Isopropyl alcohol is a fast-evaporating alcohol. It is added to soften the synthetic polymers in the polish. Triphenyl phosphate is a crystalline solid used to further increase the flexibility and durability of the nail polish and to improve how the polish adheres to the nail. Trimethyl pentanyl diisobutyrate and ethyl tosylamide are similar additives in that they add flexibility to the polymers in the nail polish. The addition of tosylamide/formaldehyde resin also makes the finished veneer less brittle. Nail polish manufacturers add tosylamide/formaldehyde resin to change the nitrocellulose so that it is shiny in addition to being tough and durable. Nitrocellulose adds durability, toughness and solubility to the nail polish. Nitrocellulose helps nail polish form a film and adhere to the nail. Propyl acetate is a similar solvent with an odor characteristic of pears. Alone, the two chemicals are clear and contain a fruity scent. It is still very easy to use without being attached to the parts.Both ethyl acetate and butyl acetate are solvents typically found in nail polish and other nail care products. I took it off permanently, but when I need to use it, I do not need to put it back onto the other two sections. I found that to just use the crusher, the pill cutter is a real pain and is in the way and more difficult to use. Toluene, xylene, and formalin or formaldehyde are toxic. Examples of solvents include ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and alcohol. The amount and type of solvent determine how thick a polish is and how long it will take to dry. Once you apply the polish, the solvents evaporate away. It all comes as one piece that breaks down into 3 separate sections: the pill cutter on top, the crusher in the middle, and the drinking cup on the bottom. Usually, the first ingredient (s) in nail polish are solvents. The first one is available at Walgreens for around $7.
They do make automatic pill crushers if you have problems with your hands. As you can see there is one for everyone no matter what ailment you may have. The pictures below give you an idea of the various kinds of pill crushers available on the market today. Use a PILL CRUSHER! It is very durable, inexpensive can be found almost anywhere, simple to use, no mess, easy to pour into funnel, easy to clean, won't hurt your hands, easy to clean, and small enough to store with your polish making materials in a makeup caddy or bag. I read the first page of comments, but did not see the most obvious way to crush the eyeshadow. I'm going to do this myself and I think anyone who tries this should do it too. :)ĬOMMENT UPDATE: A few of you have suggested putting either a bb or a glass bead into the bottle to help the polish get mixed. I think I could have worn it longer - I only had one tiny chip on my right hand! Came off pretty easy too, but the glitter is always tricky. POLISH UPDATE: It ended up lasting four days, which is not bad for cheapy nail polish. I'll report back! It's held up well so far and I've had a hot shower and washed a load of dishes since yesterday.
Now we'll have to see how long it lasts! I ended up doing a base coat of the purple polish I made, covering that with the gold glitter polish, and topping that with a clear top coat. You don't want the glitter snagging on your clothes/hair/pets/whatever. The glitter polish turned out great as well - just make sure to do a clear top coat over it because craft glitter can be a little chunky. I really do like this more than most polish I've bought! The polish I made from eyeshadow is really matte and shimmery, and it dries quicker than normal polish as well. If you're unsure about how much eyeshadow to use, see the next step! This polish will settle after it's been sitting around for a few hours, but it is easily remedied by a bit more shaking. You don't want to see any clumps or dark spots in the polish! I did lots of shaking and rolling it between my hands - it took a minute or so to get everything nice and smooth. Screw the top back on and shake like a madperson. Try to be quick while doing this, otherwise the nail polish brush can dry out and you'll have to get the nail polish remover after it to clean it up. If the eyeshadow gets grumpy and starts to clump at the bottom of the funnel, use a toothpick to help push it through. Tap the funnel to get the eyeshadow to fall down into the bottle.
Use the piece of paper you've chopped the eyeshadow up on to transfer the eyeshadow - just fold it in half and tip it into the funnel. Unscrew the cap and wipe the excess polish off the brush and set it to the side on a scrap of paper so it doesn't ruin anything.
