How to Remove Glitter Nail Polish with Foil Nail Wraps

First of all, a HUGE thanks to Lola B. at Burb Beauty, Ashley K. at Beauty Flawed, Miss Lacquer Tracker at The Lacquer Tracker, and Karen D. at Frazzled and Antipolish! They all gave me a wonderful suggestion on how to take off stubborn glitter nail polish.

In my earlier post about Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish Review, I complained about difficulties taking off glitter nail polish. After a week with this nail glitter, I was already picking my nails.

Here's a shot of my nails before:

Pretty atrocious-looking.

Today, I am attempting these girls' suggestion of the "Foil Nail Wraps" technique.

Guess what? It worked wonders! Here's how the "Foil Nail Wraps" method was done:

 Step 1

Cut a cotton pad into 4 pieces.

NOTE: Cotton balls work too.

 Step 2

Soak all cotton pads in a bowl of nail polish remover.

 

 Step 3

Cut tin foil into small pieces.

Step 4

Wrap each cotton pad on your finger nail.

Step 5

Top the cotton pad with tin foil.

Step 6

Wrap tin foil tightly around each finger.

Step 7

Wait for 5 minutes.

Done!

Here's what the inside of the cotton pad looks like. The glitters easily fell off.

Glitter nail polish took off as expected.

NOTE: When some of the glitters remained on my nails, I wiped nails a little more with a cotton pad. Polish disappeared immediately.

 

Here's an after shot:

 

Have you tried Foil Nail Wraps?

 

You should. It worked really well.
