2. Tile Coasters
Use the nail polish to paint a tile coaster. Paint on your design and let it dry completely. You don’t have to put a finish coating on it since nail polish is already a pretty hard lacquer.

I love zoya nailpolish -they probably bought that for you since it is the most popular eco-nailpolish out there…
Yeah, it might be a popular brand but it still smelled awful. I prefer Scotch brand – no smell and it’s totally water based. Zoya had a ton of chemicals still. Not great for a young girl. But the colors are awesome, aren’t they?
the colors are definely awesome – i have two colors -i have mermaid that i wear all the time for pedicures and the brillant pastel rich purple
i like that lockness mystery colot…the misty green and purple are good too…maybe i can get why not to carry their line of nail polish
I like to use nail polish in any craft where I need a durable, fade-resistant paint. I decorated a plaque in my kids bathroom with nail polish. I also used nail polish on a decoration for my front door, which gets a lot of sun. Hasn’t cracked or faded a bit!
I love these ideas! Thanks for sharing.
