Having a problem removing glitter?



Are you having a problem removing glitter? Weather its micro, hexagonal or both. No matter what type of glitter it is, it can be such a pain. Im sure a lot of you know this method but I figured its worth showing because for those of you who dont it makes taking glitter off so much easier! Ok so lets begin! 
Cut strips of tin/aluminum foil it doesnt really matter how big as long as it can wrap around you finger nail about twice.

Start to unroll a cotton ball
Then once its all unrolled..
Rip it half so you have two pieces
Now fold it in half then half again and you have two cotton balls! It actually doesnt take much time and you dont waste cotton balls, I do this a lot when im removing nail polish even if its not glitter.
Continue the process until you have 10 cotton balls

Put 100% pure acetone on a cotton ball
Push the cotton ball over your nail
Wrap your nail in the tin foil- I just wrap it about twice then fold over the top. Make sure its really tight so it doesnt fall off. Its a bit tricky at first and when you have one had tin foiled while doing the other one is hard lol but you get the hang of it. Kinda hahahaa 
Leave it on for about three minutes. The longer you leave it the less glitter will be left over when you pull it off. I like to hold the bottom really tight then while pulling up go back and fourth(left and right).
Then youll see whats left in the tin foil/cotton ball if you choose to unroll it lol(;

Just take a cotton ball and clean off what was missed and depending on the glitter and how long you leave it on nothing will be! 

I hope this helps some of you and I hope you all had a great weekend!! Thank you all so much for joining me with my blog and leaving such nice comments- It means so much to me!:D

  1. I have bought the Gel-Off "clips" that basically replaces the foil, very easy and quick too. You can find them on my blog, if you want to see them...
