<\/a><\/p>\n Hello there! Are you ready for the weekend? I know I sure am! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Don’t you just hate it when your nail polish goes bad? It seems like I buy a bottle, use it once (if I’m lucky), and then throw it away a year later because it got all thick and gunky. I know I can thin it out with nail polish remover, but then it takes forever to dry, and it my nail polish doesn’t dry in under a minute I have it smeared on my clothes, my laptop, my coffee cup, my cats… you get the idea.<\/p>\n Since I’ve been on an upcycle kick as of late, I started thinking about all that old nail polish I need to throw out. Once it gets old, it’s not good to paint my nails with let alone anything else because it just ends up a big old goopy mess. But I got to thinking- what if I took the painting part (in other words, using a brush) out of the equation? That’s how I came up with using it inside a Mason jar- no brushes required! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Please note that the finished product is for decorative purposes only and is not food safe and is not intended for food storage.<\/p>\n Since we are headed into Fall, I decided to use old pearlescent nail polish in Fall colors. I love how the colors shine inside the jar!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Note: You’ll want to do this in a well-ventilated area because using this much nail polish at once gets quite fume-y!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Pour some nail polish into the bottom of the jar. If the nail polish is thick and goopy, you can thin it out using a little nail polish remover (it works good for this, just not on my nails).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tilt the jar to and fro to spread the paint around. Add more paint as needed.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Keep adding paint and tilting the jar back and forth until you get near the top, then tilt the jar to let the paint run around the rim. It runs on the rim pretty well, but if some does run out, just wipe it up with a paper towel.<\/p>\nHow To Paint Mason Jars With Nail Polish<\/h2>\n
