Glitter nail polish can be difficult to remove because the grains of glitter stick to fingernails more firmly than regular nail polish. Special care must be used when removing stubborn glitter and nail color or you can scrape and damage your natural nail. Thankfully there are solutions available to help prevent any damage. No scraping or scrubbing involved!
I found an amazing video tutorial showing how to remove glitter nail polish without running your nails. This method is super easy, fairly quick, (5-10 mins) and it works really well! This is by far the best way to remove glitter nail polish that I have come across. Removing your polish this way takes much less effort and won’t damage your nails in the process. I highly recommend trying this method!
What you’ll need
- cotton rounds
- nail polish remover
- tin foil
Although a polish remover without acetone was used in this tutorial. I prefer using a nail polish remover that does contain acetone. I find it works a lot better when trying to remove glitter nail polish and other stubborn nail polishes. You can use whichever one you prefer.
