Hint from a former chemist: cut most of the stem of of your funnel. Put the eye shadow into a piece of paper, fold the paper to turn it into a "scoop", and pour it into the funnel from the paper-scoop in small portions. Flick the funnel a bit and it should go in easier.
I always love when you do videos similar to this! It would be awesome to have a "Mix-It Monday" where one Monday of the month you do some fun nail polishes mixes. You could mix nail polishes together again, mixpolish with eye shadow or other powder makeup pigments like highlighters and blush, or even use actual polish grade pigments/suspension to mix colors.
I have done this many times, I am not really an eyshadow person and if I wear one its usualy nude. A litle bit of adviace 1) I use a paper to tranfer the pigment in the bottle, I folde it in two and the pigment goes in the craks and its easier to pour in the bottel. 2) go slow with the pigment you can always add more but you cant remove it. 3) scrape the eyshadow super fine its easier to mix and also its a lot more satisfaing. 4) If you dont have mixing balls use a stick to mix the polish 5) always put a papertowel under your work space its going to be a mess. I personaly have never used a thiner but the top coat I used was very thine anyway, simmers always work best and the final prodact always looks mat, also you will notice that after you live the polish for some time the pigment will setle in the botom of the bottle its totally normal just sake it again and it will be fine. I dont know how long they last I have them for years but I dont use them offen . I have to say I never thought to put two colors together I will defenatly trie that, your colors look great.
I’d love to see another one where you test eye shadow quality to see if you get better or worse results! I love videos that are just fun while also informative! I’ve never done this but I don’t wear makeup so never had the supplies lol.
I think is a nice idea for an occasion in which you want to really match your makeup with your manicure. I'll do a really small amount and use it just for that day... I love it!
Something I learned from a book on nail polish is that matte topcoat is similar to suspension base-- not the same, obviously, but for the purposes of diying, it's a lot easier to get. I used it during quarantine when I decided to mix my nail polishes together and I wanted to add some mica shimmer.
I got several nail polish making kits from an indie maker. It's a lot of fun playing with real suspension base, glitter, shimmer, holo etc. There will be a topper kit available at Polish Pickup in April
These are so pretty! This is how I started when I got into nail polish because I was a broke little 9 year old who took her moms makeup and dollar store top coats to make more colors! This takes me back❤️ thanks for the thinner tip!
I have tried it. I used a very sheer white shimmery polish from Taylor Morgan and a Mac matte dark purple pigment. I wasn't using neither of them so...It turns out I have a beautiful shimmery mid tone purple polish to use now.😉
This was so much fun, I'd love to see a part 2!! Might be kinda interesting to see what the eyeshadows look like swatched? Or a matching makeup look? Thanks for another great video, it cheered my day! 💖
Just a tip if you ever do this again, when you scrap the eyeshadow out of the pallet dump it out onto a piece of paper, then the paper over ontop so the shadow is sandwiched and you can crush it to be smaller particles, then the paper is already creased so you can easily just tilt the paper into the bottle. No mess ♥
that duochrome rose gold is actually my favorite eyeshadow lmao, i have that palette as well as a single pan of just that color watching you break it killed me a little bit inside but it looked so good as a nail polish, wow
Love the colors of #2 and 6. How fun this would be. I do have a suggestion though. You can find 15 ml medicine cups to use for mixing in - measure a few mls of polish (less than what your bottle holds), then add your powder and mix with whatever small implement you have handy like an orangewood stick, pour in the bottle and top off with more polish to fill and shake. This may be a bit easier to control the lumps.
I would have crushed the powder between paper sheet and a spoon before using paper to pour in the funnel, but other than that... you made me want to go find my unused eye shadow and buy stuff on amazon to start doing this extra polishes I absolutely don't need but absolutely want 🤣
Over the last few months I’ve come to LOVE your channel and content. Now, I watch every video, I get excited for the days you upload. You’re so positive and fun to watch, your swatches are so comprehensive and well done, and I’m so glad I found your content!
Might sound a little more messy, but hear me out. When you pick out the eyeshadow crumbles into a bowl, mush them up with gloves hands or one of those grinding tools(for the life of me I can't remember what you call it) so make it more of a powder and get rid of the chunks :) then put it through the funnel
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I just threw out some eyeshadows yest, and now I can make them into pretty nail polishes. Thanks so much!
What a fun experiment! I never would have thought to try this. Maybe pushing the eye shadow through a strainer or crush it with a spoon or in a plastic bag as others have mentioned would help make the powder a little more fine. But that rose gold was amazing! And I loved the last one too with that little glimmer of the blue in there. Great job!
I love this video and it is a novel DIY nail polish idea. I have heard of people using unusual paints for nail polish, but never heard of eyeshadow as a pigment. I would recommend a few changes to your approach though. First, I would cut the pans from the palette instead of trying to scrape everything loose. I think scraping is too messy and too likely to contaminate other colors. Second, I would buy a mortar and pestle with a pour spout. I suggest the United Scientific JMD070 Mortar & Pestle Set from Amazon. Using this will produce a finer grind and eliminate much of the lumps. Third, I would add the thinner to the eyeshadow while it is in the mortar and mix with an artist's paint brush. Then pour this into your bottle and add the topcoat after. Mixing balls are great for remixing paint and polish. But I have found that they are never as good for the initial mixing. I would be tempted to mix everything in the mortar, but topcoat would be a problem if any dried in the mortar. Fortunately, nail polish thinner is mild and it will dissolve the eyeshadow. I expect that mixing balls would work well at this stage. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for the video!
This was a great video and I would love to see a part 2! Some things that might help you with consistency are getting a digital food scale with a tare button so you can quantify how much powder vs liquid you're using. Also, you could probably get a tiny mortar and pestle to process the powder before putting it in the bottle to smooth out the texture.
