Hey there! Today’s post is a great Dollar Tree product post. I am showing you how to decorate nail polish wine glasses.
These things turn out so pretty and each one is different. You could definitely give them as gifts but they are also a beautiful set for your holiday table.
I tried fitting a mini wine bottle inside the glass and it fit just fine. So one or two glasses with a cute, little wine with a holiday tag would make the perfect gift for your hair stylist, your massage therapist or your co-workers.
This decorating technique would also work well with the stemless wine glasses. I could not find any at my Dollar Tree though. Maybe you will have better luck.

Step 1: Prepare the wine glasses
There is not much to this step. Just be sure the wine glasses are clean and the stickers have been completely removed.
Step 2: Prepare the tub of water
You need an old tub that is clean. Add enough water to be able to dip the wine glass at an angle.
Step 3: Add the nail polish
Add one color at a time by opening the polish and pouring it into the water make a swirl of polish.
Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together.
Step 4: Dipping the wine glasses
Dip the wine glass into the water. I put the bottom in first but it was at an angle so I didn’t get it all the way to the top.
Rotate and move the glass until you like the design.
Once you get it out of the water set it upside down on a paper towel.
Repeat this process by adding more nail polish and dipping each wine glass until all of them are finished.
Let them dry completely.
Step 5: Clean up the glasses
Get out the nail polish remover and the cotton balls for this step.
Some of my glasses dripped a little and some of the polish got a little too close to the top of the glass. This is where we fix these things.
Add some nail polish remover to a cotton ball and start removing the areas you don’t like.
I also removed some weird cloudy areas where not enough color stuck to the glass.
Once you are done with this process wash them gently with soap and water and pat dry with a towel
They turn out so pretty!
Be sure to hand wash these fabulous wine glasses.

What do you think? I love these. I have to admit the process is pretty stinky with all of the nail polish. I did that part in the garage.
I used this process before on some other Dollar Tree glassware. You can find that post here if you want to see it.
I knew it was a smelly process. It did not stop me from doing it again.
These turn out too fun!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
