nail polish vinegar image
Lady
In our science investigatory project, we are planning to make a nail polish out of alugbati or malabar night shade. When I searched for improvements, I knew that it is the hydrogen peroxide that makes the polish stick to our fingernails or toenails. Now, if we mix the hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, alugbati extract, salt/iodine, is it okay? Or isn't it harmful?
Answer
There is no single formula for nail polish. There are, however, a number of ingredient types that are used. These basic components include: film forming agents, resins and plasticizers, solvents, and coloring agents. The exact formulation of a nail polish, apart from being a corporate secret, greatly depends upon choices made by chemists and chemical engineers in the research and development phase of manufacturing. Additionally, as chemicals and other ingredients become accepted or discredited for some uses, adjustments are made. For example, formaldehyde was once frequently used in polish production, but now it is rarely used.
The primary ingredient in nail polish is nitrocellulose (cellulose nitrate) cotton, a flammable and explosive ingredient also used in making dynamite. Nitrocellulose is a liquid mixed with tiny, near-microscopic cotton fibers. In the manufacturing process, the cotton fibers are ground even smaller and do not need to be removed. The nitrocellulose can be purchased in various viscosities to match the desired viscosity of the final product.
Nitrocellulose acts as a film forming agent. For nail polish to work properly, a hard film must form on the exposed surface of the nail, but it cannot form so quickly that it prevents the material underneath from drying. (Consider commercial puddings or gelatin products that dry or film on an exposed surface and protect the moist product underneath.) By itself or used with other functional ingredients, the nitrocellulose film is brittle and adheres poorly to nails.
Mixing the pigment with nitrocellulose and plasticizer
â¢1) The pigments are mixed with nitrocellulose and plasticizer using a "two-roll" differential speed mill. This mill grinds the pigment between a pair of rollers that are able to work with increasing speed as the pigment is ground down. The goal is to produce fine dispersion of the color. A variation of this mill is the Banbury Mixer (used also in the production of rubber for rubber bands).
â¢2) When properly and fully milled, the mixture is removed from the mill in sheet form and then broken up into small chips for mixing with the solvent. The mixing is performed in stainless steel kettles that can hold anywhere from 5 to 2,000 gallons. Stainless steel must be used because the nitrocellulose is extremely reactive in the presence of iron. The kettles are jacketed so that the mixture can be cooled by circulating cold water or another liquid around the outside of the kettle. The temperature of the kettle, and the rate of cooling, are controlled by both computers and technicians.
This step is performed in a special room or area designed to control the hazards of fire and explosion. Most modern factories perform this step in an area with walls that will close in if an alarm sounds and, in the event of explosion, with ceilings that will safely blow off without endangering the rest of the structure.
Adding other ingredients
â¢3) Materials are mixed in computerized, closed kettles. At the end of the process, the mix is cooled slightly before the addition of such other materials as perfumes and moisturizers.
â¢4 )The mixture is then pumped into smaller, 55 gallon drums, and then trucked to a production line. The finished nail polish is pumped into explosion proof pumps, and then into smaller bottles suitable for the retail market.

So...I dont think..that Hydrogen peroxide will help u out...moreover...here is the link abt ur lab preparation of nailpolish...

By the way...H2O2 is used to treat stains of Nailpolish or nail fungus

As a chemistry student..I can say ..it is highly effective bleaching agent...though it is of 30% solution it is highly effective....so better with draw the peroxide idea....
NOT DISCOURAGING YOU.....THINK OTHER WAYS OF PREPARING THE NAIL POLISH...HOPE U DO WELL...GOOD LUCK...:)

How do you get nail polish off of your nails without nail polish remover?
Cheyenne
My nail polish remover isn't working and I don't have time to go down to the store. How do I get it off?
Answer
You could try rubbing alcohol, or if you have acetone, then use that. I think vinegar works too but I'm not sure.
