During the pandemic, like many others, I spent a significant amount of time indoors. Exploring new hobbies became a necessity for me. I decided to dip my toes into the world of makeup, but it quickly became evident that my attention to beauty and makeup trends was lacking. As a result, several makeup items, including eyeshadows, were hardly touched and eventually expired. Rather than letting them go to waste, I found a brilliant use for them in my nail art experiments.

Have you ever found yourself staring at an expired eyeshadow sitting on your makeup table, unsure of what to do with it? I know the feeling all too well. I've never been a big fan of heavy makeup. In fact, I consider it a win if I remember to apply sunscreen and a touch of lip balm before leaving the house. However, with a little creativity and some beauty hacks, I discovered a fun and exciting way to repurpose those forgotten eyeshadows into stunning nail art.

Here's how it works: I purchased a transparent nail polish and mixed it with the eyeshadow powder. For my initial trial, I used a spoon as a mixing palette to blend the eyeshadow powder into the nail polish. Once I ensured they were well combined, I transferred a portion of the eyeshadow powder into the nail polish bottle. Before each use, I give it a good shake to ensure a consistent mixture.

The results were fantastic! Even with just one shade of eyeshadow, my nails looked adorable. What's more, I still have 11 other shades to play with, allowing me to switch up my nail art throughout the year.
