A quick tutorial of how I make my glow in the dark Northern Lights resin pendants. You'll need both a two part resin as well as UV resin to make these pendants.
I use Nerpa Polymers resin as it is an environmentally positive resin made using renewable carbon: https://www.nerpa.ca/
This is the UV resin I used and ended up quite liking: https://a.co/d/8Mwipys
The pigments are from Black Diamond Pigments: https://www.blackdiamondpigments.com/
They also carry glow in the dark

Tip: The longer the initial cure time, the more buckled the surface gets with UV resin, because that type of resin gets super hot very quickly, and doesn't have time to even itself out before curing. I have found that to achieve a smooth surface with UV resin (regardless of brand, but I use only JDiction), I have to do 2 or 3 very short curings (no more than 10-30 seconds at a time!), cooling the resin completely before hitting it with the lights again, depending on the depth of resin. A shallow (doming or leveling) pour can buckle very fast, so 10-second cures seem to work best.
~~~After about a minute or two of curing, if it's still sticky, place the item in a clear glass if water and hit it with another couple minutes of UV light. The reason UV resin can remain sticky is because not enough oxygen deprivation occurs, so the "water bath" does the trick. Just wipe dry with a soft cloth, no alcohol needed.
