Well, guess what, you have endless options for nail creativity by creating custom shades of polish. Don your mad scientist goggles and learn how to make your own nail polish at home!
Start by gathering your supplies: clear nail polish, a few empty nail polish bottles with mixing balls and colorant. ( Tip- Use quality supplies for a great end result!)
Choose a non-toxic clear coat, to limit your exposure to toxins traditionally found in nail polish. Start by filling your empty bottle with the clear nail polish.
Select high-quality pigments, or colorants for your desired color. These can be mica powders, eyeshadow pigments, or even food coloring.
The quality of your pigments will impact the vibrancy and longevity of your nail polish.
Mixing your nail color thoroughly is the key. Use a toothpick or a mixing stick to stir the mixture thoroughly. Screw on the lid and give it a good shake for at least 2-3 minutes.
If you’re not happy with the color, add more colorant until you get a shade you’re happy with.
