I have a young daughter, already into crafting. The detailed explanations in tutorial videos really help her have the confidence to try a new project. Thank you! And for people criticizing the detail of explanation, please don't just think of your own level of crafting ability. There are children and also people with developmental disabilities and learning disabilities that like to craft as well and need the extra information.

This was a great idea. I used mine for stepping Stones in my fairy gardens.

These make great "treasures" for when my kids play pirates or princess or whatever they need treasures for. We did a bunch as an easy craft and now they don't ask for my jewelry when they play! They make great play jewelry too if you add a bit of wire or glue them to a plastic headband. Also super cute as magnets for the refrigerator. A simple idea, but lots of good uses and the kids loved making them.

You all need to gtfo if you're gonna be rude. She never made the video to blow your mind or try and make you think this was the greatest thing since the light bulb was invented. She just wanted to give people some ideas for gifts or decorations. No matter how easy or cheap it is, it's still a cute idea and it makes a nice gift or something to put on a shelf. Nobody said it was rocket science. You all need to stop being so rude. If you were so uninterested in the idea you wouldn't have clicked the video in the first place.

Just stick them in a bottle cap and there you go a charm! I did this with the small ones

Now glue a magnet on top of the nail polish after it dries and enjoy pretty fridge magnet if they aren't too heavy

I truly enjoyed your presentation of that super idea. Several possible ideas for using them come to mind = (1) attach a small magnet on the back & use for notes, lists, photos, etc. on your refrigerator; (2) glue around a simple photo frame to jazz it up; (3) glue around top edge or over the whole surface of flower pot to add bling. Thank you for sharing & demonstrating this craft idea. God bless!

Reading through the comments, All I can say is, I thought this was neat and if you can't say something nice, keep it to yourself. It's just as easy to think," I didn't like that, I'll go check out someone else's channel." No nasty comments needed.

People are so mean!!! I appreciated the video...yeah it may be common sense. But common sense isn't so common anymore. Just like people's manners...keep doing you girl:)

Damn it. And here I am, coming here thinking you were gonna pour out a whole container of nail polish and make a huge glob

HELLO CALA, I WANT TO FIRST THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME SOMETHING COOL TO DO WITH MY GRAND SONS AND GRAND DAUGHTERS, THE COMMENTS ON YOUR PAGE ARE CRAZY BUT OUT OF 2 MILLION VIEWS ,,YOU WILL FIND A FEW NUTS IN THE BASKET,,,,LOLOL , WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH WAS CALLED COMING INTO ADULTHOOD, FULLY ,, AND I AM SURE YOU WILL BE FINE , YOUR AN AWESOME YOUNG LADY,,,THEIR LOSS

I did clear glitter polish and used a makeup sponge and dabbed on some green pink and blue. Let that dry then did black nail polish and had a cool galaxy looking gem. I used the smaller ones and it worked well. They look really cool

I use the little ones and hot glue them to my Polish bottles for swatches or so I can see the true color of the Polish

Actually, I think the smaller ones would make cool jewelry, maybe even studded earrings. And the bigger ones as magnets or paper weights. But in THAT case, I'd probably put the top coat or maybe even spray lacquer over the colored nail polish to seal it in. Great reason to buy the Wet & Wild (or other very cheap) nail polish and have more color options.

To all you haters, she took her time and money to make this video for us. Maybe she was giving it to someone as a gift? So stop hating, and start appreciating.

I'm not creative but this looks like fun. Glad I found you. They have endless possibilities. Thanks!

This is definitely my Christmas gift to my large extended family next year. I found 18" silver coated necklaces for $1 each on ebay, so I'll wire wrap these gems and give them to people as gifts. It's hard to find homemade inexpensive things that are also nice :)

Love it ! It would be great to do so you can see how your nail polishes or glitter mixes look when actually applied =D

Don't listen to the inappropriate comments ..this is a great video ..kudos

these are cute...the smaller ones can be used in other crafts like phone cases and these would make a good display for a nail artist to show off their polish selection. my kids would carry these gems to the end of the earth because they just love crafting. Thanks for sharing!

This is so cool! Thanks for teaching this! I have a lot of old polish that is going to waste, so this would be a great use for them, and they're so cute!

