These are the Neon Mod Melts. They are light pink, bright orange, bright yellow, and dark green. Though the colors are lovely, I wouldn’t consider a dark green to be “neon”. The Colors pack has a brighter green in there. Cathie Fillian shared this photo of what all the new Mod Melts look like together. A nice color palette. If there is any color you feel is missing, well you can add that to the finished Mod Melt object with paint, ink, and glitter. These are a nice creamy formula. They melted well, just like normal hot glue, and filled the molds nicely.

These are the Mod Melts Metallic. They come in Silver and Gold. You get 8 of each color, for a total of 16 sticks. These are a thicker formula. You have to be patient and let them warm up well in your mini glue gun. They do have one major flaw. The luster of them leaves lines of where the melted stick is overlapping. You can see that in the swatching below. It was a little better if it was super warm, but not by much. Less noticeable in the smaller objects, but very obvious in the larger objects from the Gems Mod Mold. As you can see in the project below, I used that flaw to my advantage, creating Faux Geodes, where that flaw would look appropriate.

These are the Mod Melts Glitters. They come in red, silver, green, and gold. They are a thick formula like the Mod Melts Metallic sticks. You do need to make sure they are hot and have patience. I was rushing when filling the larger objects, and it caused some blockage and squirt back in the gun. I had to slow down, and clear out the blockage several times with both the Glitters and Metallic. The Glitters didn’t have an obvious marks from where the melted stick overlapped itself. I tried mixing the glitters, but that didn’t look awesome. However, I did experiment with adding loose glitters to the mold before adding the melt, and that worked great. That’s an option if you wanted your glitter objects to have more color depth and variation.

These are the results of me tinkering with the Mod Melts Neon. I didn’t paint them as you can with the Sea Glass and Milk Glass options, but you certainly can. Instead, I played with mixing the colors and formulas. I figured the intention of these were to provide a rainbow of Mod Melts colors and formulas. These worked well to fill in the small details. I used them mostly with the Trinkets Mod Mold, but also the Gems, Flowers, and Nature Mod Molds. On the right, you can see where I mixed a few formulas. The butterfly at the top, from the Nature Mod Mold, might look nicer if the green was actually neon. The contrast is very harsh. However, this worked great for the nest from the same Mod Mold. The donut has a bit of mixing, as I was transitioning from one color to the next. The cake and candy bar are a mix of orange and yellow. Looks yummy like a lemon cake. The large flower is a mix of orange and light pink, which gave a nice painterly look. This an object from when the sticks were transitioning inside the hot glue gun. The flower strip is me altering the colors. I did the orange ones 1st. After they were cool and I had transitioned to the light pink, I added the pink. They look great. You need to make sure the colors are fully touching, for the object to be strong. You can overlap the colors a bit on the back for added strength. Those flowers are form the Flowers Mod Mold. I used 4 different molds to create this variety.

I made these objects with Mod Melts Metallic, using the same 4 Mod Molds. You can see the melt lines I mentioned above. I can’t think of a way of disguising or lessening these. Even with making sure the melt stick was hot, they still appeared. I played with mixing the two colors, gold and silver, to see what effects I could get. I used the silver to fill in the eggs, mirror frame, and brush handle. Then, I filled in the remainder with the gold. I love how these worked together. You do need to be very careful when filling in selected details. As you can see with the mirror, if you aren’t then the mistake is obvious. You can however, remove the object after it’s cool in each stage, and cut away mistakes with scissors. Then, put the object back into it’s mold and finish filling it with the next color. The diamond gem at the top is a mix because I was transitioning from the silver to the gold. I was hoping these would smoothly mix, but they didn’t and the transition was very obvious. I liked how the silver looked in the flower Mod Mold. The matte silicone of that mold makes the object matte too. However, this had some nice highlights. I made a few more than shown, to make into jewelry later on.

I made these objects with Mod Melts Glitters, using the same 4 Mod Molds. These have a nice glitter impact and depth. They are very shiny with the Trinkets and Gems Mod Molds, because of the shiny silicone of those molds. They are more matte with the Flower and Nature Mod Molds, because of the matte silicone of those molds. These have such a strong sparkle, that they can visually obscure details. You could probably bring back some of those details with paint, but you will lose the depth of the glitter. Perhaps some metallic paint washes would be ok. I loved them best in the simple shapes from the Gem Mod Mold. There are some other new Mod Molds that the Mod Melts Glitters would look great in…Alphabet, and the gears from Industrial.

I played with mixing some of the formulas, to bring out certain details in the molds. The strawberry is red glitter and green neon. The ice cream is pink neon and gold glitter. The cupcake the pink neon, red and silver glitter. The rainbow clouds are silver metallic, pink, orange, and yellow neon. The bird on a branch is yellow neon, gold and green glitters, the gem is gold metallic and glitters. The beaded strip is gold and silver metallic and glitters. To do these, I filled each detail with the separate color or formula, let them cool, and then added the next and so on. The rainbow clouds turned out to be too small to do this easily, so perhaps this one would be better painted. The bird on the branch and beaded strip turned out the best. This was fun to do.
