Here you will learn how to make these lovely coffee mugs! Great as a gift or why not a treat to your self? :)

Item Required:

Nail polish
Container (use a old plastic container sins it will be colored by the nail polish!)
Paper
Grill stick
Mugs!

Step 1: Dip!

Pour some finger warm water into the container. Then drip nail polish into the water. The "fresher" the nail polish is the better it will spread! Go crazy.. Mix different colors or stick to one. Then use your grill stick to spread and swirl the nail polish in the water.

Before the nail polish starts to harden grab your mug and dip the mug into the water. Try to rotate the mug to apply more of the nail polish to the surface of the mug. Try to not get any of the nail polish into the mug (where the drink will be).

If there is a lot of nail polish on the surface left after the mug is in the water, use a grill stick to remove the remains and lift the mug up from the water.

Quick list!:

Pure nail polish
spread with grill stick
Dip your mug
Let it be in the water for a few seconds
Remove any remains of nail polish with grill stick
Remove mug from water
Let it Dry! :)

The mug can not be washed in a washing machine, so you need to hand wash them!

Step 2: Watch This! :)

Hiya! Please help - I tried this but when i go to mix the nail polish with the grill stick it just sticks to that and clumps up on the stick instead of spreading :( What am i doing wrong?

I heard somewhere else that you cannot microwave these mugs because the nail polish is flammable? Has anyone tried microwaving them to prove this wrong ?
