Hey Guys
This is my first tutorial - So please give nice feedback lol =-/.
Ive constructed a step by step guide to help you guys remove Glitter Nail polish =).
Glitter nail polish is fun and awesome...however, removing it -can be a REAL
pain in the rear!. I always regret wearing glitter nail
polish, when attempting to remove it =(.
Ive always heard people refer to the 'Tin Foil system ' So
i couldn't wait to try it.
What you will need :
- Nail Varnish remover - For this i am using Non acetone Varnish
Removing from Boots.
- Foil - cut up into small strips (I cut mine 1.5 by 2 inch - but you really
don't have to be exact here =)).
- Cotton - I used baby wipes, I cut them into small squares- but
cotton rounds will work perfectly for this.
Step 1 (Below)
Tab some nail polish remover on the cotton. Then apply this to your nail.
I folded the cotton for a better fit =).
Step 2 ( Below ).
I then wrapped a strip of foil around my finger tip.. Making
my fingers look like something out of a robot / Horror film lol.
By folding the foil around your fingertip- it allows the Remover to soak in =).
Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the rest of the fingers on one hand - I
didn't attempt this on both hands - as you need your other hand for the final stages.
Wait...4-5 minuets...I suggest putting...attempting to press play
to this song lol =)
Step 3 ( Below)
The you need to apply gentle pressure to the nail and Twist -the cotton
and foil from side to side, a couple of twists will do the job.
Then remove the cotton and foil off your nail =).
Then .... like magic the glitter is gone!
All you now need to do is wash your hands and give them some loving care ,as the
remover can sometimes be harsh to your finger nails and cuticles.
now...brace yourself...this is what 12 months of constantly varnishing with no breaks - to allow your nails to breath...does to your nails..
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial..Ill defiantly be doing more in the future =)

I've tried this method with foils like Space Cadet and it makes it easier. I should have waited a bit longer, though.

I have tried this method and it works wonders!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your tutorial, it's very clear! I linked you on my blog. Anyways I've used this technique before and I think it's the only thing that works with glitters...
ReplyDeletethis is perfect! I was having issues trying to get my sparkles off, found this just tried it and it's amazing! there were only a few places that weren't perfect but you can scrape off any remaining sparkles easily with your finger nails as long as they're still damp from the polish remover!
ReplyDeleteI found this blog by googling 'remove glitter nail varnish'.
ReplyDeleteBought fabulous glitter nail varnish but couldn't get it off.
This method worked a treat Thanks.
I am also British and also like Konad stamps. Now going to browse the rest of your site.
