Create a Clean Nail Polish That You'll Adore!

Creating your own clean nail polish at home can be a fun and rewarding process. Here's a simple beginner's guide to get you started:

Ingredients

1. Base Polish: Choose a 10-free or 7-free nail polish base, which is free of the most harmful chemicals commonly found in nail polishes.
2. Color Pigments: Use mica powders, natural mineral pigments or clean eye shadow powder. These can be found in cosmetic-grade quality for safety.
3. Mixing Balls: Stainless steel or glass mixing balls help mix the polish properly.
4. Nail Polish Bottles: Empty, clean nail polish bottles with brushes of your choice.

Tools

1. Small Funnel: To pour the base and pigments into the bottle.
2. Measuring Spoons: For precise measurements.
3. Mixing Stick: For blending the pigments with the base.

Steps

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure your workspace is clean and well-ventilated.
2. Add Base Polish: Using a small funnel, pour the base polish into the empty nail polish bottle. Fill it about 3/4 full to leave room for the pigments and mixing.
3. Add Pigments: Use a small measuring spoon to add a small amount of pigment into the bottle. Start with about 1/8 teaspoon and adjust as needed. It's easier to add more pigment than to remove it.
4. Insert Mixing Balls: Add one or two mixing balls into the bottle to help blend the pigment and base.
5. Mix Thoroughly: Screw the cap back on tightly and shake the bottle vigorously for a few minutes. The mixing balls will help blend the pigment evenly throughout the base polish.
6. Test and Adjust: Apply a test coat on a nail or a piece of paper to check the color and opacity. If the color is too light, add more pigment and shake again.
7. Label Your Creation: Once you're happy with your polish, label the bottle with the color name and date.

Tips

• Experiment with Colors: Mix different pigments to create unique shades.
• Use a Mixing Medium: If the polish is too thick, you can use a nail polish thinner, but ensure it's also free of harmful chemicals (try MELT from BeautyGARDE!).

• Storage: Store your nail polish in a cool, dark place to prevent it from thickening or separating.
