How to Make Your Own Glitter Nail Polish

Last month we hosted a Birthday party for my niece who was turning thirteen. This party consisted of 7 girls plus my niece for a fun sleepover at her mother’s house. Just like most teen girls, they are into bath, body and beauty products and have a lot of fun experimenting with products and developing their own unique looks.

My sister asked me to make some Birthday Party Favors that would thrill some 13 & 14 year old girls and one of the things that I made for all of them was some cute bottles of nail polish. Here is how I made them.

DIY – Glitter Nail Polish

Clear Nail Polish (we got our’s at the Dollar General Store)
Cosmetic Grade Glitter (we purchased it online and selected their school colors of black and white)
Cosmetic Funnel (also purchased online but you can use whatever you have on-hand)

Working with glitter is messy. Lay down some newspaper before you get started. Open up the clear nail polish bottles and use the funnel to put a little glitter of each different color into the bottle. You don’t need a lot of glitter and I would recommend not mixing more than 3 colors into one bottle. Place the lid back on top and shake them vigorously to disperse the glitter evenly through.

Once done, you can decorate the bottles with some satin ribbon and metal charms that are available at your local craft store. We also printed out little sticker labels using the computer and put those on the bottles. We bought cellophane party bags at the Dollar General Store and also picked up some nail files, toe separators and nail clippers there too and made each girl their very own manicure & pedicure pack.

All of the girls really loved these Birthday party favors which are perfect for any teenage girl. Super quick & easy to make up and affordable too!
