What a great way to use an eyeshadow you don’t really like on your eyes!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Yeah! Totally 😊 you can really transform the shadow with whatever colour you put underneath so you may find a new love for a shadow you otherwise didn’t enjoy 🤗

[@bmckong]

It’s be really easy to do ombré with this.

[@amethystoak9984]

Brandi M I was thinking that too!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Omg it would be!! Such a cool idea!!

[@mickeysbooktubeexperiment3029]

Ditto. I immediately thought that and I'm really excited to try it now.

[@SzannySide]

Ooo just imagine a white base and a purple to pink ombré 😍

[@jessxzaff]

As you were applying the shadow, it actually looked incredible as an ombre fading into the solid colour. Can't wait to try this!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Uhhh yes!!! 😍 I hope you love it!!!

[@lyahandarissa]

Wow! A use for those shades I will never wear on my eyes!!! Thank you!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Truly! It's a great way to play with colours you already own and want to use more! 💕

[@savannap8368]

I heard someone mention using eyeshadow as nail polish today and it intrigued me so I found this video. Thanks for the clear/easy instructions! I'm super excited to try this with shadows I have that I'll never wear on my eyes

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I’m so glad you found this!! I hope it can work for you & give you a chance to use those shadows ☺️

[@LibbyFootMakeup]

This is such a great idea! I'd never thought of doing it this way! Being in lockdown I only have a few of my nail polishes with me so this will be perfect as a way of getting a bit more variety!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Totally! It gives you so much more variety! I hope you love it when you try it 😃

[@AlejandraLisette]

Thank you for sharing this!! I am going to try this when the kids go to bed lol

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Yay, good luck! Let me know what you think 🥰

[@MsHasenfreund]

Thank you for that video! I do it only one time and now i hit pan on a shade i worked 3 month in my pan those eyeshadow. I feel so happy that i can roll a new shade in 😅

[@suzubee9602]

Does your top coat brush pick of a lot eyeshadow? And if it does do you find it messes the topcoat when you're trying to do something with your nails unrelated to that eyeshadow

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I haven’t noticed that happening and I’ve done this technique 4 or 5 times! I use the same top coat each time too ☺️

[@409cope]

Great idea! I’m a fellow lefty. It’s definitely a right handed world.

[@Erinknitsalot]

This is what I needed right now! I can’t buy new nail polish right now but it’s going to feel like I have new colors the next time I do my nails 😊

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Truly, this gives you infinite polish colour options! I hope you love the look, let me know how it goes! 🤗

[@Erinknitsalot]

I definitely will be! I have a shimmery gold to put over a pinky/purple with a warmer undertone combination in mind

[@RebeccaMorgan]

@@Erinknitsalot Ohhh that could be really fun! 💕✨

[@micapabia8167]

So excited to try this! 😍 been wondering how you do this ever since you mentioned it in your pan those eyeshadows

[@avantikamisra]

Super easy... I'm going to try this soon. When you had mentioned that you used one of your project pan eyeshadows as nail polish, I was expecting it to be some complex mixing technique you've come up with! 🤷 Goes to show how creativity can bring about beautiful results!👌👌😍

[@RebeccaMorgan]

It's SO easy! I can't wait for you to try it out for yourself ☺️

[@rovingrey425]

Oh my gosh! I am soo excited by this! Never seen this before and want to try this tonight! Thanks for sharing.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Yay I hope you love it! 😍

[@ChicGeekMakeup]

What a fun idea!! I may have to try this!

[@lyralebo]

I just try it today and it looks so nice :D it's shines more like my metallic nail polish

[@Ioanna_g_k]

Thank you so much for sharing this, I new you could add eyeshadow or pigment to clear polish to make it colorful but this technique is so much better!

[@laurapirate]

Can't wait to try this!

[@AB_BEE]

This was so cool! I will definitely have to give it a go! Thank you for sharing! ☺️

I will try this for sure. Maybe with shadows I never used and I know I'm not going to, or with glitters, I'm not into glitters on the palettes.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I've never tried it with a glitter shadow, but when you do, please let me know how it goes!

[@gigi2k326]

This is so cool. Definitely will be trying this

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I really hope you do! Please let me know how it goes if/when you do!

