Frequently asked questions
A simple way to add a touch of glamour to your indoor plants is by using nail polish. You can paint the pots with colorful polishes or even add designs and patterns to give them a unique look. For an extra pop of color, try painting the tips of the leaves with a bright shade.
It is recommended to use a water-based nail polish as it is non-toxic and safe for plants. You can find a variety of colors and brands available in the market. Avoid using regular nail polishes as they may contain chemicals that could be harmful to your plants.
Absolutely! You can get creative and use other materials such as paint, glitter, stickers, or even fabric to decorate your plant pots. Just make sure that any materials you use are non-toxic and won’t harm your plants.
The durability of the nail polish design depends on the quality of the polish and the amount of wear and tear the plant pot is subjected to. Generally, water-based nail polishes are not as durable as regular nail polishes, so you may need to retouch the design from time to time.
Before applying nail polish, make sure the plant pot is clean and dry. Use a base coat to help the polish adhere better and prevent staining. Allow each coat of polish to dry completely before applying the next, and finish with a top coat to add shine and protect the design.
