- Welcome Period Six Designs!
This is my little YT channel where I share my love of crafting with the world. As requested, I am trying out the new Crystalac Grande Finale. Crystalac recently released this Grande Finale epoxy alternative glitter tumbler top coat and I wanted to see if this was better, worse or about the same as using their Brite Tone product. Watch the video and find out my exact thoughts and let me know what you think below!

I love how you keep it real. I struggle with different things doing tumblers and can go back and watch you and know im not alone thank you!
First of all...gorgeous glitters! Secondly, I threw in the towel with that product the more layers you did. That requires toooo much work. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I tried so hard to stick with it then I realized it was gonna be a wash
i thought i was going crazy after 8 coats hahaha glad it wasn’t just me
Girl! Just found you and I think I love you already, I use BT because i cant use epoxy but thanks for keeping it real! Finally someone that speaks FACTS!
I love your bluntness. You say it like it is. Thank you I enjoy your videos
I love watching your videos! Thinking about trying this out bc I feel like my epoxy tumblers are not consistently coming out right, so...Ty for ur video!
12 minutes in and I think I want my money back!😂
I absolutely love your honesty…your the best. I’m new to this tumbler world and GURL smh what a journey it’s been.
I get streaks and bubbles with Brite tone and GF. Any tips how to prevent that? I don’t over work I live in the desert so idk if it’s a temp thing, any tips will help
oh girl I know it...and they are always throwing new products at us keeping us on a learning curve
I would def say the chunky glitter needs to be smooshed well then sealed with a glue then after drying u can add your product I think u will see u need way less coats hope that helps !
Never leave comments, but girl you are awesome!
Props to you Monica. No way I have the patience for this product or one before I love my quick set epoxy tumbler done in one day lol. You did a amazing job working with it. Tumbler is beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing ✨💗
If I could use epoxy, I would. It is a lot faster, but this is a great alternative for those of us who can’t.
@@kylieghnicole yes. I wish I could use epoxy! I have cats tho
Thanks for the honesty. I’m going to try this soon so now I know what to expect.
This was very helpful because I bought some to try and I love learning from others who have tried it soooooo THANKK YOU!!!!
Girl thank you. I started doing a tumbler for my daughter and saw this ad about resin being harmful so i stopped and followed this person and she was using brite tone and now she is using grand finale saying it was so great then I happened on to you and the truth was revealed. Thank you Thank you Thank you
First time watching your channel but love the energy! And yes for the drop your address in the comments, it had me rollin😂! Tell 'em positive vibes only!
I love your personality and attitude! You make me smile everytime I watch your videos..
❤️ from the land down under
yes, thank you for the realness…because i have this product in my amazon list and continue to wonder if it’s worth it… i’m going to try it but i so appreciate what you’ve shared…btw, the cup looks good.
Love the video. Greatly appreciate your honesty. Please keep the videos coming
Thank you so much for the honest review I am just starting with brite tone because epoxy is so damaging to work with on the daily in an apartment and I do not want my Son breathing it in either so I am really hoping I can get it to work.
Thanks for for your honesty!!!
Thank you for this I am having the same issues!!
I just want you to know you make my day!
Your the best, so freaking funny
And thank you for all the tutorials
Click out or leave your address 😂🤦🏻♀️ your comments make my day, you’re one of the realest CZcamsrs I’ve watched so far and I’ve been watching all kinds of creators for years!
So glad I’ve found your videos! Super helpful and I love your personality ☺️
Omg...first video of yours I have watched and sis we are friends (in my head)! love the commentary and the information about the product!
I can’t wait to see what your final opinion is. 💜 Do you use epoxy, and if so, what brand do you think is best? I’ve never used it, but I’m considering it. Thanks for keeping it real! 😊
💕❣ love love love !! and as always lmaooo love the laughs .. and that you keep it real
Love the color combo, I don't think I'd use the britetone or grand finale. Too many layers but that Hyperion video you did made me intrigued for my winter indoor epoxy!
I haven't done a Hyperion video...
@@PeriodSixDesigns Lmao I watch so many videos I thought it was you! From what I've seen you can make a tumbler in one day!
I love your videos. I’m just getting started with tumblers. I love how you go through the demonstrations for us. I haven’t done a chunky glitter yet but I only use the high gloss as the final layer after I’ve done thin layers with the original Brite Tone.
I might need to try it this way at least it would cut out a few brite tone layers
Well, I love your video as always. Colors are gorgeous and you always seem to combine mixes of fine and chunky very well. I was quite surprised to see you go with all those layers. The "Wet it and Forget it" is misleading to me. You totally rock your epoxy and your items come out smooth and very shiny. I do not think this is a product I will be purchasing any time soon. Thanks for checking it out for us. Your skills are much appreciated and we know your struggles are real. Stay safe and well.
Thank you so much!
