Easy way to remove Glitter Polish - No Rub Glitter Polish

2015-08-18T09:57:00.001-07:00

Today we are going to test 5 glitter polishes and see if we can remove all 5 glitter types.

If you were watching last weeks video I created 3 easy birthday nail art designs – In that video I did a birthday design that was completely a blinged out glitter design! Many of you guys commented that you love the design but did not want to create the manicure because the glitter can be a bizznach to get off...

Welllll I would like to introduce you to my glitter eatting friend - mr. No Rub! Mr. no Rob is pretty hungry today so I thought I would feed him a couple different glitter polishes - i've been wearing these glitter polishes for a couple days and have applied 2 to 4 coats of glitter polish on each nail.

The green glitter polish is by Revlon in the color tantalize This pink Luxeffects polish is by Essie in the color a cut above This middle finger is actually one of the designs I created for the birthday nails except the glitter on top is slightly different if you would like to check out the video CLICK HERE This gold and black glitter polish is by Sally Hansen in the color bold gold The last blue glitter polish is by sinful colors and the color nail junkie

Mr. no Robin is getting h angry so let's start feeding him! Step one you're going to dip your nail into the pink gel and wipe off any excess using the edge. Make sure to close the container or mr no rub will dry up and DIe! Step 2 is the hardest part for me... Waiting four minutes - so I normally put on a countdown clock on my phone! I'm just gonna fast for this part. Step three remove the glitter and goo - I like to use a paper towel and after I wipe off the polish I normally run my hands under some soap and water.
Review - did it work for all the polishes? No Mr. no Rob has a friend and she will only eats stubborn dark polishes... And I found these two little guys hanging out at Walmart in the nail polish section on the bottom shelf for four dollars. Pretty cheap right!! "What did you call us? "

I hope you guys enjoy this little review and if you have any questions make sure to leave them in the comment section down below and if you've tried either one of these guys let the rest of yes know how they work for you! See you guys next Monday - bye!

2. Use the #FabFridayNails & @Lancengi

Lets get into the step-by-step instructions on how to create this manicure.

Step one- start helping your nails any color you would like.

I'm using a pink polish by color zone and a tan colored polish by Essie called cocktails and coconuts

Step two - Apply a glitter gradient to the tip of each nail except for the accent nail.

I'm using a glitter polish by Milani. You're going to simply wipe off most the polish and apply it to the lower portion of the nail.
I'm going to add two coats of the glitter polish and focus mainly on the tip of the nail.

Step three - you're going to create a leopard print near the cuticle.

Taking the Essie polish I used on the accent finger and a bobby pin I'm applying a couple dots in a c shape.
Now I'm going in with some black polish and a toothpick and creating a little c dots around the larger tan dots

Moving onto the accent finger...

Step four i'm going to create a leopard print design on the entire nail.

Taking a bobby pin I'm going to place large gold and pink dots

Because I want to tie in the glitter across the manicure I'm going to add some gold and pink glitter.
now taking my toothpick and some black polish I'm going to create the leopard design

Finish up the design by filling in the space with some spots

Make sure to allow some time for your manicure to dry and apply your favorite topcoat

Here's what the finished manicure looks like in this design was created for one of my friends who is obsessed with cheetah print and she was completely in love with this manicure and so was I so here we are sharing it with you guys let me know in the comments down below which manicure you would like to see next you can send me a picture on Instagram using the #fabFridaynails
