Portal - how do you make your own polish?
I had a huge collection of polish including every color of the cheap stuff (the dollar stuff from the grocery store.) I'd mix already made polish colors together into emptied polish bottles, making new colors. I'd also add glitter in various sizes if I wanted (huge chunks of glitter and shaped glitter are always fun. If you use your own glitter you need to use a non-glitter base coat.) My specialty was matte shades of white that would trick your eyes by being almost another color. That way you could do somthing like a pink nail with an white which is almost light blue french tip. Those colors also looked cute on toes. I could also match polish colors to clothing (for special events.) When the paint gets too dry you add a little bit of polish remover.
After they were the desired color, shine, and glitteriness, I'd sell the bottle.
Note: Don't try to use your own metal ball bearings as mixers. They rust.
