How to: Remove Glitter Nailpolish

You’ve probably all been there at least once…You had spotted this gorgeous glitter nail polish, but got an immediate flashback to the last time you tried to remove such a polish. There is an easy trick to remove all that glitter and below you will find out how.

Things you’ll need:

 

Step 1:               

Cut 3 cottonpads into four pieces. Even though you'll end up with twelve, we of course only need 10.

Step 2:

Tear 2 pieces of aluminum foil of about 10 cm wide and then tear a piece into 5 equal parts. Repeat this process with the other piece of foil so you’ll end up with ten small pieces of aluminum foil in total.

 

Step 3:

Rub some vaseline or thick creme on the cuticles to protect against the drying effect of acetone.

Step 4:
Pour some acetone on the glass dish and dip the cotton pads in it. They need to be moist enough in order to work effectively.  

 

Step 5:

Place a cottonpad on the nail and then wrap a piece of aluminum foil around your finger. Repeat this process with every nail.

Leave this on for about 10 minutes. You can then check if the real nail is cleaned. If not, leave it in on a bit longer.

Et voila to your clean nails, ready to be painted again 

Important: Do not use this method on fake nails (acrylics etc.) since this method could also be used to soak them off!

Too remove artificial nails you will need to leave the cottonpads a bit longer and possibly still have to file the acrylic or gel residue off. 

Has this method inspired you to start using glitter nail polishes again?