[@lipsticklover]

Nice look! Does the eyeshadow tint the top coat? How do you make sure it doesn't transfer into the top coat between each nail?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I haven’t found it to pick up enough shadow to tint my top coat! I have done this technique 4 or 5 times & I’ve been using the same top coat each time and haven’t noticed it 😊

[@roseofsharon66]

This is just like in the ‘70s when people were using a product called Indian Earth. It was a powder that you could use on your nails, as eye shadow, blush, bronzer, lips, where ever! It came in a little terra cotta jar with a powder puff. I think they still make it. It was a beautiful nail polish.

[@mariangela77]

Perfect tip! Thank you for sharing!

[@MakeupwithMariela1]

This is so cool! You should use the shadows in your pan those shadows if you haven’t done so already!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Ya I did so this to pan an eyeshadow last month! It was so fun!

[@Искра-у9ь]

Thank you for sharing this great technic! Never heared about it before. Sorry for mistakes if I did any, English language is not my native

[@RebeccaMorgan]

No problem, I hope you give it a try 💕

[@lullamaqueen9866]

I have so many eyeshadow pallets that I don't use, and I started to do my nails and I want more colors. You just fixed 2 of my problems. Thank you

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Awe I hope you really enjoy it! 🥰

[@KaliFab]

Yes thank you for that! I already have a combo in mind that I’m going to do after work!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Ohhh I’m looking forward to seeing your nails! 👀💅

[@KaliFab]

@@RebeccaMorgan I did it but I attempted an ombré look... not the best. lol going to try again tonight! We shall see! I’ll tag you on IG

[@finalhope8346]

I’m so excited to try this! Thank you for this video!!

[@deepbluesea925]

I'm going to try this way next! I tried with the tacky/still wet nails and I did not like it. This looks easier and less messy too!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

It’s super easy and the mess is minimal, so I hope you like it! I could never get a smooth application with tacky polish, but with this I can really build up the colour! Let me know how it goes when you try it 🥰

[@SteamCyberGothPunk]

I tried this out and I really love how it turned out! 🥰soooo pretty! 🤩 it's really going to help me make good use of my eyeshadows.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Aweee that’s amazing!! What colour combo did you do?!

[@SteamCyberGothPunk]

@@RebeccaMorgan I used a dark plumy purple nail varnish and a dark purple shimmer that had a black base. :D Today I used a white nail varnish with a pink shimmer that had a gold shift and that turned out so pretty as well! :D

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Steamcyber Gothpunk ohh I love the sounds of both of these!!

[@paulapoulson576]

Thank you I’ve tried this and they look nice and gives me a way to use eyeshadow colours I’m not keen on

[@beccahope]

So glad you did this video! Can’t wait to try this ❤️

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Yay!! I hope you love it!! What colours are you thinking of trying 😊

[@beccahope]

Rebecca Morgan First color that comes to mind is a really pretty satin pink in my current pan those eyeshadows project pan (I don’t like satin finish on my eyes) and I think it would look lovely as a nail polish! So excited to try this and get more use out of that shade! 😁

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I think a satin shadow would work really well! Love the idea! Hope you love it when you try it out!

[@BeautyLit]

I’m going to try this with gel polish

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Ohhh cool! Let us know how it works out! 🤗

[@rebeccasatchell1547]

This is such a cool idea, is it easy enough to remove with nail polish remover too?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

It’s easy, just comes off basically the same as regular polish 😊

[@mikadancebeat94]

Thank you soo much for this video♥️

[@tinafuller6589]

This was awesome! Thanks!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Glad you enjoyed! 🥰

[@lailatorabi8769]

I really like the idea I’m going to try it soon

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I hope you enjoy it!!

[@mariegagnon9815]

Thank you si much for this video!! Do you think that with time the top coat bottle will get eyeshadow in it? Like should I use a top coat only for this technique?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I haven't had any issues with that at all & this was the 4th or 5th time I've used this technique! It doesn't seem like the top coat picks up any shadow from what I've experienced!

[@mariegagnon9815]

Rebecca Morgan thanks I’ll try it today!!