Back in the late 90’s or early 2000’s they sold loose mineral makeup. They had a certain kit to make nail polish, this reminds me of it. It was fun! Love your videos 💗
I wonder if you got individual pans and scraped them out and then tried to crush them up more if they would go into the bottle easier. I definitely want to see more!!!
I actually have been doing this for years. When I get tired of something I make franken polishes and mix in any eyeshadows, pigments and tiny glitters I can find until I get giggles out of it lol 😂❤
As a blue fan I wanted to see the blue by itself lol, love that blue. It probably exists 8 billion times over in nail polish but I wanted to see it anyway. Definitely want to see more vids like this. I've been holding onto a few older palettes in consideration of doing something like this myself
I would really like to see a part 2. These mixing videos are awesome. I am kind of surprised these were so opaque. I wonder what would happen if an eyeshadow was mixed with a colored polish instead of clear.
This was great to watch. I would love to see more videos like this. It was very satisfying to watch and see the final result. Definitely the shimmer eyeshadow hold the secret for a better consistency.
I have so many old eyeshadows that I never wear, I can't wait to try this! My daughter loves the makeup slime videos too but I'm much more of a nail polish person. To actually get use of some of these things could be so fun! Edit: I've been watching your videos casually for awhile and this has finally made me subscribe, I don't want to miss any updates!
I agree that mixing your own polish is super fun! I’m in the process of launching my own indie polish brand so I’ve mixed up a lot of polish and I have a few suggestions that might give you better results. I personally wouldn’t just mix the polish in the bottle. You can buy some small plastic medicine cups on Amazon for pretty cheap to mix in instead. Also I wouldn’t use top coat. I would suggest using clear polish so it doesn’t dry too fast on you or you can even buy legit nail polish suspension base from Glitter Unique. You just pour a little bit of the clear polish into the medicine cup then a little of the eyeshadow and mix it together with a popsicle stick or something. Once it is all mixed together well and you get out all the clumps, you can pour it into the bottle and you don’t need the funnel at all. Just squeeze the cup and it should pour in easily. If you don’t have enough to fill the bottle just top it off with some more clear then shake it up and you’re done. This way should help it not be clumpy and make sure it all mixes in better. Also you will know if you added too much pigment before you waste a bottle.
love all of these but the camel color. I have a pile of pallets my step daughter gave me, and I can't wear any kind of eye make up anymore, so this might be a fun rainy day project! totally would watch a part two... I was hoping you would do that beautiful shimmery teal **sadface**
At first, I thought "no, I'm too lazy for this", but in the first few seconds I (maybe) changed my mind. My four year old was all about science experiments a few days ago and she loves nail polish...maybe, MAYBE it could be something we could do if I got my husband to take my son out for the day. This was pretty cool
I bet if you mixed the thinner with a little bit of TC and the pigment first, it would help break up all the lumps! Then adding the rest of the TC and shaking. Part 2 with different kinds of eyeshadow please!! Or really anything... I love the mixing videos!
My favorite one is #6. That color is gorgeous. I love the green and the purples, but that pink/gold color is so beautiful. I would love to try this!!!!
Yeah, I do this all the time! I was going to make a business out of it, but it’s too expensive for supplies (suspension base and eyeshadow palettes especially). Still, it’s a fun hobby, and it’s interesting watching someone else do it. I fill the bottle about three quarters full with suspension base and use a quarter of teaspoon of eyeshadow ... a ratio that works for every type of eyeshadow. Oh, and for my funnels I cut them, so the hole is a bit wider and the powder goes right into the bottle really easily. Anyway. Sorry for the essay. I just had one of those “someone else does this!” moments.
How fun! Tried this with a blush palate I bought a while ago that didn’t suit me. I put the thinner in first and it dissolved all the powder and eliminated the clumpiness. It made an interesting chromy peach color.
I like videos where you try and mix your own nail polish. I love doing it too, I use pigments and a nail polish base sold on aroma-zone (it's french). I don't know if there is something similar in the US.
I'm totally doing this and I'm using my Jeffree Star palette! Been thinking about how to do this for a while now so your vid was perfect timing. My favs are definitely the green and the shimmery pink. Would love to see a part 2, and with some black flecks 🖤
Hi kelli, I'm so glad you made the same mistakes I made. Lol I ended up putting a tiny piece of tape underneath the bottle as the funnel makes it top heavy. And I used a very good clear polish as a base. Your polishes are beautiful. The green is really nice. Thank you for another great video. Stay safe and have a wonderful day. 💅
@@KelliMarissa I'm just really old lol I made a terrible mess and I had such a hard time cleaning up. That's when I tried to figure out how to do it and not mess up my space. Your polishes turned out beautifully.
This is very satisfying to watch! It might be easier to use a piece of paper folded in half as the ‘funnel’. The pigment might not stick as much to it as it doesn’t tend to have a static effect on fine particles, like plastic does.
Ugh I LOVE that green!! I've been obsessed with Essie's Sweater Weather since it came out, but it was a limited edition... Now I'll try making my own when I run out!
How fun!! I needed this video today! I was in a doctor's appointment waiting room, talking out loud when they spilled. I LOVE THE GREEN! 🥰💓, You are fabulous 💗!
I’m in love with that green! I’m in love with anything green. Haha! What’s cool is I have that green as a single from Ipsy! I might just have to do this…
This was a fun video, I love diy stuff like this. When I use my loose pigments as 'nail polish' I typically apply a top coat, rub them in, and hit them with another top coat. It doesn't last to long without chipping, but it is a fun way to use multichrome pigments that I brought on a whim, but can't really wear as eyeshadow. If you enjoy makeup destruction, as I do at times, you should check out the 'makeup breakup' on beautynews channel.
These turned out great!! two tips I can think of: 1) turn the eyeshadow palette upside-down and see if you can smash the back of it to get the eyeshadow to pop out. that would make it easier to work with; 2) maybe pressing the eyeshadow through a sieve would help with the lumpiness? not sure, but worth a shot maybe!
Hint from a former chemist: cut most of the stem of of your funnel. Put the eye shadow into a piece of paper, fold the paper to turn it into a "scoop", and pour it into the funnel from the paper-scoop in small portions. Flick the funnel a bit and it should go in easier.

