Sorry about the picture quality
Start by soaking a little bit of the cotton wool in nail polish remover, don’t add too much as this will make a mess instead do just a small section big enough to cover your nail.
Place it over your nail a press it down, cut a piece of tin foil and wrap the top of your fingers still with the cotton wool inside. The point of the cotton wool is simply to hold the cotton wool in place.
Squeeze the tin foil tight and leave to soak for 3-5 minutes.
When removing hold the tip of the tin foil which is on top of your nail, squeeze tightly, wiggle and pull off.
You will them be left with perfect nails with no glitter and no nail polish.
This technique is much faster in the long run and far less stressful then having to watch your cotton wool pad get stuck to the glitter on your nails.
Do you have any tips for removing glittery nail polish?

Thanks so much for sharing this, I was just struggling with this a few days ago 🙂
SUCH a great tip! Thank you. I adore glitter polish but have stopped wearing it lately purely because of the hassle of removing it and the fact that I'm getting through a huge amount of nail polish remover. Thanks for this. Cannot wait to try! Wondering whether clingfilm would work, too, to keep the cotton pad in place…

agreed, I love glitter polish but it's such a pain to remove! I'm going to give this this a go, because at the moment I refuse to wear it because it actually hurts to get it off! xxx

Thank you!! I never thought there would be an easy way to remove it but will have to see if this works!!
This works really well, but don't do it too often, it dries out your skin terribly! x

p.s. my usual trick is to paint over it and ignore it…
