I'm going to do this myself and I think anyone who tries this should do it too. :)ĬOMMENT UPDATE: A few of you have suggested putting either a bb or a glass bead into the bottle to help the polish get mixed. I think I could have worn it longer - I only had one tiny chip on my right hand! Came off pretty easy too, but the glitter is always tricky. POLISH UPDATE: It ended up lasting four days, which is not bad for cheapy nail polish. I'll report back! It's held up well so far and I've had a hot shower and washed a load of dishes since yesterday. Now we'll have to see how long it lasts! I ended up doing a base coat of the purple polish I made, covering that with the gold glitter polish, and topping that with a clear top coat. You don't want the glitter snagging on your clothes/hair/pets/whatever.
The glitter polish turned out great as well - just make sure to do a clear top coat over it because craft glitter can be a little chunky. I really do like this more than most polish I've bought! The polish I made from eyeshadow is really matte and shimmery, and it dries quicker than normal polish as well. If you're unsure about how much eyeshadow to use, see the next step! This polish will settle after it's been sitting around for a few hours, but it is easily remedied by a bit more shaking.
You don't want to see any clumps or dark spots in the polish! I did lots of shaking and rolling it between my hands - it took a minute or so to get everything nice and smooth. Screw the top back on and shake like a madperson. Try to be quick while doing this, otherwise the nail polish brush can dry out and you'll have to get the nail polish remover after it to clean it up. If the eyeshadow gets grumpy and starts to clump at the bottom of the funnel, use a toothpick to help push it through. Tap the funnel to get the eyeshadow to fall down into the bottle. Use the piece of paper you've chopped the eyeshadow up on to transfer the eyeshadow - just fold it in half and tip it into the funnel. Unscrew the cap and wipe the excess polish off the brush and set it to the side on a scrap of paper so it doesn't ruin anything.