For all the haters out there calling this craft useless and too simple, here are some ideas for what you can do with your nail polish gems: -Hot glue them to thumb tacks/push pins and put on a corkboard -Glue magnets to the back and make pretty magnets -Place in a shallow glass bowl for decoration -Hot glue to a thick headband and make your own custom headband -Just carry them around as a reminder of what a bad-ass crafter you are cause you made these ALL BY YOURSELF. But wait, if you're hating on this video, Its probably because you didn't even try to make this craft, right?

YES I'VE BEEN USING NAIL POLISH FOR YEARS FOR MY ART PROJECTS , AND I MUT SAY THIS IS ONE I HAVE NOT TRIED ,THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE GEMS A BEAUTIFUL !!!

A lot of people say this is not creative. While it may be true that is not really creative, it is still an amazing idea for someone who doesn't have much money and wants to do something like this to make homemade jewelry. If you people wanted something creative then there are multiple way to make this creative in your own way.

If your making these you could also add a magnet to the bottom to make a pretty magnet!

They would make really cute magnets for the fridge..LOL Especially for like collage kids with small dorm frig's. You could even add letters or other things..Great idea's...Thanks and sorry about the comments..

A while ago, I got a silver glitter polish that was so dense with glitter I didn't want to use it on my nails, because I like sparser polishes, but I kept it around because I knew there had to be something I could do with it. I stumbled across your video today and it's the perfect use for it! I just made the gems tonight and they look spectacular! Thanks for putting this video up!

I'm actually really loving this idea. I already see so many possibilities (the art of thinking creatively)... I'm just gonna repost this... For instance you can do various sizes from which case you can make jewelry from it such as necklaces, rings, or bracelets; it can be used to make costumes and cosplay; it can be used to decorate items (if they are the smaller gems); it can be used as centerpieces; you can use nailpolishes then to paint on designs (of course the layering would have to be backwards where you'd paint the design then the background) which then can be anything you want like chevrons, swirls, seasonal, etc. The fact that it is nail polish means that you should then be able to remove it and clean the gems with acetone. So that you can recycle the gems and then repaint them as needed (maybe to fit a season, or a color scheme).

Luv the idea...thank you sweetie. Also remember if no one is hating on you...you're not doing anything major. 😊 New subbie

It would be really cool to put a magnet on the back of each and make them into magnets.

I don't care what the other people are saying , this is a good idea to save you from buying different coloured gems for crafting . I decorate trinket boxes & use glass gems alot . I have loads of nail polish that i don't use so will be doing this to save money .

Beautiful!! I am pretty critical, tell others like it is; if I don't like it, they'll know! But your 'gems' are lovely, & so EASY; my Darling Granddaughters are going to LOVE making these!!!! Thank you!

OMG so much back stabbing and criticism on these craft videos. So what if it's a simple craft. So what if something's been done before, maybe that person did think it up without first seeing it online. Life's too short, just be nice to one another, people.

WOW....negative comments!.....if you don't like the video, why did you watch it? She had an idea and she made a video, big deal. Just for fun I am going to click on some of you that made a negative comment and see what you do for fun! Go figure, you are all BORING!!! you like or not like other people's videos and don't post your own. Sorry can't stand negative ass people....Misery likes company people!!! Anyway,I loved the video and the idea. TFS!

Love this idea!!! You can glue them on almost anything!!! Thanks!!

Oh boy, yes, great idea!! We can pass them out as Christmas gifts because it's just what everyone wants & needs!

You don't need a "topcoat", you need a TACO! :D

Cute idea...I wouldn't have thought of it. Those who are rude are envious get a life the time you wasted on a negative comment you could have used to improve something in your life

Love this idea! Totally using it in my classroom for attendance, writing steps, etc.! Great tutorial! Second grade teacher~CA

So many nasty comments!!! Yes...it is a simple idea!! But it is one that I didn't think of on my own. So I am going to do this with my 8000+ bottles of old nail polish. Pretty fridge magnets etc... Better than a whole shelf of old nail polish!!! Thanks for the cute video!!

