How To Create Your Own Nail Polish - Steps To Create Indie Polish

I am super duper excited about sharing this post. This is all about my first attempt at creating a home grown nail polish (yeah one day I'm going to start my own brand *dreams!). Below are two beauties - midnight sparkle on the left and purple romance on the right!

How To Create Your Own Nail Polish (Indie Polishes)

The above picture is of the two polishes I created - will tell you more details in the post below.

I always used to wonder when people used the term 'Indie' or 'franken' for polishes. I learnt that home grown polishes are called Indie or franken and there is a difference in when you call a home made polish an Indie polish versus when you call it a franken.

Lets clarify the two terms.

Indie Polish

A polish that is made from scratch - yes this is what I'll show you soon. This is where you take a suspension base, color pigment and optional glitter elements to create your very own polish.

franken Polish

This is a polish that you create by using any existing polish and mixing it with other colors or adding glitter to it - basically starting off with something pre-existing and transforming it into your own.

Now getting to the fun part.
