in this video we’re gonna look at what
happens if you gather together a whole
lot of nail polish and throw it on a
stove
we’ve tried something similar to this
twice before once with superglue and
once with whiteout correction fluid and
we had different results those are both
flammable liquids but they didn’t react
the same way so maybe today we’ll find
out if the nail-polish reacts more like
the superglue or more like the whiteout
the plane is simple we’re gonna empty
all 48 of these bottles into our pot
turn on the heat and watch what happens
now these do have a warning on them
they’re flammable how flammable we’re
talking here we’ve got a rock well
you’ve got some dip home heat some on
and pull with a torch your fingernails
look just lovely today mr. rock I don’t
know what girls taco and they’re getting
[Music]
well didn’t do a whole lot look like it
maybe caught on fire for a second there
then just went out huddle up a little
bit more of this all right
there we go now that’s burning on its
own
[Music]
and it without I would say that is less
flammable than the whiteout but still
flammable clearly so it is flammable I
think we need to see what happens if we
try and get rid of all of the solvents
and liquids in that by heating them up
on the foot so now we get to empty 48
bottles of nail polish into this pot
there’s not a lot in each one of these
but there is small metal ball used for
mixing the nail polish up and I’m not
going to dig those out in the fingers so
we’re just gonna have a pot full of a
lot of nail polish and probably 48 small
metal beads
we’ve got our pot full of nail polish
and it’s not all the way full but that
is the most full of nail polish I have
ever seen anything we’re gonna set that
down on our burner light it up we’re
gonna start on low see what happens that
is on low can’t really see it but see
that does light this grass on fire now
we see what the heat does to the nail
polish
[Music]
we’re starting to get a couple of
bubbles bubbling around the edges as
well does have a little bit of a skin on
top of it even not quite so much as the
whiteout did but some
or more of this skin back because I
really like seeing the bubbling action
and how its kind of mixing the colors
everywhere there’s not a skin all of
these colors around the edge are getting
a little bit muddled and darker and
slightly muddy colored and I don’t know
if that’s because they’re mixing with
other colors as they boil or something
about the chemical process of being
heated up is actually causing them to
change colors it’s informing you Jim I
just got a whiff of that that’s potent
[Music]
we’re gonna try turning up the heat a
little bit we actually now have a pretty
uniformly boiling substance here there’s
bubbles coming up all through it it’s
not really got much of a film anymore I
think the heat may have made that all
break up and our color is becoming more
and more uniform all the way through
it’s not there yet we’ve still
definitely got a Pinker bit over here
some bluer over here a little bit of
orange tint there and pretty modeled in
the middle and then there’s these little
bits on top and that’s just sort of the
remnants of the skin and some other
colors that are mixing quite as much ooh
sticking the stick down onto the bottom
there’s some thicker gunky substance
doesn’t look like anything because it
gets coated on its way up but up here
very much liquid and send down on the
well we’ve seen this reaction before we
hit a flash point it just got so hot
that it ignited it’s possible that some
fumes did make it I don’t know how it
would go down but you know that might
have gone over the side and sort of
active as a channel from the flames
[Music]
[Music]
well I didn’t work so great
[Music]
some kind of vapor right there
it does reignite easily quite easily now
the surface of it is just burning
apparently the vapors coming off are
flammable nifty
[Music]
random helpful tip coating the bottom of
metal containers in your shower with
nail polish can help prevent them from
[Music]
there we go
[Music]
well there you go
this is nail polish pretty much all of
the liquid burned right out of it and
gotta say I do not recommend boiling and
lighting on fire large batches of nail
polish at once that’s just a bad plan
don’t do it there’s so much left like
very little actually burned away I feel
like we have almost the same mass
obviously something is lost but it looks
like we have quite a bit left here all
the bright vibrant nail polish colors
are gone it’s just charcoal colored so
what happens when you burn stuff it’s
some of the bright vibrant colors left
over just on my hand that is some of the
coolest looking trash I’ve ever seen all
right guys it’s time for more question
and answer we’ve got some good questions
that you guys have sent in we’ll see if
we can give you some answers for them
Preston Hawkins at fat 2slow wants to
know is there a myth you would try with
at don’t try this now that’s Adam Savage
from Mythbusters that’s his twitter
handle so he’s asking if there are any
myths we would like to try with Adam
Savage the answer is that we’d be happy
to try out anything with him we’ve got
some fun larger scale experiments that
we’d like to do maybe some explosions I
imagine he’s still got some contacts in
that part of the world he is an
extremely busy person so getting on his
schedule might be kind of difficult but
if you would like to see us do something
with Adam Savage formerly of Mythbusters
currently of the YouTube channel tested
where they do some really cool amazing
stuff you should check them out you can
let them know leave some comments maybe
tweet at him and if you would like to
see us work together then maybe you guys
can make that happen and I’m sure we can
come up with a lot of really cool fun
experiments to try there are always more
myths in the world that need testing and
busting that’s it for today but the fun
is not over that box at the top will
take you to our last video you should
check that one out the box at the bottom
will show you what YouTube things you
should be checking out next and this
bomb in the middle will subscribe you to
the channel in that way you never miss
out on the fun don’t forget to ring that
Bell and we’ll see you the next one
back to you then [Music]