Why do you use a top coat and not a clear polish?
i would love to see you make actual nail polish!! i think TKB trading has the supplies for it
Maybe I should do that next!
I would like to see this as well.
Sadly they don’t ship to Oz ….
I’d love to see another one where you test eye shadow quality to see if you get better or worse results! I love videos that are just fun while also informative!
I’ve never done this but I don’t wear makeup so never had the supplies lol.
Maybe it's good to try with some of those cheap eyeshadow kits they sell at drugstores haha!
That rose gold! ::Chef's Kiss:: Wow, I never thought of trying to make my own nail polish--thanks for the idea, maybe I'll give it a try!
I’d totaaaaally buy a dupe for “Experiment #6” if you collabed with a company to make it 🤩
Essies “One Way for One” is an almost perfect dupe for this one!
I think is a nice idea for an occasion in which you want to really match your makeup with your manicure. I'll do a really small amount and use it just for that day... I love it!
Ooh I love that idea! I should have used this palette for my makeup too haha

Thank you ❤️
If you try it again, try a clear polish rather than a top coat. Like from wet n wild or revlon. You may not need as much thinner.
These are so pretty! This is how I started when I got into nail polish because I was a broke little 9 year old who took her moms makeup and dollar store top coats to make more colors! This takes me back❤️ thanks for the thinner tip!
I have tried it. I used a very sheer white shimmery polish from Taylor Morgan and a Mac matte dark purple pigment. I wasn't using neither of them so...It turns out I have a beautiful shimmery mid tone purple polish to use now.😉

