Mix it baby - how to mix up settled nail polish

Back in early December I bought a few more bottles of Mundo de Unas stamping polishes.  They arrived in the new year and I was very happy to try out the gold polish I had bought.  I loved the colour and it stamps beautifully.

The problem is, if you leave it to sit for a few days, it's separates like all hell!  Check out my bottle of Mundo de Unas gold polish.


At out last catch up here in Canberra of my nail polish buddies, Hayley aka Emily de Molly let me in on a little secret.  She had bought a tattoo ink mixer and was going to use it to mix up her bottles of Mundo.  She had read about it online somewhere.  I bought one too and after trying it out I had to share the information here.

All you need to do is get a lollypop stick and attach it to the end of the one of the short black tattoo ink mixers that came with the machine.  This makes the wand part long enough to reach into nail polish bottles.

The ink mixer takes two AA batteries and you just press the back of the handle onto the metal band to start the vibration.  I bought this one of ebay for $3.66AU with free postage.  I took a few weeks to get here from China but it was worth the wait.


Want to see how well this cheap little tool mixes up my Mundo gold polish.  Check this out.


Search for "Tattoo ink mixer" on ebay if this is something you are interested in.

  11. I literally bought a chupa chupa lollypop from the supermarket and let my kids eat it.. I just wipe it with a tissue each time I use it and haven't needed to replace it.
