Using up old makeup products in creative ways is all the rage. The latest beauty trend? Transforming eyeshadow into custom nail polish for stunning, salon-worthy manicures.
This budget-friendly hack lets you repurpose eyeshadow collecting dust in your makeup drawer. With just a few simple steps, you can give old powder shadow new life as a dazzling DIY nail lacquer.
Start by painting your nails with a base and top coat, leaving space for the eyeshadow polish in between. Using an old brush, pat eyeshadow directly onto each nail in your desired shade or ombre blend. The powder adheres surprisingly well for a polished look.
Unlike gel manicure kits, this eyeshadow polish lets you create custom nail colors without worrying about harsh ingredients. It’s the perfect project for playing with color combinations and testing trends risk-free.
Finish by sealing the eyeshadow with a shiny top coat for long-lasting wear. The end result rivals salon manicures at a fraction of the cost.
While regular polish doesn’t have the extreme durability of gel, the eyeshadow version lasts decently and removes easily with regular nail polish remover. Use this clever hack to get more mileage out of old makeup. Your nails will look simply stunning.
