This is a super activity for teens and a great introduction to the art of frugality! 

You'll need...

• Bottle of half-used nail polish (clear works well, or any other colour you're tired of)
  
• Eyeshadow (old colours you never wear)
• Sheet of paper
• Toothpick

Here's how...

Tear a letter-size sheet of paper in half. Fold it in half again, width-wise to create a light crease in the middle of the sheet. Use the toothpick to scrape eyeshadow out of the palette and onto small sheet near the crease. Use the tip of the toothpick to break apart the eyeshadow - you want it to be a nice, loose powder consistency. When ready, pick up the paper and shake your shadow into the crease area. Then use the toothpick to push the eyeshadow powder into your bottle of nailpolish. Shake and paint!

The great thing about this is you can change the colour of your nail polish at your whimsy!

Some of the best shades require a few different doses of colour shadow.  If your polish starts to thicken up, just add a touch of nail polish remover to the bottle and shake.  This should get it back to a thinner consistency.  

Store-bought nail polish = $3 to $12
