Acrylic, plus a few coats of different “finishing” paints/modpodge/glow/glitter stuff.
I mostly go with the 0.50 cent Walmart paints, stuff on clearance at Michaels, and occasionally luck into stuff at the thrift store that isn’t dried out.
I usually dump a bunch of different colors on the palette and challenge myself to use up as much as I can by the end of the night.
That’s a good challenge! I do this when I’ve mixed too much paint and am done on the og, as I have a few pieces going at the same time. Being able to see which era my stuff is from because they share paints is kinda cool.

Mixed into paints or just as top coats?
Mixing things into funky coloured art potions is so much fun, a good portion of my art process is just playing with glitter and mica and glowy stuff, ha ha.
Pva glue gets some really cool textures going when used over or under certain finishes, what were you using it for?

I thrift little wooden trays, paint them, then apply a finish/sealant. I use them to store my art supplies. Also painted my trash can.
Ooh, those look really pleasingly tactile, I like the glued on beads, and I like your colours too, especially the flower stencils on the bin(?)!
The magic of dollar tree stencils! I have a few others in some fun “paisley” patterns.
