DIY your own matte nail polish

Whenever I walk into a beauty store like Ulta or Sephora, I have to force myself to NOT walk toward the nail polish section. Over the past few years, I have accumulated way too many nail polishes and, to this day, have never successfully used up an entire bottle since I have to many colors to choose from.

However, when my friend showed me her newly purchased mattifying top coat, I instantly wanted to go out and buy my own. I knew I wouldn’t use it that often though, so instead of buying an entire bottle, I decided to make my own matte nail polish using just one magic ingredient – cornstarch!

Read on to learn how you can make your own matte nail polish:

What you’ll need:

Quickly paint the nail polish/cornstarch mixture onto your nails before it dries. Simply apply it the same way you would regular nail polish and let dry. Remember not to use a top coat or you’ll lose the matte effect.
