This beauty tip has gone unnoticed for years, yet it deserves special attention as the holidays approach.
Nail polish enhances a beauty look with just one brush stroke. However, you only need to look closely at bathroom drawers to see that bottles die after being used two or three times, at most. Indeed, between changing desires and evolving fashions, shades accumulate faster than the opportunities to wear them. From there arises a simple question: how to further vary your nail polish collection without multiplying purchases?
The idea of diverting products already present in one’s kit has been developing for a long time, often out of pragmatism. Makeup palettes, rich in pigments, sometimes include shades chosen on a whim or that have become too bold for everyday life. These colors do not always meet the expectations for which they were purchased, but they remain interesting in their intensity, their reflections or their texture. Their formulation, designed to adhere to the skin and be worked with a brush, offers a wider field of experimentation than it seems. By revisiting their use, some see it as a way of giving a second life to shades left aside.
You will have understood, the trick is to use powder eyeshadow as pigment to create a new varnish color. A slightly sticky base is applied to the nail, then the shadow is applied with a finger or brush before being sealed with a top coat. Each palette shade thus becomes a potential shade of nail polish, with no limits other than those of the colors already available in your makeup. Certain metallic, iridescent or matte shades are thus finding a new role.
In this context, reusing what you already have becomes a way to access a much wider range of finishes without building up an endless reserve of products. In addition, the procedure is quick, requires little material and is easily adaptable, whether you prefer a covering finish or simply a colored veil. To test!
