DIY: Glitter Nail Polish

         So when you go to the store, a bottle of glitter nail polish can be pretty expensive depending on what brand of nail polish you get. However you can make your own cute glitter nail polish or if you just want to make a current nail polish a little extra glittery.
          


         Okay, so what you will need for this cute DIY experiment is:
  • A piece of paper (to be used as a funnel )
  • A bottle of glitter of your choosing
  • A nail polish 
  • A shoe box you don't mind getting a bit glittery


So what you have to do is as follows:
  1. Figure out how glitter-dense you want your polish and set aside that amount of glitter in a small tube or vial.
  2. Fold your paper into a funnel, with the funnel emptying into the nail polish that you will be using.
  3. Slowly pour the glitter into the funnel so that it goes into your polish. I'd recommend not pouring it all at once so that you don't accidentally overdo it off the bat. You can always add more after steps 4 and 5.
  4. Shake up the bottle until it's all mixed up
  5. Try your polish out and see what it looks like. Repeat steps 3-5 if you need more glitter.

The final product should rival any glitter polish that you could buy at the store. Let me know how it turns out if you give this a try!
