  • Add food colouring to achieve your desired colour. We used 5 drops of navy blue food colouring. Stir well.

  • Optional: Add a tiny amount of mica powder to make the slime pearlescent. We used about 1/8 teaspoon in dark blue. Stir well.
    Feel free to add a bit more food colouring and mica powder until you're happy with the shade of blue.

Step 3: Activate the slime

  • Activate the slime by adding 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution.

  • Stir the mixture until you can’t anymore and it starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Press the mixture down to incorporate all the contact lens solution.

Step 4: Work the slime in your hands

  • Pick up the slime from the bowl and begin stretching it. It will be quite sticky at first, but don't panic! Continue stretching it and using it to clean the slime off your hands.

  • Continue pulling and folding the slime until it no longer sticks to your hands. You can add a couple more drops of contact solution if it's still a tiny bit sticky.
