- So, you want to start your own Nail Polish Line? That’s awesome, but now what, where do you start, what do you need? It’s hard to get that information from most makers. But, like I mentioned in my last post, I like helping people and seeing them succeed. And I’m not afraid of a little competition, it keeps you on your toes. In this blog and video I’m going to go over the basic materials and supplies needed to start developing your new nail polish line and talk about lessons learned.
Before we start there are a couple of things I want you to remember.
* The only way to learn this business is by trial and error. You will make mistakes, you will waste materials, you will make some ugly polishes, etc. Basically, you need to make these mistakes in order to be a good or even a great Maker.
* Start SMALL! Make one or two bottles at a time in the beginning. If not, you’ll be wasting a lot of materials just learning.
* Be sure to write down every ingredient and the amount you used on every polish in a Journal, you can multiply that amount later to produce larger quantities. Believe me, there’s nothing worse that coming up with a color that’s to die for, but you don’t know how to recreate it. Ahhhhhhh! It’s going to take you a little while to get your formulas right, every Maker has their own way of doing things. You’ll know when you’ve got it just right, if you don’t, please stop. If you just can’t get it, then do yourself a favor and go buy some polish! I mean that in the nicest possible way. Lol.
* Please find a well ventilated area to make your polish. You don’t want to breath this for hours. Even though its 10 FREE, it still goes to your head. I added the vent hood, but not everyone has a retail building to work in. Let’s all be safe please.
Supplies needed: All noted items can be found at www.TkbTrading.com
1. Luster base for non glitter polish - Tkb
2. Suspension base for polishes containing glitters - Tkb
Glitter will settle to the bottom of the bottle in a luster base
3. Mica pigments - multiple colors and types - Tkb
4. Glitters - I would wait to tackle the glitter polishes. Tkb
5. Glass Beakers (Lab Beakers) - Amazon
I don’t recommend mixing directly in the polish bottles, its messy, doesn’t mix really well and not to mention, its harder to do. Don’t use hard clear plastic cups or bowls to mix in, the polish base will actually melt them and your polish will be ruined.
6. Small funnels - Tkb
7. Disposable Measuring spoons - Tkb
8. An empty polish bottles w/ brushes and caps - Tkb
9. Steel balls to help shake up the polish - Tkb
10. Plastic mat for your work area (I use rubber shelf liner) - Misc Store
11. Swatch Wheels for testing - Sally’s
12. Acetone - Misc Store
13. Brush Cleaner - Sally’s
14. Paper Towels - Misc Store
15. A plastic mat to work on - I use rubber shelf liner - Misc Store
16. Apron - You will get it on your clothes, so get a stylist apron - Sally’s
You should be wearing your creations while your learning. You need to know everything about your polish, how it feels, paints and length of wear. You’ll need to be able to answer questions about your polishes and compose accurate detailed descriptions, if you plan to sell online. Next is the fun part, give some to your friends to try. Get their honest opinions on all the above and ask them what they think about you colors. They’re great for pre-market research as well as free advertising.
Well, those are the basics, hopefully you’ve got a good grasp of where to start. If you have any questions, can’t find something or would like to leave a “nice” message, please use the comment section. I’ll respond as quickly as I can.
NOW, GO MAKE SOME POLISH!
Good luck,

***If you want to keep up to date on my work, join the SHINE Polish MOB Group and like our Facebook page: shinenailpolish. I collaborate with the members of the MOB about our new additions, line drops, we also vote on new polish names and I answer questions.
***TKB is the best supplier for beginners, you’ll be able to get most everything you need in one place. They also sell in small quantities, which is perfect for learning. Wait until your more comfortable making polish and that you want to do this for real to search for other suppliers; believe me there are many.
***That should be most everything you need to get started. Some people say you need $1000 to start, that it not true. I think you could get by with $200-$300 for the all of the supplies listed. Remember, you are just learning so don’t go crazy buying things.
Who makes a video titled how to make your nail polish and doesn't actually show you how to make your own nail polish!!! So annoying!!!
Amen
Right!!! I was like well… this is pointless.
