Removing Sparkly Polish


SPARKLES! I am a sucker for anything sparkly and shiny, my brother has taken to calling me 'Magpie' when we go shopping because apparently I have to stop and take a peep at anything shiny! So..this maybe true. Like most girls I adore glitter nail polish, my all time favorite is  'Teenage Dream'- by OPI. This polish is Ah-mazing, the glitter is so thick it does not require a coloured base coat to show up clearly. But as they say beauty is pain, and this is very true when it comes to removing glitter nail polish, its painful in the fact it takes forever to remove completly, for some reason glitter nail polish seems to have super glue-like abillities to stick to your nails. But alas an easy simple way to remove the glitter polish has been discovered! And it just takes a few simple steps.

You Will Need

Nail Polish Remover
Cotton Balls
Aluminum Foil

STEP 1

Apply a generous amount of nail polish remover to cotton ball

STEP 2

Place cotton ball on your nail

STEP 3

Take a small square of foil, place on top of the cotton ball and wrap up your finger

STEP 4

Once the foil has been on for 10-20 seconds, apply pressure onto your nail as you slide the foil off in one swift movement, and TADA! your nail should be squeaky clean!

I have found this method of nail polish removing perfect for red and dark brown polishes also as the colours tend to get on your skin when removing the polish.
Well I hope you enjoyed this handy hint! Please share your favourite sparkly polish in the comments and any requests you have for me :D
