Metallic foil flakes are a favourite finishing touch for resin coasters, pendants, phone cases and nail art, where a few gold flakes suspended in clear resin catch the light beautifully. This pack gives you enough flakes to embellish several small projects without committing to a larger tub, making it an easy way to try metallic flake effects for the first time. Because the flakes are so fine and light, a pair of tweezers or a slightly damp toothpick gives better control when placing them than fingers alone.

For resin work, flakes can be mixed directly into the liquid resin before pouring for an even, all-over scatter, or dropped onto the surface of a poured, still-wet layer for flakes that sit closer to the top and catch more light. In nail art, a small amount of clear top coat or nail glue is enough to hold the flakes in place. Store the pack sealed and away from moisture between uses so the flakes stay separated and easy to sprinkle, and keep a tray beneath your workspace so any stray flakes can be gathered and reused rather than lost.
