Removing Sparkle Polish

My friend Alona heard about this method to remove those impenetrable sparkle polishes...  And great googly-moogly, I was impressed!  So I took pix after the first two nails came out clean to show in case you've never heard of the technique.  I'm taking off the previously blogged Captivated mani!  Gosh these sparkly polishes really last!

You'll need yr nail polish remover, aluminum foil, scissors and cotton balls.  The ones sent with Cult Nails orders work perfectly!!!  Cut the foil so it's large enough to be wrapped around your finger tip.

Get some polish remover on a cotton ball.  Put the cotton ball over a nail and wrap your finger tip in the foil.  Repeat 9 times like a boss.   (a nutty boss trying to accomplish something with tin foil on her fingertips)  

Now look like a dorky boss as you flip through Pinterest.  

After 10 or so minutes, or a blink of an eye Pinterest time, firmly grasp a foil tip and rub it across your nail a few times, to rub off any remaining polish.  Remove foil from fingertip...

And hopefully you've got something like I did!  Upon removing the foil it's not immaculate, some cleanup is definitely necessary.  But the last time I removed a heavy sparkle/glitter polish it took a solid hour of rubbing and rubbing and rubbing my nails.  This cut my time by half at least!  I wrangled the hubs and got him to take pix, so who knows how long this takes normally! :D

I'm definitely going to do this again!
