is there a way to make water armor and condense the water?
i want to make an armor made of liquid, for example like dew accumulate and attached to the person or just dip into water and the water attached/carried on (just example), but it also condense the liquid (make it dense enough), to make it not easily scattered/splash away and to buoyant/pushaway any object at least something like a mass of steel mace and the force of bullet penetration from passing through.

i dont know the thickness, but i guess at least the minimum is as thick as plate armor. (correct me if that is to much for a protection thickness of this kind)
while the maximum thickness or density or heavyness at least not make the person cant move at all
the outer layer of the armor must be the liquid so no full coverage material like water bed or water baloon thing.
and its fine if other small substance or material disolve into the liquid like salt to create something like dead sea effect for the liquid armor.
and the inside layer can be any material or mechanism to keep the water in place or the person can be covered by this material but not the water itself (i mean the material not fully covering the water, like water bed for example), so something like a vest/suit or armor that work as inside layer (not necessarily protective as secondary armor) while the outer layer is liquid, the liquid itself is not must be attached directly on the persons naked body either.
the liquid and the mechanism or material doesnt necessarily attached either it can have some gap or floating around it, like for example because it have magnetic field (i dont know is this can work in this case though, this just an example)
here a rough image to (maybe) help to imagine what i mean
balistic gel or something like jelly is out of the question, i want proper liquid.
is there a method or chemical that can achieve what i describe ?
i know theres many ways to counter this armor like boiling or freezing it or maybe using water repelant substance or even electrocution but thats not part of my question.
feel free to suggest better liquid material for the liquid armor if water is not possible or a bad material for liquid armor.
