After the love chips...

I love glitters and mixed manis with layered strips of eye-catching nail colors.
Until it’s time to remove the nail polish. 😣
Layers of polish and glitters tend to be a little on the stubborn side. They can take forever to remove with just nail polish remover and cotton.

Make a clean break

This nail salon trick can make your at home nail polish removal a piece of cake.
You will need:
  • ​cotton
  • aluminum foil
  • and nail polish remover​​
Click here to watch a video tutorial on how to remove stubborn nail polish. Step-by-step process detailed below. 

For Glitters & Polish Strips Removal

STEP 1: ​Saturate cotton in nail polish remover. I prefer a polish remover with acetone. Works faster.
STEP 2: Place remover soaked cotton on top of nail.
STEP 3: Use foil paper to secure cotton in place over nail.
STEP 4: Wait 5-10 minutes to allow polish remover to penetrate and weaken nail polish bond.
STEP 5: Press, Squeeze, and Pull. Nail polish will slide right off with the cotton. Just be careful not to cut yourself while twisting the foil. This writer learned that the hard way... ouch!!

For No Chip Removal

First, buff the top coat of polish with a nail file. This will help the acetone to penetrate the layers of no chip. 
Proceed with STEPS 1-5 above.
  • But use pure acetone ​(not to be confused with a nail polish remover that has acetone)
  • And wait 10-15 minutes before sliding off cotton foil wraps. The no chip mani will generally need more time to release the bond than a glitter nail polish.
STEP 6: Use an orange wood stick to gently push away any residue.
Now, your  nails are ready for the next gorgeous nail color!!
