Having well-decorated nails is a fashion trend that never goes out of style.

However, getting it done in a nail salon can sometimes be costly, and in rare cases, a specific color is not available exactly when you want it!

Doesn't that make you wish it's possible to make your own nail polish color instead?

Fret not, we have an easy guide for DIY nail polish using eyeshadow and other materials you can find at home.

Here are what you will need:

• Clear nail polish
• Eyeshadow
• Glitters (optional)
• Ziplock
• Spoon
• Scissors
• Toothpick

After you prepared the needed materials, you can now move forward to the 3-step process of making your own DIY nail polish.

Step 1

From your eyeshadow palette, choose a color that you want to use for your DIY nail polish.

Remove the chosen eyeshadow color from the palette case and crush it in a Ziplock using a spoon.

Use the curved side of the spoon to prevent damaging the Ziplock.

If you want, you may also add glitters to the powdered eyeshadow and mix it.

Step 2

Cut a small hole on the edge part of the Ziplock and pour the powdered eyeshadow (or the eyeshadow and glitter mixture) into a bottle with clear nail polish.

Step 3

Using a toothpick, mix the powdered eyeshadow (or the eyeshadow and glitter mixture) and clear nail polish until it's well-blended.

If you don't have a toothpick, you may shake it until it's well-blended.
