A lotta UGLY leftovers...

I've heard that you can make old eyeshadows into nail polish.

Sure enough there was a pin on pinterest for it. The pin that I have, comes from Nevertoomuchglitter.

I think we all might have a few old ugly eyeshadows lurking in our bathrooms. Why not upcycle them?? 

Thankfully fresh from my huge no heat hair straightening sugar FAIL, I was out to have a SUCCESS! Ladies and Gents...IT WORKED. Yeah, I have a couple tips to use while making it. I had to learn through trial and error. You really need to keep an eye on the consistency of the mix though. 

All you need, is a few things. 

It's fairly simple. 

1. Dig out the ugly shadow you are going to use.

2. Place it on the container of choice.

3. Drop a generous amount of clear polish on it....

4. VERY IMPORTANT- get an old polish brush from a color you don't care for and mix it with that.

5. The consistency should be like the middle of the mixture you see in 5.

The consistency is obviously a big deal. Here is the difference between a good vs bad consistency

Did I use the word consistency enough?? haha

The picture on the LEFT is clearly the crappy mix.

The picture on the RIGHT is the RIGHT mix. 

Big big difference. Like I said, be generous with the clear polish. 

Top it all off with a clear coat and you will be good to go!

Happy Painting.