Yes the swatch idea is great!
5:00 Kelli has seen the light of Safiya Nygaard
Yes please another DIY video,your so good at them.
Will do!! Thank you!!
They're fun to do but the powder settles after a while and the separation looks weird lol. Those steel balls definitely help to re-mix.
Oh man haha do you find that remixing them makes them work again? Or is it eventually just gunk?
Or maybe... like Honey Nectar from Kokie Cosmetics - nice colour, not so nice formula
I tried doing this with some pigment last fall and it eventually turned into pure gunk
I'm weak for mixing videos!!! xD
would love to see more mixing polishes or eyeshadow polish etc.
I can def do more haha!!
My girls 8 and 6 are thrilled about trying this with my too-glittery Colourpop shades!
Omg I didn't even think to use my colourpop glitters! But I totally should, I'm not a fan of using glitter on my eyes!
The not eye safe glitters they have been putting in their pallets would make awesome nail polish I bet!!
Have you heard of the “makeup breakup” series by Beauty News? I think you’d be a fan :)
I love the mad scientist approach to nail art experimentation!
Just a tip if you ever do this again, when you scrap the eyeshadow out of the pallet dump it out onto a piece of paper, then the paper over ontop so the shadow is sandwiched and you can crush it to be smaller particles, then the paper is already creased so you can easily just tilt the paper into the bottle. No mess ♥
that duochrome rose gold is actually my favorite eyeshadow lmao, i have that palette as well as a single pan of just that color
watching you break it killed me a little bit inside
but it looked so good as a nail polish, wow
That looks like fun! I want to try it now, I have a sally hansen 2 in 1 base/top coat that I don't really like to use, it might be perfect for this.
Love the colors of #2 and 6. How fun this would be. I do have a suggestion though. You can find 15 ml medicine cups to use for mixing in - measure a few mls of polish (less than what your bottle holds), then add your powder and mix with whatever small implement you have handy like an orangewood stick, pour in the bottle and top off with more polish to fill and shake.

The green is my favourite! So much fun!
It really turned out so gorgeous!
@@KelliMarissa green is my favourite colour always! Maybe I'll just make all green eyeshadow nail polish!
Yes part 2 do your thing Baby. Those colors turned out good. I know the next ones will.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
@@KelliMarissa ummhum so what's going on with you tonight? Working your shift? How many customers you think you'll have?
This video was exactly what I needed tonight, you had me laughing & smiling & just feeling good. Love your videos. 🥰
I would have crushed the powder between paper sheet and a spoon before using paper to pour in the funnel, but other than that... you made me want to go find my unused eye shadow and buy stuff on amazon to start doing this extra polishes I absolutely don't need but absolutely want 🤣
This is so fun and cool. I could watch this 1000 times, just repurposing old, expired, and unused palettes into polishes
Over the last few months I’ve come to LOVE your channel and content. Now, I watch every video, I get excited for the days you upload. You’re so positive and fun to watch, your swatches are so comprehensive and well done, and I’m so glad I found your content!

@@KelliMarissa I’m so happy to hear it. Keep up the wonderful work! ❤️
Yes! Part 2 please!
Have a magnificent day. 😊
Might sound a little more messy, but hear me out. When you pick out the eyeshadow crumbles into a bowl, mush them up with gloves hands or one of those grinding tools(for the life of me I can't remember what you call it) so make it more of a powder and get rid of the chunks :) then put it through the funnel
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I just threw out some eyeshadows yest, and now I can make them into pretty nail polishes. Thanks so much!
Ooh yes try it! It's so much fun too.
First two colors are totally me! My favs. #6 is so beautiful. This is a great fun idea for expired or not so good eyeshadows.
Random -- I literally just watched The Desert episode of ATLA before turning on this video. I'm loving the shirt, Kelli.
HAHA! It's the quenchiest!!!
A live video part 2 would be super fun 🤩 xx
Love nail polish, science, and needle felting! Great video.
I'd love a part 2! That was so much fun, I tried it right after and now have a very pretty light green polish with gold shimmer 😊
I love this idea! I've got such a big makeup collection, I have to try this 😊✨
You should! It's so much fun lol
What a fun experiment! I never would have thought to try this. Maybe pushing the eye shadow through a strainer or crush it with a spoon or in a plastic bag as others have mentioned would help make the powder a little more fine. But that rose gold was amazing! And I loved the last one too with that little glimmer of the blue in there. Great job!
Success! Very creative experiment! Your smokey eyeshadow (on your eyes) is my favorite EVER!

