Mix Nail Polish Colors for a Custom Look

A resounding amen to the idea. I have done it for years and while cast in an international TV commercial the wardrobe and makeup people asked what color polish I was using, they loved it and wanted to get some for their supplies..Had to tell them it was my own combo of "Wet 'n Wild" polish (cheapo). What fun!

That's a great idea! I seem to have about 5 bottles of almost the same exact color. Doesn't everybody?

Great idea! I collect nail polish and this is a common thing among us collectors, called Frakening. You're right on the nail polish remover. When mixing different brands sometimes they thicken up, use Nail Polish Thinner, a few drops at a time (Sally's Beauty has it for cheap). Also, a GREAT tip for mixing, use stainless steel BB's, 2 in a jar will work great for mixing the colors. You can get them cheap at WalMart, but you'll have them for years, try a hubby or someone who has a BB gun, they can spare a few!

I have done this with colors I didn't like alone such as one too dark and one too light. When they are mixed together they make a nice color.
