Add a vibrant blue hue to your creations with this Kamenskaya Bleuet alcohol-based ink, which is ideal for creating luminous effects in resin.
Its liquid texture makes it easy to tint the resin and vary the color intensity depending on the amount used. This shade of blue can be combined with white, turquoise, or purple to create gradients and designs inspired by water or the sky. To achieve a Petri effect, use only special Petri white paint with the translucent inks. Alternate each drop of color with a drop of white to allow the pigments to gradually sink. If the resin seems too runny, wait a few minutes for it to thicken. Do not use a burner, as the ink contains alcohol.
What is the difference between standard alcohol-based ink and special Petri-effect alcohol-based ink?
Standard alcohol-based inks are used to color the resin and create marbled effects, color gradients, or swirling patterns. Kamenskaya’s special Petri-effect alcohol inks forresin, on the other hand, have been specially formulated with alcohol, pigments, and polymers to achieve the Petri Art technique. They allow you to create more intricate patterns, with colored filaments that sink into the resin and spread out deep within it.
Why use it with a special white Petri-effect ink?
The white ink plays an essential role in creating the Petri effect! Unlike conventional white ink, which is used simply for coloring, the special Petri white ink acts as a “sinker.” When applied after the drops of colored ink, it pulls them toward the bottom of the resin, creating branches, filaments, and stunning depth effects.
What can you do with this Bleuet ink?
Create blue cabochons, translucent pendants, or earrings with marbled effects. You can combine several shades of blue in a single mold or add a few metallic accents to bring out more light.

Tips for use:
- Use a resin with a curing time of no more than 24 hours.
- Mix the resin thoroughly with the hardener to prevent defects in your finished piece; stir slowly to avoid trapping excess air bubbles inside.
- Pour the resin in a thin stream to minimize air bubbles within the resin layer.
- Work on a flat surface and cover it with a protective material to keep it secure.
- You can begin working once the bubbles rise to the surface and you’ve removed them.
- After each drop of color, use white. The white color blends with the colored paint, creating effects within the resin.
- Use only special white paint designed for marbling, with luminous, translucent shades. Only this paint has a composition that allows you to create marbling effects with these inks.
- Shake the paint jars regularly before applying each drop to ensure the mixture is uniform.
- Do not let the paint fall near the silicone edging, as this prevents it from sinking into the resin.
- If the resin is too runny, wait 20 to 30 minutes before starting to work with the paint. This will increase the viscosity, and the paint won’t sink too far to the bottom. The more runny the resin is, the more likely the paint is to sink to the bottom.
Both beginners and experienced creators can experiment with different concentrations and combinations. Our resources provide tips and tricks to help you prepare your mixtures and achieve the perfect finish.
