Homemade Nail Polish Reviews

So i recently just discovered homemade nail polish. I ordered a few bottles off of etsy.com. You would think this type of nail polish would be fairly cheap, but its just about the same price as drugstore nail polishes. I wasn't to thrilled about that, but after trying out two of the colors I have purchased I can say they are worth every penny! They came in cute little 5ML bottles, and I was able to get 4 bottles for $20. Below you will see swatches of two of the colors I recently purchased. Please leave comments letting me know your thoughts...:-)


First we have the color "witchy woman" (a jelly black base (not opaque) with multi colored glitter)
I had to wear a black base coat under this color for the glitter to really pay off. All I used for the black base was sinful colors "black"




Next we have Twilight Sparkle, which I believe is my favorite. Its a very gorgeous lilac purple color, with chunky glitter, the glitter is various sizes and colors & the base is very buildable and opaque, but I wanted the color to really pop so I ended up pairing it up with Essie "Love & Acceptance" as the base color. Which one do you like better?

Nails Inc Special Effects "SPRINKLES"

I was so excited when I found out Nails Inc. was releasing a brand new line. The "SPRINKLES" collection. Every one of these colors are unique in its own way! I purchased these from Sephora.com, they retail for $9.50 a piece, and they are worth every penny! I couldnt just pick one color, I had to get the ENTIRE collection! From left to right we have: Pudding lane (teal, with navy and gold sprinkles), Topping lane (pink with cerise, silver, and purple sprinkles), Sweets away (white with pastel blue, pink, and silver sprinkles), and Sugar house lane (pastel grey with Monochrome sprinkles). I will upload more pictures once I have swatches of the colors on my natural nails! Stay tuned. :-)
