The worst type of nail polish to remove is hands down the glitter filled kind. It takes ten times longer to scrub the glittery bits off your nails than any version without it. The worst part is when the nail polish remover soaked cotton swab you are using snags and sticks to the glitter on the nail then tears up the swab into an unusable mess!
If all this sounds familiar then you need to view this video and learn this cool trick. It will save you time, energy, and overall just make you more sane the next time you go to remove the dreadful polish.
This method involves a glue base coat that will allow you to peel the glitter right off. It only lasts about 2 days so keep that in mind if you want or need a longer wear time. For those who like to change their polish color or texture often, this is perfect. You will need Elmer’s glue, water, and a nail polish bottle, plus an optional small funnel to make it even easier.
Begin by squeezing some glue into the bottle and use however much you feel is enough to coat all the nails you plan on painting. Then pour a tiny bit of water into the bottle. This is where a small funnel will come in handy. Screw the cap on tight and shake the bottle until the glue and water are well mixed.
You want to have a consistency that is similar to what you find in a store bought nail polish base coat, which is slightly thicker than regular polish and not on the runny side. If you need to thicken it add more glue, and to thin add just a few drops of water at a time.
Once you have adjusted the glue and water to the ideal texture paint it on your nails like you would regular polish. Wait for it to dry into a matte state and then paint on any overcoat you desire.
The video shows us how easily the glue peels off nails. Even with three coats of glitter paint it lifts cleanly off. In total, around 90% of the polish comes off with the glue and then rest can be rubbed away with polish remover. Try it the next time you want pretty glittery nails and you’ll be glad you watched the video and learned this technique!
