If you’re in a bind, you can use clear gel nail paint as a base or top coat for other colours, and it’s wonderful for preserving your nails while allowing them to keep their natural appearance. You can easily produce many alternatives to clear polish at home, which might be helpful if you are trying to save some cash on your cosmetics purchases. We have compiled a few different nail polish formulas for you to try so that your nails will stand out from the crowd.
Ways of applying clear gel nail paint get at home?
Here are some ways to apply clear gel nail paint at home:
1. Glue and Water
Fill an empty nail polish bottle ¾ full with clear school glue:
Clear school glue should fill an empty nail polish bottle to about three-quarters of its capacity. You may either go to a shop that sells cosmetics and find nail polish bottles that are already empty, or you can clean out a bottle that you already have at home and use it. Put some clear school glue, if you have some, into the nail paint bottle and give it a good squeeze. Keep a fourth of the bottle devoid of liquid so that there will be space for more water.
If you don’t have clear glue, white school glue can work instead, but as it dries, it might have a milky or hazy appearance.
Fill the bottle up to the very top with water:
To make it simpler to pour water into the bottle, you may do it with the assistance of a pipette or funnel. Add water very gradually up until it reaches the top of the bottleneck. Alternatively, if you fill the bottle to the top, the nail paint may overflow as soon as you insert the brush into the opening.
To ensure that the polish is well mixed, shake the bottle.
Put the cap back on the bottle of polish tightly so that none of the liquid escapes. The bottle should be vigorously shaken to ensure the water and glue are fully mixed. Once you see little bubbles dispersed throughout the whole mixture, you will know that it is ready to be applied!
Always give the nail paint a good shake before using it, just in case the adhesive and water settle to the bottom.
2. While decked up in the polish
Apply a very small coat of nail polish to each fingernail bed:
Use a nail polish brush to apply your homemade polish, then remove any extra polish from the brush by wiping it off on the rim of the bowl or bottle. Simply move the brush’s point over your nail’s surface in a slow and even motion. Apply nail paint to the whole of your nail to prevent it from any potential damage.
It is best to avoid putting your polish in heavy layers since this will cause it to dry more slowly and leave your nails with an uneven and rough appearance.
Make sure that your fingernails are fully dry
Your nails will be dry in about ten minutes, so feel free to kick back and take it easy while you wait. Be very cautious not to touch your nails while the polish is still wet, and avoid doing anything with your hands that can leave a scratch or cause the polish to stay. When your nails no longer feel sticky and dry to the touch, they are ready to be painted.
