I was browsing through Cosmo and read this really great tip I wanted to share. I am a fan of gel nails…and I would wear them more often if I wasn’t stuck with the same color for so long and they were easier for me to take off myself. Unfortunately you have to go into the salon to have them removed, it’s about $5, but can also be a pain. Here’s how Cosmo said you can do it yourself at home:

**This tip goes for glitter polish, gel nails, dark hued polish, etc.

1. Soak cotton balls/pads with acetone remover.
2. Wrap one around each nail and secure with a rubber band.
3. After 2 minutes (10 for gel polish), twist off the pads to reveal naked nails.

Voila 🙂
