Pearl-shaped ornaments that become hooked. Do you want to know how to make them fit perfectly into your projects?
Nuvo is one of those products that is simple to use but produces amazing results. It’s just some colour with a three-dimensional effect that’s perfect for making enamel drops, drops, or pearls for use as a decorative element.
We already know that we can buy pre-made dots or drops, but with the Nuvo, our creativity is sparked because we can create an infinite number of elements and use them however we want. As a result, today we’ll go over what Nuvo products are available for this purpose, as well as some tips and ideas on how to use them. And… we have to say something about it because we always warn you about certain products being addictive!
The first thing we notice about Nuvo is its bottle. It’s stunning on its own, with a diamond crystal cut into the lid. And there are different types of Nuvo depending on the finish we want for our enamel drops:

a broad range It comes in soft and pastel colours and has a glittery finish. It comes in 16 different colours.
And now that you know the product, let’s go to the tips and ideas that we know you enjoy.
How to use the Nuvo
We’ll need a little practise to make perfect enamel drops, but don’t let that scare you because it’s very simple. The trick is not to press the tip of the bottle against the surface of the paper because doing so will only spread the product without allowing it to shape. To get a perfect enamel drop, we’ll need to leave a space between the tip and the paper so the drop can fall and be shaped.
On what surface do you use the Nuvo Drops?
There are several options, and which one we choose can affect the outcome of our pearls or dots. You can use the Nuvo directly in your project, but we recommend doing so only after you’ve mastered it.
We can also make the enamel drops on other surfaces, letting them dry before removing them to use in our projects with a little glue. However, as previously stated, the outcome may vary depending on the surface.
The drops will be more curved and less rounded on vegetable paper, and more irregular and not completely flat on the back, though they are easy to remove from the vegetable paper once they’ve dried.
The drops are also easier to handle and extract on acetate paper or polypropylene plastic, and they are flatter, more enamel dot-like, and not as curved as on vegetable paper.
It’s also very simple to apply to the back of 3D adhesive paper. As a result, flat enamel dots with more volume than acetate or polypropylene are produced. They’re also completely removable as long as the reverse side is glossy. If the surface is matte and porous, the drops will become stuck to it and will be nearly impossible to extract.
