Raspberry and Blackberry

Nail Polish

I made nail polish today!!

We were looking for a way for me to have nail polish without the chemicals and dyes.

My mom and I came up with this idea…

please know that this does come off easy when washing your hands or picking at your nails

but it was a very fun project.

Here is what you need:

glue, raspberries, blackberries, strainer, make-up or nail polish brush,

some containers, fork, spoon and a toothpick or something small for stirring

First you want to mash up the raspberries.

Next you will use the strainer to separate the juice so that there are no chunks.

Then we put the glue in a separate container.

We then started adding a little juice at a time while stirring to get the color I wanted.

If it gets too watery you will want to add more glue.

I wanted a brighter color so we decided to add in some blackberries.

Here it is.. we used the make up brush to paint it on my nails.

My mom put two coats of nail polish on my nails.

We found a miniature ketchup bottle at the store that we washed out

to use for my nail polish.

Here is another color we made using dark frozen cherries.

Hope you enjoy trying this out.

Thank you!!
