Can you make Nail Polish?

Hey Guys, so I was wondering if you can make Nail Polish? I was wondering, because you never see a kit in the store "Make your own Nail Polish" like you do with soaps, lotions and even makeup. So I was just wondering. I would love to (some day) have a company that makes all natural/organic nail polish. So what all is involved in making it? I am 13 by the way.. haha

Thanks!

    To make the nail polish itself, you probably need certain chemicals and professional mixing equipment. I do know that you can add ground eyeshadow to white nailpolish to turn it colors, though.

    Black nail polish would be on either. if you are goth or it's hallowen it's soo cute and in. But if it's for just cause soooooooo tack. Red nail polish always in. It looks cute with anything. It's a great way to brigten up an outfit or someons day! I like when they put a very pale blue and put a pretty design on. Once i got rainbow colored ... so 7 colors per nail. It looked sooo cute. I also do enjoy french manicures to. i think they look so cute and natural...(sometimes). Great question btw.

  • Your dream is great, everyone should go green. One thing you can do is look at the back of the nail polish, and see if there are any natural substitutes for some of the chemicals.

    no there's to many chemicals for it to be safe to do it at home.
