Removing Nail Polish From Your Nails

October 9, 2009

Removing Your Fingernail Polish, Lady Removing nail polishInstead of using a tissue or cotton ball to remove nail polish, I use an old washcloth. I find this works much better because the texture of the washcloth helps scrub off the polish and it doesn't shred or tear like the tissues do. I also find I am using much less polish remover.

After I've used it a few times, I just throw it in the washer. The nail polish won't come out, but the remover does. This helps save money by using less polish remover, less tissues and is environmentally friendly.

When I remove red nail polish using a cotton ball, my hands become covered with the red polish I am removing. I found that if I take a panty liner, cut it in thirds, remove the paper protecting the adhesive, I can pour nail polish remover on the pad and it does not seep through to my fingers!

If you will go to a nail saloon you can buy a small bottle of the same kind that they use. in the long run it is much cheaper then the cheap kind we buy in the stores. if you get your nails done in a nail saloon you will notice that they can take off the polish very fast..this is because it is a stronger kind.

think I paid like $3.00 for a small bottle an it last a long time.
