Beauty Tips for Women: Removing Glitter Polish

I love glitter polishes but hate how difficult it can be to take it off.  About two years ago I saw a picture on instagram that changed my attitude.  Instead of using the foil method the person used rubber fingertips you find in office supply stores.  I decided to try it and was hooked. I tend to take off all my polish this way.  I picked up a box of 12 at WalMart, which offered different size of tips.

I start off by applying Vaseline around my finger not on the nail.  I do that so the acetone does not dry out the surrounding skin.  I use either cotton balls cut in half or cotton squares with some acetone.  I don’t soak the cotton with acetone.  I then place it over the nail and find a rubber fingertip that fits on top nice and snug.  I leave it on for about 5 minutes. I remove the rubber fingertips first then I remove the cotton in a dragging downward motion and it takes all the polish off in one clean sweep.

Beauty Tips for Women: Mistletoe Manicure

Recently I shared a swatch of Venique Lighten Up Ebenezer, a gold glitter polish that I have fallen in love with.  I decided to use it for my Christmas manicure.  The thought of mistletoe came to mind.

Here are the products I used to make this manicure: Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 512
Venique – Wingtip White
Venique – Lighten Up Ebenezer
Maybelline – Bold Gold
Striper – Green
Seche Vite
Rhinestones

For the middle and ring finger I did one coat of Bold Gold then placed two coats of Lighten Up Ebenezer over that.  Used the rhinestone and green striper to make the mistletoe. Rest of the fingers got two coats of Wingtip White.  I tried to do a glitter gradient using Lighten Up Ebenezer.  This was my first attempt at a glitter gradient and it came out ok.  I have to practice the technique.