[@Toasty_Mr.Marsh_]

If your concerned about it you can always buy a bunch of disposable brushes to use when you do this technique

[@oriettamaltoni7000]

Great idea!!!!! Thanks 💖

[@kaileewesley9510]

Super fun and interesting!!

[@MathIsMagical]

Thank you!!! I can’t wait to try this!!!!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Yay!! 🤗

[@lightoftheworld789]

Ooh I can’t wait to try this!!!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Yay! If you do let me know how it goes! 🤗

[@dyscea]

Really wish you did wipe it. Ah well. I could try it myself. Thanks for the vid!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I was wearing the polish in the intro and in the thumbnail but I get your point haha... oh how I wish I could go back LOL

[@laurianing2215]

i will try that !! thank you

[@shimabarakat7980]

How long does it last? Does the power form a sort of barrier stopping the clear polish from sticking well or does it behave as if the shadow isn’t there. Really intriguing proposition! Thank you!

[@RebeccaMorgan]

It doesn’t last as long as just regular polish for me, but I typically do get a few days wear!

[@shlomitbechar7927]

This is amazing!!!!!

[@GinaStanley]

I will be trying this. Tfs

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Yay!! I hope you love it!!

[@trotterlh]

Omg! Have you tried to do an ombre?!?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

No I haven't but I'm totally gonna soon that's SUCH A GOOD IDEA!! 🤗

[@moonwise26]

great video! can you use any nail polish as a base?🤔 or does it have to be gel?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Any polish!!

[@tbeauty3280]

That's awesome

[@laurenkay2013]

What’s your favorite top coat? I’ve been struggling to find one I like

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I still haven’t found an absolute favourite, but I’m currently using the Pacifica one which I think is good 😊 my only complaint would be I wish it would be a bit more quick drying, but it’s long lasting and glossy!

[@sharicool9870]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I’m so glad you like it!! Let me know what you think when you try it out!!

[@sharicool9870]

@@RebeccaMorgan it's pretty cool- most work some don't but it's so fun putting different nail colors I don't care for I've had for years & put some shadow on top & bam!!! new color lol awesome

[@erynnm3045]

Genius!

[@hassanmotlekar7002]

Hi rebecca I like your nails

[@maddiepelletier3876]

do you need to do this over nail polish, or can you do it on bare nails?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Great question - I’ve never tried it on bare nails! I suppose you could, it just may not look as opaque. I think having a base colour helps to transform the shadow.

[@chandler754]

does this make the top coat change color?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I haven't found that the shadow picks up in my top coat the 4 or 5 times I've tried it out 😊but I guess it would depend on how much shadow you put on the nails

[@chandler754]

Rebecca Morgan okay thank you!

[@user-of9hm6sr4f]

Is this okay to use on fake nails?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Ive never tried personally, so I’m not sure! If you give it a try, please let me know how it goes ☺️

[@user-of9hm6sr4f]

It went pretty good, but I suggest for best results you do more layers..😁

[@justmary6006]

Can you do this technique on top of polygel nails?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I'm really not too sure, that's not something I'm familiar with. I suppose as long as you have a dry nail surface to work on it can work, I know some people have used this on bare nails as well, but I'm really not sure about how the process of polygel works.

[@justmary6006]

@@RebeccaMorgan okay Thank you so much 😊

[@r.e.2892]

Does the powder not mix with the top coat/ end up changing it color?

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Never had an issue with that myself, but I really work the shadow into the brush and onto the nail, so it's not dusty in any way!

[@r.e.2892]

@@RebeccaMorgan thanks for the quick reply! I watch a lot of beauty youtube but I'm new to ur channel and I feel like u have shown a lot of fun ways to use makeup differently than what's expected (this video and recently the colorpop yellow mascara as a cream base).

Random question: what are you studying? Remember you mentioned school before.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Web design & web development 😊

[@le4470]

I wish everyone would do this before throwing out that old eyeshadow. Instead of wasting it & polluting the landfill.....put it to use.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

I think it's such a fun trick to keep getting use out of products, even if they are no longer usable on the face!

[@le4470]

@@RebeccaMorgan I also saw a video where old eyeshadows can be used to paint cards & do other crafts with. It's better than being thrown away.

[@RebeccaMorgan]

Yes I’ve seen people use shadows for art, I think that’s so cool!!
