the website
and it could be because i don't have a
proper airbrush and the apple does have
a little bit of like texturey bumps on
it
so in some areas it's definitely more of
a chrome effect
but in other areas it looks fantastic
you can see the outline of my face some
of the room
my fingers i feel like m.c escher right
now you know how he has that drawing
where he's like holding the ball
that's me right now except the youtube
version
so i definitely feel like that image
could be possible under the right
circumstances
but i personally just wasn't able to
recreate it
well oh my god that is not a flattering
angle
oh now if you don't agree that it looks
like
a mirror i totally get that 100 but one
thing that i would probably
argue to the grave to is that this looks
like
chrome it really does have a metallic
metal finish to it so with that being
said let's test it on
some metal
and i'll pour some directly on it
because that seems to
work the best
ah the fingerprints i can't get the
fingerprints off
me when you look at it head down it
definitely does not blend in
whatsoever but something really weird
that i've noticed is that when you bend
it at a certain
angle it blends in flawlessly
and not just the pouring side but also
the painted side as well
at that certain angle if you were to
tell me there was no paint on it
i would believe you
so before i put this paint on an actual
mirror there's something important that
i need to address
unlike the world's golden gold paint
unlike the world's blackest black paint
both of which are pretty much completely
safe this mirror paint does come with
two warnings the first one is kind of a
no-brainer don't eat it
kind of obvious and secondly more
importantly this paint is actually
flammable now i don't know exactly how
flammable but it has warnings not just
on the website not just on the box but
on the actual bottle as well
if you use this make sure you do it in a
well ventilated area
with a mask on i know we're tired of
masks but wear a mask
and total side note if you want to know
exactly what it smells like
back in my childhood there used to be
like this balloon paste where you put it
on a straw and blow into the straw and
it would form like a balloon
i don't know if anyone is gonna know
what i'm talking about but this paint
smells exactly like that which is kind
of concerning now that i'm thinking
about it
but anyway i want to see what this
mirror paint looks like on an actual
mirror so
let's do it
and i'll go ahead and put a little
puddle because that one seems to work
the absolute best
uh wow i completely underestimated this
paint
now when you look straight down on it
directly again we see that same pattern
where it doesn't really look like much
but guys once you angle it it looks like
a part of the mirror just has like
a little piece of plastic or something
over it
[Music]
this blob it kind of looks like it's
transparent but it's not it's completely
solid
and that's going to be my final saying
for this paint it's absolutely
out of this world if you have 37 dollars
to blend and you like the novelty
heck yes get it it's awesome if you want
to see my two other culture hustle
videos i will leave them down below and
if you haven't subscribed yet be sure to
do that
and yeah with that being said guys thank
you so much for your time thanks for
watching i hope you guys have a
wonderful day and i will see you
next video
