Hey GL girlies! Yearning for that perfect manicure, but can’t find the right shade? We’ve got you covered! Here’s how to make your very own nail polish. It’s so simple!
 
What you’ll need:
 
Your fave shade of loose eye shadow
Clear nail polish
Small spoon
Small bowl
Plastic bag (optional)
Nail polish remover (optional)
 
What you’ll do:
 
1. Making your own nail polish is super easy! Start out by pouring some of the clear polish in a small bowl. Start off with only a little, because sometimes the eye shadow doesn’t mix well.  You can add more later if you like.

2. Scoop out a little bit of eye shadow. If it isn’t loose shadow, put it into a plastic bag and break it down.

3. While stirring the clear polish, gradually add the eye shadow. The more you add, the more opaque the color will be. If you want to make more polish, add more clear polish.

4. Get creative! Add in glitter, mix colors, or add more eye shadow.

5. If the polish gets a little too thick, add a small drop of remover to the mix.

6. If you want to save some for later, find a small, clean glass container (old nail polish bottles work perfect).

Try it out and show off your one-of-a-kind color, girl!
 
Gift it! Make a trio of gorgeous colors and give 'em away, girl. They're perfect prezzies for party hostesses, secret Santa picks, friends, cousins, sibs--everyone!

Tried first time & loved it!

I found an easier, & less messier way to do this.

Clear nail polish bottle (with the polish in)
Piece of Paper
Eyeshadow
Plastic bag (optional)

1. If you have compact eyeshadow, take it out & crush it until powder.
2. Get a whole piece of paper, & form a funnel type shape.
3. Stick the end of the funnel to the top of the nail polish, & dump in the other end the crushes shadow.
4. Shake it up! & it's great to use Smile

Tips:

*Make sure it is finely chopped eye shadow.
*Make sure the funne is secure.
*Cover the area with a towel & put plastic gloves over your hands to prevent discoloration & a mess.
*You can also add glitter, but don't let it get too clump.

*ALSO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT GLITTER GLUE, OR IT'LL RUIN IT.
