How to remove glitter nail polish

While the glittery ombré nail trend is super cute, the idea of having to sit for an hour scraping off glitter is enough to keep many women away from the sparkle. But removing glitter nail polish doesn't have to be labor-intensive. Just follow these steps:

Step 1: Soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover with acetone.
Step 2: Place the cotton on the nail and wrap each finger in aluminum foil. Press down.
Step 3: Leave on for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Pull the foil and cotton ball off and your glitter polish will glide off, too.
Step 5: If there's any glitter left on your nail, use a nail buffer to get rid of the rest.
