We hear about recycling plastic and glass bottles, alluminum cans, copper wire, and much more. In a world where everyone is trying to go green, as well as save a few pennies. Most people will say going green costs more. You can go green without changing your entire salon. We are just talking about nail tips here....
Any good nail technician will practice nail art in her spare time. We usually use full well nail tips to practice our art on. One of the ways I have found to reuse the nail tips is to make a piece of art out of it. I buy myself a piece of canvas from Wal-Mart that measures anywhere from 2 feet x 2 feet or 2 feet by 4 feet or 3 feet by 4 feet. I save my nail art in a simple plastic baggie. If I just practice on one nail it goes in there, or if I make a while set of nails for myself the nails that pop off go into that baggie. The bagging is simply a collection over time. Now the recycleing comes in when I turn that baggie of polished nails into an amazing work of art.
Sometimes I will spend 8 whole hours on one nail, and I put so much work and detail into just one nail it almost seems like a tiny work of art. Sometimes I will make a collaborative of several nails with one unified look, whereas other days I just pop the ones I have on off and put them in the bag (gross I know). All of those nails go onto a blank canvas spaced out an inch a part. This is one way to not only have a craft project to do (that turns out badass!), but your recycling as well.
Hope you enjoyed this wonderful recycling craft project, it looks great in the salon. You can even put a price on it and it will sell like you wouldn't believe.
