I have a tendency to hoard nail polish. I can't buy just one color. I am compelled to buy them all. As I was browsing my collection, I realized I could be doing so many things with my nail polish, and I wanted to try using it for decorations!


I picked 2 pretty shades, specifically one with confetti, and grabbed a 2 pack of ornaments from the dollar store.


First, I carefully removed the top.
Then I poured in a touch of each nail polish.


The first attempt at this craft, taught me an important lesson.
You must allow this to dry before replacing the cap, or the nail polish will remain liquid.
To dry the polish, I recommend blow drying on the cool setting for about 2 minutes, but be careful to not place the dryer right up against the ornament!


This is such a great and easy craft. The ornaments turned out lovely and were so much fun to share! We made red and blue ones!
