How to Make Clove Dye at Home
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons ground cloves (or whole cloves, crushed)
- 1 cup water
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for extra shine)
Instructions:
- Boil the cloves in water for 8–10 minutes.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then strain it.
- Add coconut oil if you want a glossy effect.
- Dip your nails into the clove dye for 5–10 minutes, or use a cotton ball to apply it directly.
- Let it sit for at least 20 minutes before rinsing.
You’ll notice a light natural tint that deepens with repeated use, along with stronger, healthier nails.
