Glitter Removal--The Easy Way!!

I have seen this technique in multiple youtube videos and nail blogs but just in case this is new to anyone else.... I absolutely love glitter polish but it is such a pain to get off. This uses cotton balls, acetone and aluminum foil. 


First tear a sheet of foil into ten squares. I like the squares to be pretty big. 

 Next take a cotton ball soaked in acetone and place it over the polished nail.

Take a square of foil and wrap it around your nail and finger. Scrunch it down so it is flush against the skin. I usually fold the top down over real good to make a nice seal. Do this to all your nails. When your fingers look like a creature from a low budget sci-fi flick you are done :) I wait about 3-4 minutes. 

When I take the foil pods off I usually twist them for a last minute sweep of the finger nail. The white is the residue left from the acetone. After this is all done I wash my hands really well with lots of soap and warm water. I use a nail brush on my cuticles and nails really well. Then I use a generous amount of cocoa butter lotion all over my hands, specifically focusing on my cuticles and nails. Acetone can be really rough on your skin but so far so good for me. I think good after care is the key! I love this method. Much better than scrubbing away forever!
