Simple Sunday: Alien Toes?

September 16, 2012Julia

I am a little behind posting today’s entry. I was trying to get home work done and the house cleaned, and glitter polish off my stupid toes.

Have you ever had problems getting off nail polish?

Holy crap.

I texted a friend and she said to do the “foil method.”

The “foil method?”

What the heck is that?!

Have you ever done this? Its the coolest thing since sliced bread.

You soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover.

Lay it across your nail.

Tear a piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around the cotton ball and your toe.

Sit back and wait. (I played Sims).

About 10 minutes, unwrap the foil and slide the cotton ball against your nail.

The polish should come right off!

Now, I can take the ~~concrete~~ glitter polish off!

Cool beans, huh?

Very cool! I would have to say there has been a time or two when my daughter talked me into the glitter polish on my toes that was never coming off! This “foil method” will really come in handy! Thanks, Thyme