It looked beautiful to me; especially, the colors. Have you since changed products? Was just about to switch to this product but after seeing this video, I need to rethink it. 😢🤣🤣🤣
Yessssssssss.... that's what i love about you Monica, you are 💯 % real. There are so many fake ppl these days. Any hooooo.... I thought your tumbler turned out beautifully. And I loved the tutorial ... as usual. Keep up the great job and " fu%k the haters"
Thank you for this video. I’ve been in search of a sealer for my acrylic tumblers to cover my vinyl decals. I don’t use glitter. Do you think this product will perform well with just covering vinyl decals on my acrylic tumblers?
I love your videos glad I found you.
Your cup is beautiful 🤩.
Keep it real! I understand the feeling of defeat!
Not you got the man blocked !!! 🤣🤣
That came out real cute
Beautiful glitters! Thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations you’ve experienced. Sorry it gave you fits!
I have all the products but I stick with my epoxy cuz I am so scared to mess it up!!! Thank you for giving us your take on all the new products
sometimes I wonder why I keep torturing myself with some of these products lol
@@PeriodSixDesigns to help us
It’s beautiful by the way
I enjoy your videos 😊😊
I really enjoy your videos
thank you!
I Use BT… feel like I’ve been working in the same cup for months 😂 don’t know why I’m scared of regular epoxy
lol not months...you just have to remember with regular epoxy you have to protect yourself and know that there is a learning curve.
I find I have trouble with tiny bubbles on my cups with Grande finale have you notice this?
Ok. Now hold up. I think I have screwed up. I just received the Crystalac Grand Finale today. I hope I didn't waste my funds. What is Bright Tone? Is it something that you used to keep the glitter in place. Like a sealant to keep the glitter from shifting around?
I just ordered grand finalé also, I'm having the same expectations you were. We'll see how it goes...
please let us know because im thinking I did something wrong
After you apply the glitter did you spray your tumbler with a clear spray sealer ? Sealed it with the glue. That is so disappointing. I use brite tone & it takes a lot work. Thank you for honest review.
I just ordered this and could tell it was going to take forever. I just poured some in a medicine cup and then pour it onto my cup and applied with my hand (using a glove) hoping it doesn't take 20 coats 😳
I used to use BT and I love it, but cant deal with 4hrs between layers. I am trying Hyperion and ugh, you can see like wrinkles in it and I have sanded twice. Alot of people are so disappointed with GF and Hyperion.
really...ok so its not just me...I think the biggest issue is that I at least was under the impression that it would be a lot less layers and a less time but I think its still a similar amount of layers you just can do them quicker
@@PeriodSixDesigns yeah, if you have to use alot more layers because of the wrinkles and sanding. Then what's the point. I am going to try crystalac's new 2 hour product and see how that goes 😊
@@PeriodSixDesigns but from what you're saying is GF seems to have same issues I described with hyperion? That stinks lol
I was getting wrinkles too but I reached out to Hyperion and they said it was because I wasn’t adding enough product once I started adding more product to my blank the wrinkles went away I hope this helps
Have you tried WaterCote? I am struggling to find something I like since I can’t use epoxy anymore.
Can mod podge use to seal it then use the epoxy after?
That's what I do if I don't have any spray to seal it
@@novellacook7892 okay thanks
Hi Monica my question is when putting resin on the tumbler you have to sand the tumbler? Or is that only because you are using another product? Like the quick tone and the stuff you use in this video? I love your channel
I think sanding is just good practice. as far as epoxy you might can get away with not sanding if your layers come out perfect but with brite tone you kind of have to
How do you strip a cup if you have to?
Can you add reducer to it?
I did not like brite tone on chunky glitter at all. I like it on holographic or paint/inks, easy to use & safer than resin. But nothing beats a resin finish, when resin behaves,lol. Almost ordered this & now I won't waste my time, so thank you. It is too spendy to use a 1/4 on one cup& still not be pleased with the results. And yes, the brushes soak up a TON of product.
yes im going to have to try this on just fine glitter. kind of sucks making chunky glitter cups with one thing and fine glitter with another
@@PeriodSixDesigns It really does, I tried triple thick and every modge podge made on chunky glitter and so far nothing can do them justice. Whoever comes up with a good resin alternative for all glitter will be my hero,lol.
So i reacted about the same as you LOL.. i just put epoxy on top to end the torture.. and honestly it makes a great base IMO 🤷🏻♀️ i’ve googled if you should put it on top or not and haven’t seen anything so who knows!!
ooo I feel like at one point I knew this answer and I think you got it right with brite tone under epoxy
Lord I looked @ the brochures to see if I saw someone that looked like me too. 😂 Lord help me.
hey its valid!
Also I think u used a lot the layers should be same as brite tone nice and thin
I do 15 coats for a brite tone cup with vinyl so I was hoping this would be less not the equal or more 🤣
@@PeriodSixDesigns 15 😮 good Lord
That's too much work!
