Lots of us polish aficionados dread the removal of glitter polish. I know that I did before I found out about the foil method from the nail board on MUA. Here's how it works!
 |
| Before - SpaRitual Earth Matters |
What you'll need:
 |
| Little squares of tinfoil |
 |
| Two cotton balls |
 |
| Acetone - I add glycerine to mine |
 |
| Divide each cotton ball into five little squares |
 |
| Soak a square of cotton with acetone and put it on your nail |
 |
| Wrap it with foil |
 |
| Rinse and repeat x 5 |
 |
| Wait 5ish minutes, then slide the cotton + foil off your finger |
 |
| After - Bye-bye, glitter! |
And this is why I fear no glitter. Easily one of the best thing I've learned over at MUA!
Happy Labor Day, hope this helps someone!
Great post! I need to try this; I love glitters but don't wear them as much because I always dread the removal D:
ReplyDeleteGood tutorial. Some just don't know. Lol
ReplyDeleteI always just hold the cotton balls on my nails, but this seems easier and faster since the whole hand can get done at once! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this method, ever since I found out about it a few months ago, I stopped fearing glitter :) and this is going to sound really awkward but I am SO jealous of your nail beds! Mine are sooo short :/ Anyways, great tutorial! :)
ReplyDeletei know this is about the polish removal, but holy cow is that glitter beautiful! anyways, thanks for posting this, sometimes i forget there's an easier/cleaner way to remover glitter, lol!
ReplyDeleteI do this too! Totally ruins my cuticles though, sadly.
ReplyDelete@Miss Blue That's the same problem I used to have, but this makes it *so* much easier!
ReplyDelete@Brie *nod* Figured someone might find it helpful!
@Sarah Oh yeah, this really simplifies the whole thing. I love it!
@All The Pretty Polish It doesn't sound awkward... I tell people all the time that I envy their nail beds. I still don't think of mine as long, although they have come a long way! =)
@Beanie Yeah, Earth Matters is a stunner. =) You are very welcome!
@annie It used to wreck my cutes too, until I started adding glycerine to my acetone. My cutes love the stuff!
Such a great technique!
