Pigment Nail Polish Mixing Trick

by - Saturday, December 04, 2010

I love to make my own nail polishes by mixing pigments with nail polish. Recently I discovered a little trick.

Most people mix it on a paper plate or on something flat and disposable. I find that the mixture moves around too much and dries out too fast. Something welled works much better. 

I started using empty gum packages. 
package used a few times before. 
A scoop of pigment
pigment in well
nail polished poured into pigment and mixed
mineral pigment used (bronzer) 
end result
I find this method much cleaner, faster and you don't waist as much or have to risk putting the brush back into the bottle to get more polish.

steps:
1. scoop pigment into empty well
2. poor desired amount of polish into well
3. mix
4 paint.
5. clean brush with some polish remover and put back into bottle
All Done! Easy and fast.
