If you're like me and have used glitter nail polish you know that we have a love-hate relationship with them. We love the shine and dimension that they give but trying to get these polishes off your nails is a pain.
That is no longer the case! I came across this technique of polish removal on a nail blog that I was randomly searching. I am not taking credit for coming up with this method. I just thought I'd share this helpful tip with my readers.
I started off with three coats of this glitter polish from Sephora. Three coats? Yes! Trying to remove it like traditional polish would take forever.
So here is what you need: a nail polish remover, cotton balls, and square pieces of aluminum foil big enough to wrap around your finger and a cotton ball.
I decided to use one of my favorite polish removers by Deborah Lippmann which smells like lavender and works really well. It also comes with a pump top which is really convenient.
You're going to start by dampening your cotton ball with the polish remover (don't completely saturate it because you'll have remover all over the place). Place it firmly on top of your nail and wrap a piece of foil around your fingertip. Make sure it's nice and tight so that the remover does not easily evaporate.
I failed my first attempt. I only left it on for about 1 minute. What a dummy, haha! You need to leave your fingers wrapped for about 5 minutes.
When you go to unwrap your fingers, give them one last good rub down with the cotton ball and voila! You're glitter is gone and your nails are clean.
So long glitter! See you later!
Have any of you ever heard of this method or tried it before?
What are your favorite glitter nail polishes?
