WHAT I'M WEARING

[JenPhelps]

I've been getting a few questions about whether or not the clear coat gets shadow in it so I thought I would address that here! I was wondering the exact same thing, but surprisingly, the shadow didn't gunk up the brush at all like I thought it would! There was a very slight trace of shadow on the brush when I was done but it didn't turn the clear coat green at all!

So many of us probably have huge eyeshadow collections, this is GENIUS!

Use your finger to apply the shadow. Using circular motions, burnish the shadow onto your nails. I feel like the warmth from your skin helps to melt the eye shadow onto the nail better.

This is a really good way to use up pressed glitters! I've seen a few gals on Instagram using the glitters on their nails as part of their project pans or pan that palette. Such a good idea to get the most out of our makeup 🙌

Finally a use for old eye shadow. What a fun idea.

OMG JENNNN 🤩🥰 thank you for the shoutout and I love that you tried this. I think it was streaky because you used a shadow with a transparent base - ones with a deeper base will not be streaky at all!!! AHHH also can’t get over the fact you just called me your friend 🥺🥺🥰🥰❤️❤️

I used to be obsessed with nail polish and looked up how to make your own nail polish years ago. I had seen videos where you can crush the shadow and then pour into a bottle of clear polish or base. You can also use loose pigments. A fun project to do with kids!

This is a great way to use up those non-eye safe pressed glitters, too!

Omg as a nail polish junkie And eyeshadow palette junkie I’m so excited by this!!!

[DogMomLW]

My problem is I have a ton of eyeshadow palettes AND a ton of nail polish AND I am now addicted to wearing press on nails instead of painting them 😂

I've been using eyeshadow as nail polish for months since I saw Rebecca Morgan here on YouTube showing this trick. I honestly can't use just nail polish, seems something is missing 😅I even use glitter that are not safe for the eyes.

If you do gel polish this is even better bc gel typically leaves a sticky inhibition layer. It looks incredible with multichromes!

[DanielleNicoleMakeup]

I got this one powder and it's weird you buff it in and it turns to chrome almost a glass look. It's really cool. Excited to watch this!

@RupyMinhas is an amazing person, creator and friend 💕 So glad you ladies know each other and you gave her a shout-out Jen !! 💖💯

I’m so intrigued by this. I’m so messy with nail polish this looks like an easier cleanup. Love your content🧡

[yesimthatlisa]

To me this is so great! I go through phases of buying polish and then not wearing it, ending up passing unused polishes on to friends - so this would save me a lot of money. Thanks for sharing this!

The Colourpop Kathleen Lights loose pigments from way back marketed they could be used for nails, but I never tried it. Wishing I hadn’t decluttered those now-they would be perfect for this technique!

[dreamscape]

LOVE THIS!! I have a multichrome eyeshadow from an indie brand that's too dark to wear on my eyes, and I can't wait to try it this way!! I was so disappointed I couldn't wear it, and it was expensive...$15.00 for a 10mm pan. So happy I can get some use out of it!

[gasparinha]

This is so cool! I recently mixed a ground-up glitter eyeshadow into a base coat and made a very cool polish, but that involved permanently destroying that shade (OK in this case - too much glitter fallout). I love that you can do this with shadows you actually like using without sacrificing them!

[amourcasse]

What a cool idea!! I am going to try this with some pigments I never use and I bet they'll look gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
