How to: Remove Glitter Nail Polish

Glitter nail polish always seems like a good idea until it comes time to remove it.  Luckily there is an easier way.  

before: Nail with glitter polish

What you will need:

-Nail Polish Remover

-Cotton Ball/Pads

-Tinfoil

1. Pre-cut your cotton pads in half so that you don't use too many [You will need 10 pieces in total, one for each finger].  

2. Pre-cut your tinfoil as well.  I like to cut mine in pieces about 2" by 2".

3. Soak your cotton pad in nail polish remover and press it onto your nail.

4. Immediately after tightly wrap your nail in the tinfoil.  The tinfoil will prevent the polish remover from drying and will allow it to soak against the nail polish.

5. Wait about 5-10 minutes before removing the cotton pad & tinfoil.  Make sure to press firmly against the nail when removing it, and slightly wiggle it up.

6.  Enjoy your perfectly clean nails!  

-note: I do not suggest that you do this everyday as it can be quite drying on your cuticle and nail.  After removing the polish wash your hands and apply your favourite hand cream.

NOTD - Follow me on Glitter

Today I opted for a Black with glitter nail polish look.  Achieving this look was super easy, other than the base and top coat 1 polish was used. 

What I used:

Used in order shown above from left to right

-OPI; Nail Envy (clear base coat)

-Nicole by OPI; Kardashian Kolor in 'Follow me on Glitter' ( black w/glitter nail polish)

-Seche Vite; Dry Fast Top Coat (clear top coat)

Most glitter nail polishes tend to apply quite sheer and need another nail polish colour layered underneath to really show up nicely on the nail.  But not 'Follow me on Glitter" from the Kardashian Kolor Nicole by OPI nail polish.  It only took 2 coats to cover my nail perfectly.

Keep in mind, as this is an opaque glitter polish the formula is a bit thicker than most nail polishes.

This is the brush pulled out directly from the bottle, not wiped off first.

Have you checked out the Kardashian Kolor nail polishes?  If so what colour (if any) has caught your eye from the collection?
