Using more powder will make your nail polish stick in clumps. The best way to judge whether you are using the right amount of powder is to observe the consistency of the nail polish. It should be thicker than usual, but at the same time you should also be able to apply it easily on your nails. We are sure you will need some practice before achieving the perfect matte consistency.

Take a nail polish bottle which is only half full. Make sure your eye shadow is fine and there are no clumps in the powder. Make a small funnel to put in your eye shadow into the bottle. Be mindful of the fact that when you are making the funnel, it should have a pointy end through which you will be able to fill in the powder into the nail polish bottle.

Before you mix in the powder, make sure you add some ball bearings into the bottle. The ball bearings make it easier for the powder to get mixed. Use stainless steels balls for mixing the powder and the nail polish better. Shake well before use and your matte nail polish is ready!
