How to: Removing glitter polish with the foil method
I love using glitter nail polish, but I absolutely hate removing it. I did hear about the foil method before but it just seemed a bit scary to me, the thought of soaking my nails with a lot of nail polish remover made my heart cringe. So I kept scrubbing my nails like crazy after every glittery manicure, until I got a bit sick of it and started to avoid glitter polish. After a while I really started to miss the sparkly glitters, and the foil method crossed my mind again. I decided to give it a try, with the help of some hand cream of course! ;)
You will need:
-nail polish remover (I used an acetone/alcohol free one)
-cotton pads
-scissors
-aluminum foil
-small elastics/rubber bands
-cotton pads
-scissors
-aluminum foil
-small elastics/rubber bands
Before we get started I'd like to show the manicure I wanted to remove (our cat Lara clearly didn't like it much). It was some sort of grey leopard-ish look with 2-3 layers of multicoloured glitter on top.
I started with cutting the cotton pads in quarters
After that I soaked them with a generous amount of nail polish remover
I placed the pad on top of my nail and used a rubber band to make sure that it would stay in place
Then I cut the foil in smaller pieces and wrapped it around my finger
After I was done with the rest of my hand, I waited about 8-10 minutes...hoping for the best
Wow, it really worked! I was a bit worried that my acetone free nail polish remover wouldn't be able to do the trick, but my nail is perfectly clean!
The glitter is all on the pad now, although my nails and cuticles did feel very dry after this 'treatment'. It's definitely a must to pamper your hands and nails with some cuticle/hand cream after using the foil method. My nails didn't get weaker though, so I'm happy and relieved!
