I have glitter stuck to my finger nails! I made the mistake of letting my boyfriend pick my nail polish color last Saturday so he picked the shiny sparkly glitter nail polish. For a week I had the nails of a teenager. Now I'm trying to get it off and the Polish is gone but the glitter is still stuck to every fingernail! will the acetone polish remover help? my polish remover is non acetone and I can't think of anything else...

Okay, I have your solution. My daughter does this ALL the time and this works like a charm. Get some cotton squares and soak them in nail polish remover. Lay one over each of your nails and cover with foil. Wait for about 5 minutes and then squeeze and jiggle each one as you take it off. Your sparkles (and polish) will be almost or totally gone! It saved us hours of work!

Acetone or non acetone? This is really awful because my fingernails are rough and crusty feeling because of the glitter :-(

Calm down. Take deep slow breaths. How fast do you want your glitter nail polish residue removed? The quickest fix is amputation…are you that desperate? <---this is a joke
