How To- Make Nail Polish Gems

I have a young daughter, already into crafting. The detailed explanations in tutorial videos really help her have the confidence to try a new project. Thank you! And for people criticizing the detail of explanation, please don't just think of your own level of crafting ability. There are children and also people with developmental disabilities and learning disabilities that like to craft as well and need the extra information.

This was a great idea. I used mine for stepping Stones in my fairy gardens.

These make great "treasures" for when my kids play pirates or princess or whatever they need treasures for. We did a bunch as an easy craft and now they don't ask for my jewelry when they play! They make great play jewelry too if you add a bit of wire or glue them to a plastic headband. Also super cute as magnets for the refrigerator. A simple idea, but lots of good uses and the kids loved making them.

You all need to gtfo if you're gonna be rude. She never made the video to blow your mind or try and make you think this was the greatest thing since the light bulb was invented. She just wanted to give people some ideas for gifts or decorations. No matter how easy or cheap it is, it's still a cute idea and it makes a nice gift or something to put on a shelf. Nobody said it was rocket science. You all need to stop being so rude. If you were so uninterested in the idea you wouldn't have clicked the video in the first place.

I did clear glitter polish and used a makeup sponge and dabbed on some green pink and blue. Let that dry then did black nail polish and had a cool galaxy looking gem. I used the smaller ones and it worked well. They look really cool

Just stick them in a bottle cap and there you go a charm! I did this with the small ones

To all you haters, she took her time and money to make this video for us. Maybe she was giving it to someone as a gift? So stop hating, and start appreciating. 

I truly enjoyed your presentation of that super idea. Several possible ideas for using them come to mind = (1) attach a small magnet on the back & use for notes, lists, photos, etc. on your refrigerator; (2) glue around a simple photo frame to jazz it up; (3) glue around top edge or over the whole surface of flower pot to add bling. Thank you for sharing & demonstrating this craft idea. God bless!

Reading through the comments, All I can say is, I thought this was neat and if you can't say something nice, keep it to yourself. It's just as easy to think," I didn't like that, I'll go check out someone else's channel." No nasty comments needed.

Now glue a magnet on top of the nail polish after it dries and enjoy pretty fridge magnet if they aren't too heavy

HELLO CALA, I WANT TO FIRST THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME SOMETHING COOL TO DO WITH MY GRAND SONS AND GRAND DAUGHTERS, THE COMMENTS ON YOUR PAGE ARE CRAZY BUT OUT OF 2 MILLION VIEWS ,,YOU WILL FIND A FEW NUTS IN THE BASKET,,,,LOLOL , WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH WAS CALLED COMING INTO ADULTHOOD, FULLY ,, AND I AM SURE YOU WILL BE FINE , YOUR AN AWESOME YOUNG LADY,,,THEIR LOSS

People are so mean!!! I appreciated the video...yeah it may be common sense. But common sense isn't so common anymore. Just like people's manners...keep doing you girl:)

I use the little ones and hot glue them to my Polish bottles for swatches or so I can see the true color of the Polish

Actually, I think the smaller ones would make cool jewelry, maybe even studded earrings. And the bigger ones as magnets or paper weights. But in THAT case, I'd probably put the top coat or maybe even spray lacquer over the colored nail polish to seal it in. Great reason to buy the Wet & Wild (or other very cheap) nail polish and have more color options.

Don't listen to the inappropriate comments ..this is a great video ..kudos

I don't care what the other people are saying , this is a good idea to save you from buying different coloured gems for crafting . I decorate trinket boxes & use glass gems alot . I have loads of nail polish that i don't use so will be doing this to save money .

Damn it. And here I am, coming here thinking you were gonna pour out a whole container of nail polish and make a huge glob

This is definitely my Christmas gift to my large extended family next year.  I found 18" silver coated necklaces for $1 each on ebay, so I'll wire wrap these gems and give them to people as gifts.  It's hard to find homemade inexpensive things that are also nice :)

A lot of people say this is not creative. While it may be true that is not really creative, it is still an amazing idea for someone who doesn't have much money and wants to do something like this to make homemade jewelry. If you people wanted something creative then there are multiple way to make this creative in your own way.

these are cute...the smaller ones can be used in other crafts like phone cases and these would make a good display for a nail artist to show off their polish selection. my kids would carry these gems to the end of the earth because they just love crafting. Thanks for sharing!
