If you’ve ever tried to remove glitter nail polish, you know that it can leave a trail of glittery mess all over your fingers, clothes, and surfaces. Glitter is notorious for sticking to everything, and it can be tough to remove from your nails without leaving behind a trail of glitter particles. Today, Grace & Glamour tells you about our Glamour nailcare professionals’ trusted tricks to remove glitter nail polish without creating a glittery mess. So, Glitter on! ..ugh or off..whatever works! Haha!
The foil method
According to Glamour nailcare experts, the foil method is one of the most effective ways to remove glitter nail polish. Here’s how:
- Soak a cotton ball or pad in nail polish remover.
- Place the cotton ball or pad on top of your nail.
- Wrap a small piece of aluminium foil around your finger to hold the cotton ball or pad in place. Repeat these steps for each nail.
- Let your nails soak for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and cotton balls or pads and gently scrape off the glitter polish with an orange stick or a metal cuticle pusher.
The foil method helps the nail polish remover soak into the glitter polish and loosen it up, making it easier to remove.
Peel-off base coat
Another way our nailcare Glamour experts suggest is to use a peel-off base coat.
- The trick is to apply a peel-off base coat to your nails before you apply your glitter nail polish as you normally would.
- When it’s time to remove the polish, use an orange stick or a metal cuticle pusher to gently lift the edge of the polish.
- Once you’ve lifted the edge, you can peel the polish off in one piece.
The peel-off base coat creates a barrier between your nail and the glitter polish, making it easier to remove.
Use a glitter nail polish remover
If you don’t have access to aluminium foil or a peel-off base coat, Grace & Glamour nailcare pros say that you can also use a glitter nail polish remover which is specifically designed to remove glitter polish and often contains larger particles that help to scrub away the glitter. Here’s how to use it:
- Apply the glitter nail polish remover to a cotton ball or pad.
- Hold the cotton ball or pad on your nail for 10-15 seconds.
- Gently rub the cotton ball or pad over your nail to remove the glitter polish.
But as a reminder, using a glitter nail polish remover can also be messy, so be sure to work over a towel or newspaper to catch any loose glitter particles.
Along with the above, our Grace & Glamour team also pointed out some other #simple hacks to tackle the glittery disaster:
- Create a Barrier: Before you start removing the nail polish, create a barrier between your fingers and the surface you’re working on. You can use a paper towel, an old towel, or a plastic bag to protect your work surface from the glittery mess.
- Soak Your Nails: If you’re having trouble removing the glitter nail polish, try soaking your nails in warm water for a few minutes. This will help to loosen the polish and make it easier to remove.
- Use a Toothbrush: For stubborn glitter particles, use an old toothbrush to gently scrub the glitter off your nails. Be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid damaging your nails.
- Clean Up: Once you’ve removed the glitter nail polish, clean up any remaining glitter with a sticky tape or a lint roller. This will help to remove any glitter particles that may have landed on your skin, clothes, or surfaces.
