Cups are one of the objects that we use the most on a daily basis at home. They accompany us during the mornings at the beginning of the day, in exams, work deliveries, or chats with friends. Due to their use, they often break, so new cups are always welcome at home.

Materials
– White ceramic mug
– Water container
– Nail polishes (you can also implement the use of natural and homemade paints)
– Wooden stick or cotton swab
Process
1. In a container with warm water. Make sure it’s big enough to hold your mug. Pour some of the nail polish in the color you want.
Note: pour the polish on the surface of the water and directly from its container (not from the brush). Don’t drop it from too high a height, as it will sink to the bottom without expanding in the water.
2. Now you can also add other drops of a different shade of color to create a combined design.
3. Spread the paints a little with the help of a toothpick or cotton swab.
4. Now place the base of your cup in the water and let it drain. This will give you the original watercolor finish. Try not to touch it until it is completely dry.
Note: Please dip the cup only once. If you think you need to do it again, do it when it has dried completely.