Did I hear you say you not going to tell us the ingredients? Then what is the purpose of showing someone how to make their own nail polish?
Robin Look up on RUclips a Channel called Institute of Personal Care Science. They have videos on how to make nail polish, and if you email them, they will send you the formulas for FREE. That’s probably where this guy got his formula. Follow the formula of the PROFESSIONALS, this guy isn’t a chemist or a professional. He’s just doing this as a hobby.
He's not going to tell you exactly what he used because he has a business and doesn't want someone copying his ingredients, but basic ingredients, the bases, mica and pigments you can find online. He's giving you basic supplies just not his exact color/ ratio
@@tSf1011 THANK YOU FOR THIS
I thought rhe same thing? Anyone can add ingredients and stir them together what i was more interested in was the ingredients.
@@tSf1011 Thank you!
Just out of curiosity, could you do audio recordings while you are developing and then transcribe that recording afterwards, when you are happy with the result? Like “Okay, today I am working on Polish ABC. To start, I am using 1 scoop of the Gold Holo Glitter and 2 scoops of Lavender Mica. Not quite enough glitter, I’m adding another scoop of the Gold Holo Glitter”
Personally, I’m terrible at remembering to write things down as I go. But I talk to myself constantly and talk thru my thought process.
This is very useful. Thank you so much!
Love the “Barbie” color!
How do u clean your beakers and blender?
My favorite thing to do
Do you need a license to sell the product you make and if so what licenses do you need? (Love the polish very beautiful!!🥰)
I don't understand why this video is titled "How to make your own nail polish materials and supplies" if you're not disclosing the products needed to make it. It should be titled watch me make my own polish.
i've logged in my google account. just to say I 101% totally agree with you 🤣
Exactly 😒💯
Suspension base + pigments = nail polish or something else has to be added?
Suspension base (needed for suspending glitter) has everything in it except color and/or glitter.
can you put the mica in first, than the lacquer. Or does it matter unless your mixing it well?
What and where can I buy the aluminum stuff you added for extra shine
Very helpful and Informational. Thank You!
I’m wanting to make Polishes what is so confusing no one the difference between the bases on Tbk trading website the opal, luster,glamour Nd clear I’m not sure which bases I should buy wats for wat
lateshia lara the purple color one is suspension base
👍🏿 informative
Thanks for the video 🙂
Thank you so much
I sell on mexico so xD i am not gonna be competition 💚💚💚
Holaa, yo también soy de México y quiero empezar a verder esmaltes igual
Then what's the point of the video ? People are watching to learn....SMH
If your polish is too thick do you just add more base to thin it out?
ReshiK Sometimes that works, just be sure and keep track of how much you add and adjust your formula for future batches. But, usually it means your might be overdoing it with your micas and pigments. You might want to try using a mixture of liquid and mica colorants. 😉
were did u get the Luster base for non glitter polish - Tkb
hello i hope you receive this msg, as i'm enjoying your video, and had a question, i see you didn't add any alcohol to your nail polish is there a reason why? do you feel that it isn't needed to help level out the nail polish on the nail?, if there is any info you could help me on my journey with my nail polish business i would appreciate it very much.
I see some people do add alcohol but personally, I feel it makes the nail polish chip off your nails sooner. TKB's bases has everything in them needed except color and/or glitter.
so pretty
How do we make it if we don't know what to use
This should be titled as "HOW I MAKE MY OWN NAIL POLISH" SMH 😠
Are the materials listed for gel polish?
no it's regular polish
Do you have to use both the powder and the liquid?
If you want to make a colored Nail Polish, you'd have to use the base and colorant.
Oh woooww… by any chance, is this Gel Polish which needs UV light to cure?
Is the validity of this handmade enamel 2 years?
Then why do you post if your not going to tell what you used
You can't tell us where you got the brushes? It's a fucking brush haha
Sir mobile no
Hi,
Great instructive video!
Does anyone maybe know a supplier like TKB Trading that delivers in Europe?
Unfortunatly they don't ship to The Netherlands :( and I can't find a supplier for a nail polish base. Been looking online for a couple of days now.
Major thanks to anyone that is able to help me!
Greetings,
Robin