Thanks for showing me how to put nail polish on a rock

if you're a crafty person, you could embelish these cabochons ( 'cause that's what they're actually called) with beads or some modelling wire and make them into some nice rings, earrings or pendats.. or heck.. keychains sound great too :D

I have a lot of the large gemstones and never thought about painting them with nail polish, so thanks for the idea!

Thank you for the post. It was very detailed and will help me get my very young nieces started on crafting.

Sapphire, Ruby and Garnet gems for Steven Universe cosplays!

How would a little picture go glued on to the bottom and then covered with a couple of layers of polish, resin or even modpodge. Then hot glue a strong magnet on the back. They would make nice gifts for grandmothers if they had a kids pic etc.

I really like this crafting idea. Endless possibilities. I tried this today and ended up with many cute little unique gems. And if you don't like how a design turned out, grab some polish remover. Very nice.

I absolutely love this idea! They are so so pretty! Also a great way to decorate your nail area and display your nail polish, mixes, etc for your clients! Love it!!

These are great and I would put a magnet on the back so it could be a very pretty magnet great video by the way

They're soooo pretty! Although i'd suggest changing the title to " How to make gems look pretty " since a lot of people think you made the whole thing out of nail polish

Just today I tried my first experiment with painting these. First, I tried metallic watercolor. It was pretty, but not vivid enough. Then, I tried acrylic paint. I didn't even think to try nail polish, so I really appreciated your video.

great imagination and a thoughtful homemade and inexpensive way to make gifts. I have been racking my brain trying to come up with activities for my daughter to do while she is in the hospital. thank you !

hay, a tip from me: I did this project,and for you guys who said its a horrible thing, its great for fun and for kids. calm down. A interesting twist to this is to try to use different layers of clearish nailpolish, liek the cheap ones for kids After that add a layer of glitter and it looks good Another thing is that using paterned marbles makes it more interesting, like the wisp ones.

You put top coat over the polish... but over time, it will chip. Should use some other kind of sealant to make it last longer.

Great idea for giving for holidays birthdays but what a great idea as baby, wedding showers!!!! As decors around gifts, tables etc. Thanks for the mind clearing ideas.

This is my first time seeing this craft! I absolutely love it. It is a great way to show off all your glitter mix is easily to your friends or customers or clients. I'm definitely going to be making these thank you so much for the idea!

thanks for showing me how to put nail varnish on a rock.

I thought you were going to be making the gems using only the nail polish. Common sense would tell us that we could just buy clear gems and paint them. Thank you for the deceiving video.

I have seen your photo after I sent the comments. You are very beautiful and you also have a sweet voice. As a mother of three daughters I felt very happy when I saw your photo. My daughters are equally beautiful.

Love your projects! Everything ive seen is so creative and beautiful! I'm a nail polish junkie and probably have over a hundred bottles at any given time. I always regret this because many dry out or become too thick before I can use all the polish. Now I've subscribed to your channel and I have no excuse to ever let a color dry out or become un-usable! Thank you!!

so cool

The correct pronunciation is mine not mines. Other than that, you are AWESOME #beyourself

Thank you so much for this video!! I actually made some today and my family loved them!!

Always looking for diy projects and this is a good project...for those with negative comments get over yourself and grow up

You could also get an enamel spray for less than $5 for the glitter mix gems.

NUU, THERE'S NO H💿L💿💿 HOW AM I'M SUPPOSED TO LIVE NOW?

I'm going to do this. I have almost no money to buy Christmas gifts so it's either buy nothing or make some really cool stuff. Thanks for the idea. These are beautiful.

Love it...I turned mine into magnets for the fridge. Plus, you can get the black crackle and turn them into crackle magnets....happy crafting. Debs from Texas

You sound like Mabel from gravity falls! X3 This so awesome btw

If you dab dab dab the glitter nail polish on, itll make the polish fab.

I'm not usually into this stuff, but this is an amazing, simple video. I shall pass it on because I know someone who would love to make these. Thank you for making this video Calla.

I did this when I was younger and still do it 😀 I think it's very crafty and nice to have in your room

can i add magnet to the back to put on refridger(spell wonge)

so cool!! great idea!!

