DIY Thumb Palette for Nail Art

 

1 min to read


One morning after a late-night art session, nail school grad, Lisa Bennett, discovered a nail hack that is both creative and green. “After one of these all-nighters, I woke up and went straight to the coffee pot. I cannot have coffee without cream, so I went to the fridge to get my new bottle of creamer. Half asleep, I popped the ring top out and slid it on my finger,” says Bennett. “I now save them and keep them handy for art time. The plastic is sturdy, it’s comfortable, it fits on my finger, and it can be cleaned and reused. It’s not as pretty as the silver thumb palettes you can buy, but it works in a pinch.”

Check out Bennett’s Instagram, @lisa.b.ivystar, to see how she’s using the DIY palette.
