Homemade Nail Polish

My Nails of the day are inspired by cotton candy.  I don’t own a aqua, teal, or anything close to the color I needed, but I did have a eyeshadow pigment that was the exact color I was wanting.  So I decided to come up with my own DIY nail color.  It was pretty simple and I’m happy with the results.

What you need

  • Clear Nail Polish ( I used a bottle that was half gone)
  • Fine Color Pigment ( I used an eyeshadow pigment)
  • Small Funnel
  • Extra – If you want you could add in fine glitter if that’s the look your going for

All you need to do it mix the pigment into the clear nail polish and close the lid and shake.  Simple.  If you use less pigment you will have more of a translucent color and use more for a  brighter more opaque result.  With the aqua color I made above I only needed 2 coats to get a nice even result.

Colorful Polka Dot Nails

Help! My Nail Glue Lid is Glued Shut! What can I do?!…Who knows.  I have 3 that sit on my shelf glued shut.  I’ve tried just about everything.  If anyone has any awesome ideas to save my 3 other bottles let me know.

On the bright side I found nail glue for $1 at Dollarama. So I did some cute, quick and easy colorful polka dots.