Oh my lord I love them so much I just wanna look at them all day

I absolutely love these. I have some all over my fridge.

does it work with with cleer marbles

Are these fish tank safe? I am going to get a beta fish soon, and I want a perfect, cute, and decorative tank for it that matches my room style and theme. These are SO PERFECT for the little rocks at the bottom, and even better, I can customize them to my likes. But, will the chemicals from the nail Polish or glitter get it sick or kill it? If not, I am so doing this!

Even the most advanced artist would respect simple projects. Be nice in you're comments. I think it is a lovely project and plan on doing it this weekend with my kids. Thanks for the video!

So pretty! Thanks! I'm going to have my students make these in my Home Economics class for a gift for their moms for Mother's Day!

So many criticisms about grammar from people who can't spell or construct sentences themselves. Please cut her a break, no one is perfect, she kindly made us a video and also seems like a nice person. There are so many rotten shits in the world, and people who don't deserve to be nit picked come from all different backgrounds, have a multitude of different accents and use different slang. The people from England think our english is terrible, and they seem to us as uf speaking a different language sometimes. I understood the person who made the video. Share some love people.

I don't understand why all you people have to come on someone's KZfaq channel and watch what they posted, if you're not interested. You seem to make a big deal out of the 6 mins it takes for this gal to explain what she's making, at which anytime you could've stopped the video and moved on. There is no reason for you to be mean to her or to the people that posted to you to leave her alone. If there's nothing better for you to do but go on the internet and post hateful things to people than you would be better off painting these resin stones with nail polish and giving to strangers and when you do you should say something kind to them. It's people like you in this world, going around saying hateful things for no reason that make the world a place where you wouldn't want to have your child grow up cause they could be the victim of someone like you that is mean to them for no reason or maybe you are one of those people that was or is one of those victims and is being hurt by someone, or made fun of, or just needs someone to tell them that they are a beautiful, special person in this world, but whoever or whatever is going on in your life there is no reason for you to say horrible stuff to another person. love one another. I'm sure some of you are going to come back on here and say some mean things about my comment but that's alright. I know that you've got you're own issues and I'm at home right now unable to leave the house without a mask and rubber gloves on cause I'm on medication that has made me have no immune system at this time cause I'm living with M.S. but I would never think of going on someone's KZfaq channel and saying something mean about their craft because that's what they wanted to share with the world and I appreciate anything and everything anyone wants to share with us. ThankS for reading my post if you took the time out to read it and if it changed one person from writing a mean comment about someone's gift they've chosen to share than I've done my job and I feel like I made my little difference in the world. Love and Peace.

I made some after seeing this video and they turned out GREAT! So THANK YOU so much for making this video and sharing your awesome ideas with us!

they came out to be really adorable! going to try this out!

Cool idea but the word is mine not mines. That was quite annoying.

What, did you want her to say 'Hey guys, all you need is nail polish and magic and you can make these!'. Sure, anyone can do this. I can do this. And that great. Did you want something difficult and complex to make these or..? Calm down, y'all. It's an idea and hey, gee whiz, maybe some people haven't thought of it? Not everyone just KNOWS this from birth. Not everything thinks of this by themselves. Jfc.

This a great inspiration for people to start this craft

I bought a glass container then put white rocks and one of those candles that lights up. looks super cool at night. everything from dollar store-$3. Going to use these instead of rocks in next one! Will b awesome. thanks!

it bugs she shit out of me when people say mines. It's mine. Not mines. I got MINE a a craft store.

How creative, NOT she painted a gem with nail polish, c'mon people how does this impress you?

I like this project. I'm an artsy kind of guy and I've been getting into this cabochon gem art lately. Thanks for the tutorial.😊

These would be cute for homemade jewelry. I'd love the black one on a necklace.

U keep saying mines and I am sooo sorry that I am being picky about that

it's not mines it's *mine* sorry its just a pet peeves of mine

Wow they look amazing and super easy will definitely try them!!!!

This is really cute!!! Mine turned out AMAZING!!!!!!!!

This isn't rocket science

I can't get past the use of the non-word "mines."

Hi Calla, Beautiful brightly colored gem stones that you created! Great activity to turn an otherwise dreary day into an artful happy one. Thanks for showing us the technique.

This would be great if you use smaller size of those clear gems and after doing creating them, you can glue them on top of a nail polish bottle as a swatch/indicator of the color of that nail polish bottle
