How To: DIY Fluid Art Polishes - UK

Originally I saw polishes that create a spotted, bubble, cells, fluid art type effect from OPI's Spotted in around 2012. Since then it has come and gone, in the past five years I have purchased similar from Baroness X. While they are great polishes the colour ways I wanted to use didn't exist and so I DIY'd my own polishes.

I have seen recipes online but the main recommendations were for Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz serum. You can purchase this online in the UK imported from America for around £15-£20. I researched into what created the cells in the polish and it was a silicone, dimethiconol.

I bought Keronics Glossing Serum from Tesco for this which was £2.

I used an empty polish bottle along with Color Club Pucci-licious which I was working with and added a few drops of the serum into it. After mixing the polish and serum together I then painted it onto a silicone mat and then added drops of a standard polish on to the mat.

After smooshing the mat together the cells started to appear and then I could see if I needed to add more serum into the DIY polish. Less is more and you can always add more if needed.

 

I leave it a few hours to dry before painting my nails, removing the dried polish from the mat, cutting the fluid art to fit my nails and sticking the fluid art design to my nails;
