When I first started crafting with nail polish, I didn’t even now that nail polish crafts were a thing. But on researching my first list of nail polish crafts, I was amazed at all the creative ideas out there, many of them suitable for gifting.

 

Scroll through these fun and easy nail polish crafts to gain some inspiration. Click on the photo or the title for the tutorial.

Then  stock up on every color nail polish imaginable! Nail polish works as a hard-wearing paint. While it can chip on some pieces, it doesn’t quite as quickly as it will  on your fingers.

I use both old polishes, and buy cheap bottles for crafting. I like to have a variety of finishes available to get the look I want – including crackle polishes and glittered textures.
