How to make marbled nail polish mugs.
Are marbled mugs with nail polish toxic.
I used nail polish i already had at home which means i was able to make six nail polish mugs for less than 5.
First fill your container with hot water.
But the second mug i pulled it straight up and then dipped it again to cover more of the mug with the polish floating on the water s surface.
This one however is right up my alley.
I found my mugs for 79 each at goodwill.
The best thing about these nail polish mugs is that they only costs a couple of dollars to make and even less time to finish.
I have a slew of nail polish colors so i already had everything that i needed to do.
Hold the nail polish bottle close to the water otherwise the drops will fall to the bottom instead of resting on the surface.
If you ve accidentally gotten nail polish too close to the lip of the mug or if there are some spots on your mug that you re just not happy with don t worry.
Pour your nail polish into the water.
Partly because it s a coffee cup and partly because it uses fingernail polish to make the colors.
2 things happened here i got some crazy abstract marbling which it turns out i love but i also got some bubbles that popped and stuff that gave my mug more texture than i was hoping for.
Nail polish is toxic only about as toxic as sticking your fingernail in your mouth but still it s also not dishwasher safe so when you re giving it as a gift know it likely won t last long.
So i bet you ve seen these watercolor inspired mugs hanging out on pinterest and the interwebs but they are all made out of nail polish.
