METHOD:

1. Take 2 full tablespoons of cornstarch and sieve them into a small bowl. Make sure that the texture is very fine and not lumpy.

2. Take the nail polish of your choice and make sure you use a partially full bottle to avoid overflow.

3. Fill a straw from one end and tap it gently into the nail polish bottle so that the cornstarch fills up inside the bottle.

4. Use a toothpick carefully to mix the content well.

5. Close the bottle tightly and shake it until the colour is even and uniform.

6. Your matte nail paint will now be ready to use!

Test your self-made vegan nail polish on a scrap of paper, let it dry so that you can see what it truly looks like. If the nail polish is too thick, add a drop or two of nailpolish thinner and if it's not matte enough, add in some more cornstarch.
