Glitter Removal

Remember my disco manicure? I said I'll keep you updated about the removal of all that glitz and I keep my promises. =)

I didn't have to much trouble removing the Wizard of Ooh Ahz glitters, but this one (ChG Nova) is a bit trickier. That's why I decided to try something I heard of on MUA Nail Board. I don't know who came up with this idea, I just know it ISN'T mine. =)

So... Here's the situation. Glitter, glitter, glitter.


I cut the cotton pad to 4 smaller pieces. Soak a piece of pad in nail polish remover (it doesn't have to contain acetone) and place it on the nail.


Wrap your finger (with cotton pad on your nail) in foil. Repeat on other nails.


Wait a minute and then remove the foil along with the cotton pad. Voila! Your nails are clean and glitter free! =)


I always practice this method: soak the cotton pad in remover, press it to the nail and hold in there for 15 seconds. It's really easier to remove your polish that way (glitter or creme). Foil is the key here, 'cause you don't have to hold the cotton pad and it keeps remover from evaporating. You may feel the warmth or tingling feeling to your fingertips... =)

Hope this helps! Especially for you, who are ''afraid'' of glitter. ;)

Thanks for looking!
