A DIY method to add a vintage rainbow oil slick effect to jeans. Start with blue denim dyed black, bleach the shoulders, apply a custom glue mixture, then press transparent oily foil onto the fabric. Sponge-applied dirt completes the messy, wax-like finish.
It's a really unique kind of foil that is transparent but with this oily effect. These jeans have this rainbow effect with this dirt effect. The aim of this was to achieve like a vintage wash, really crazy and messy foil. We dirty like with a sponge and then we apply the foil underneath. How did you achieve this wax denim look? We start from a blue base, so it's a blue denim that we over-dye black. We block like this to achieve this effect. We bleach like in certain areas, like the shoulder. And then we apply this glue that is our mix that we developed during the years. And then we press. The material that you put on top when you press, that gives this look.
