The Easy Way to Remove Glitter Nail Polish

Something has happened to me, I have developed a glitter nail polish obsession!  Glitter, like wearing white during summer, has a limited window of opportunity.  It can only be worn over the festive period, in my mind, without looking a bit misplaced.  However, nails are different.

On the last eve of my recent holiday, I decided to spend a significant amount of time pampering myself, to make the transition between play and work less painful, this resulted in testing my new and current favourite nail polish, I’m afraid it’s another of the Asda 3D Glitter Nails, no 3 Starfish.  I have a confession, I went back to Asda, following this post, to purchase the rest of this glitter range.  I am currently rocking the blue polish.  It’s just so pretty! And coverage is great! 

During! Quality Street fingers

With this new obsession has come the problem of removal!  Glitter nail polish is just so awful to remove, until I came across this post.  To summarise: Cut 5 cotton wool pieces in half, soak them in remover, secure to nails with foil, leave for five minutes and wingle free resulting in the way nature intended nails.  My initial thoughts were, oh gees, what a lot of messing!  But as it works so well, my nails have never looked cleaner, it is totally worth the faffing about!