I really enjoyed this.
I'm gonna try this.
Need another one of these! You should try with just a clear polish, not a topcoat.
I wonder if you got individual pans and scraped them out and then tried to crush them up more if they would go into the bottle easier. I definitely want to see more!!!
I am working on organizing my makeup as I watch this & really tempted to try this out!
I actually have been doing this for years. When I get tired of something I make franken polishes and mix in any eyeshadows, pigments and tiny glitters I can find until I get giggles out of it lol 😂❤
So cool! Experiments 1 and 6 are my favorites! Thanks for sharing - I'm going to try this!
Ooh let me know how it goes!!

Kelli I so in love with ur eye shadow look because that is my favorite color and beautiful
You have the most fun job in the world! 🤩
So excited about this video! Ipsy gave me the same palette, and this looks like a perfect use for it!!
It really does make some great nail polish colors haha!

Imagine doing this but saving some of the eyeshadow and having matching makeup and nails!
You created a great collection!
Thanks Sarah!
Fun watch, would love to see a part 2, will definitely be trying this with my old pallettes!
I have so many old eyeshadows that I never wear, I can't wait to try this! My daughter loves the makeup slime videos too but I'm much more of a nail polish person. To actually get use of some of these things could be so fun!

Ooh I love your eye makeup today! I feel like a behind the scenes into your makeup/shirt/choker choice every video would be fun!
Wow 3 and 7 are colors I would wear. Awesome girl 😘
Yes to part two! This was so much fun to watch.
Would love to see more 🎥 like this one like multi-color glow-in-the-dark and 2- tones.

It was SO much fun to do. You absolutely gotta give it a try haha
I’d love a second episode! This was so fun!
Yeah, I do this all the time! I was going to make a business out of it, but it’s too expensive for supplies (suspension base and eyeshadow palettes especially). Still, it’s a fun hobby, and it’s interesting watching someone else do it. I fill the bottle about three quarters full with suspension base and use a quarter of teaspoon of eyeshadow ... a ratio that works for every type of eyeshadow. Oh, and for my funnels I cut them, so the hole is a bit wider and the powder goes right into the bottle really easily. Anyway. Sorry for the essay. I just had one of those “someone else does this!” moments.

Cool tutorial. Would love to know how the polishes did several days later. Better or worse?
Hi kelli, I'm so glad you made the same mistakes I made. Lol I ended up putting a tiny piece of tape underneath the bottle as the funnel makes it top heavy. And I used a very good clear polish as a base. Your polishes are beautiful. The green is really nice. Thank you for another great video. Stay safe and have a wonderful day. 💅
Haha now that's a smart solution! I wish I'd thought of it 😂 I made such a mess!
@@KelliMarissa I'm just really old lol I made a terrible mess and I had such a hard time cleaning up. That's when I tried to figure out how to do it and not mess up my space. Your polishes turned out beautifully.
This is my fave hair color combo you’ve done 🤩 you look amazin
Yes a part 2 plz so satisfying
Wow! I'm impressed! Love that green!
This is very satisfying to watch! It might be easier to use a piece of paper folded in half as the ‘funnel’. The pigment might not stick as much to it as it doesn’t tend to have a static effect on fine particles, like plastic does.
So creative I like this!
Enjoy!!
Ugh I LOVE that green!! I've been obsessed with Essie's Sweater Weather since it came out, but it was a limited edition... Now I'll try making my own when I run out!
How fun!! I needed this video today! I was in a doctor's appointment waiting room, talking out loud when they spilled. I LOVE THE GREEN! 🥰💓, You are fabulous 💗!
You could shake the powder up more when it goes in the bottle, with just the metal balls
You should watch the Makeup Breakup videos! They're so fun to watch!
I’m in love with that green! I’m in love with anything green. Haha! What’s cool is I have that green as a single from Ipsy! I might just have to do this…
Omg yes! Please do more of these!
Absolutely loved this experiment 🤩🤩🤩
I've done this before, but made sure to completely powderize the eyeshadow first, and it worked pretty well.
So cool. I must try this with an old eye shadow palette
This was a fun video, I love diy stuff like this. When I use my loose pigments as 'nail polish' I typically apply a top coat, rub them in, and hit them with another top coat. It doesn't last to long without chipping, but it is a fun way to use multichrome pigments that I brought on a whim, but can't really wear as eyeshadow. If you enjoy makeup destruction, as I do at times, you should check out the 'makeup breakup' on beautynews channel.
Loved the pink one! I have so many loose eye shadows from Ipsy, definitely want to try this out.
These turned out great!! two tips I can think of: 1) turn the eyeshadow palette upside-down and see if you can smash the back of it to get the eyeshadow to pop out. that would make it easier to work with; 2) maybe pressing the eyeshadow through a sieve would help with the lumpiness? not sure, but worth a shot maybe!
