How-to: remove glitter nail polish

Must show this to my niece - she spent an hour trying to remove glitter nail polish off her big toe (yes, one toe) when she injured it in a skiing accident last week!

I heard about this but not in such great detail. Thanks for writing this up as someone who loves to rock a good glitter polish this is going to come in really handy :)

so so so helpful!

Yes I do notice its harder to remove than some other polishes I just persist until I get it all !

I am definitely going to try this. I am always reluctant to use glitter as much as I love it just because its so difficult to get rid of

Simple yet I have never thought of it. good job BH

Top article!! I find some brands have sparkly polishes that are much more stubborn than others. From a scale of 1 - 10, I've found OPI is the 10 (hardest) to remove (omg!!!) and the Essence brand was a 1 (easiest) - that was a 'phew'!! I really like the way sparkly polishes chip much less that normal ones so that's on the upside of things!

Great tips, will certainly come in useful for me!

I like to be able to remove my polish as quickly as possible, so it is a very rare occasion that I wear one of the only 2 glitter polishes I own. My polishes are mainly matts and shimmers which usually slide off really easy with polish remover and without harshness to the nail. I am too impatient to do a longer removal method.

This was so helpful! During summer I painted my nails with this gorgeous turquoise colour! When I attempted to remove, it stained so bad that I I had to keep putting nail polish over it to hide it. In the end I had to wait until my nails grew because I had yucky blue stained nails for weeks :(

definitely a helpful tip! glitter nail polish is really very very hard to remove

great article! i've always had a problem with this so i have generally avoided glitter nail polish

It is a great. I found this on another web site and I do it all the time. I cut the foil into strips and cut the cotton balls in half. I dab them in polish remover put on fingers and wrap foil strips around as i am doing all 10. It is good to leave on at least 5 minutes but by the time you get to the last nail the first nail is ready to remove the foil.... It work's great. I just did it yesterday.

This is exactly what I do to remove glitter nail polish! Works like a charm every time! :)

I love glitter nail polish and it is terrible to remove.. But I did find this foil remover on another site..... IT REALLY DOES WORK. I cut the foil into strips and soak the cotton balls in polish remover place on nails and wrap the strip around it leave on for about 5 minutes and glitter is gone

Tried this out tonight to remove my Skyfall by OPI... worked a treat!

It's always a massive pain to remove glitter polish! It makes it even harder when you're using a non-acetone polish remover!

I've read this tip many times but have always been too lazy to do it! I really must do it next time as removing glitter nail polish is a pain as is time consuming anyway.

Just tried this out and it worked and I'm so amazed!!!! Quite fun to do too haha

What a great tip a use less glitter as i hate taking it off ; so this was a great read and so easy. Thanks for great tips like this that help so many of us

definitely a helper! i always avoid glitter polishes just because i hate removing them!

Saving that to favs.......I have worn a glittery nail polish a few times but gave up as it took ages to try and get all the nail polish off. Great tip and will certainly pass that on.

will emember this one

Great tip. I will give that a go next time I wear glitter or textured nail polish.

Great tip. Would try next time
