Classic Mercury Nail Polish Recipe

Makes 1 x 15ml Bottle 

The classic mercury nail polish offers a beautiful metallic silver colour, reminiscent of liquid mercury. This polish is created with just two of our mica colourants and our luster nail polish base. The lustre nail polish base suspends the mica throughout the bottle without any separation or settling. This base is vegan, cruelty-free and 10-free. 

Recommended Equipment: 

• Scale 
• Plastic Mixing Cups 
• Stir sticks or toothpicks. 
• 0.15cc plastic scoops 
• Stainless Steel Mixing Balls  

Ingredients: 

• 15g Lustre Nail Polish Base 
• 2 x 0.15cc scoops of Silver Starlight Mica 
• 1 x 0.15cc scoop of Metallic Silver Mica 

Note: Nail polish will stain clothes, surfaces, and skin. Ensure your workspace and clothes are protected to prevent unwanted stains.  

To make the polish:

1. Weigh out your nail polish base into a plastic mixing cup.  

1. Add the mica to the base and stir gently to thoroughly combine.  

1. Carefully pour into a 15ml glass nail polish bottle, tighten the lid, and shake for a few seconds.  

1. Add a few Stainless Steel Mixing Balls into your bottle to better mix your DIY custom nail polishes. 

And that is it! Your nail polish is ready to use right away. For full, even, coverage apply 2 – 3 thin layers to the nail and finish with our clear coat nail polish base for a vegan, cruelty-free, 10-free topcoat.
