Introduction:

Clear nail polish is a versatile beauty tool that can be used for various purposes, such as adding shine to your nails, protecting nail art, or acting as a base coat for colored polish. While store-bought clear nail polish can serve these purposes, making your own at home can be an affordable and fun alternative. Here are three simple methods to create clear nail polish in the comfort of your own home.

Method 1: Using PVA Glue and Water

Ingredients:

– 1/2 cup of PVA glue (white crafting glue)

– 1/4 cup of water

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the PVA glue and water.

2. Mix them together thoroughly until you achieve a smooth consistency.

3. Pour this mixture into an empty nail polish bottle or another small container with an applicator brush.

4. Apply the homemade clear nail polish to your nails and let it dry completely.

Method 2: Using Gelatin and Water

Ingredients:

– 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin

– 1/4 cup of hot water

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the unflavored gelatin in hot water. Stir well until fully dissolved.

2. Allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature.

3. Once cooled, pour the liquid into an empty nail polish bottle or another suitable container with an applicator brush.

4. Apply this gelatin-based clear nail polish to your nails and let it dry completely.

Method 3: Using Clear Top Coat and Cornstarch

Ingredients:

– Clear topcoat nail polish (base)

– Cornstarch

Instructions:

1. Pour a small amount of clear topcoat nail polish into a mixing container.

2. Add in cornstarch one pinch at a time to the nail polish base until you achieve a consistency that suits your preference.

3. Mix the cornstarch completely into the clear topcoat, ensuring there are no lumps or visible clumps. If needed, use a toothpick or mini spatula to help with mixing.

4. Once you’re happy with the consistency, pour the clear nail polish mixture into an empty nail polish bottle or another appropriate container with an applicator brush.

5. Apply your cornstarch-based clear nail polish to your nails and let it dry.
