There's literally a million on youtube I have a bunch in my liked vids. I'd link but like seriously just search resin and you'll get almost all the ones I have. That's how I learned.

I use EasyCast cause my local ACMoore sells it so I just use a coupon. Molds, I'd say go on Storenvy and type what you want for some specialty ones. Otherwise, aliexpress had a bunch of cheap ones (that I picked up for like $0.70 each) if you don't mind waiting. OR make your own. I'm actually creating sculpey pieces atm so I can bake them then make a mold out of them. Molds wise, try to get silicone cause they're easier to pop the resin out of. I have a few plastic ones and it's treacherous sometimes lol.

Coloring wise, I use eyeshadow (like cheap shit ELF or w/e), chalk pastel, acrylic paint (careful cause too much will effect them curing) and sometimes food coloring. Each type will give you a different effect. Don't be afraid to experiment. Glitter can sometimes color as well, usually finer glitter works better for this. Definitely get some fine glitter, it looks reaaally nice. Also tinsel glitter, confetti, and cellophane glitter are nice too.

I'm no pro, I only started using resin a few months ago. You're definitely going to make mistakes in the beginning. If you have any other questions you can ask me. Resin work really isn't difficult. Pic is the first batch of resin I made back in like April.
