Except that it uh. Is a bitch to remove.

I just spent 20 minutes trying to get it all off and it won't come off :/

At least what's left

I've given up because I'm hungry

I saw that if you soak a bit of a napkin in remover and use foil to hold it on the nail for a few minutes it'll get hard to remove polish off in one go :|a Someone used it for ultra glittery mutli-coat polish

Just moisturize extra since it does dry your skin out more

^^^ i can vouch for this being the correct way to remove hard to remove polish

Oho, I'll try after I eat

Yeah, ditto the nail polish soak

I'm just so sad because it's such a pretty color, but my hand is so unsteady

... i have pads that just take it off with minimal effort

i'm ruining this pattern of soakage

but do they do the same thing

nope

well, they are fucking magic, but

we bought them last year cause they were a dollar each, haha, it'll go in a Christmas stocking it's fine if it's dinky

WE'LL PROBABLY USE EM ALL TO CLEAN ONE NAIL ANYWAY

and then ma cleaned both her hands with just one

whoa

the most we've ever used is three

what are they called

it's just this stuff!!

ymmv obviously but we're so happy that these exist

also they do smell really good and not at all like nail polish remover

aaand they are acetone free

ohhh nice

:|b

yeah i take off nail polish by ripping a cotton ball into a bunch of pieces, soaking them with remover and putting them on my nails for a few minutes. works wonders.

and i can do both hands with two cotton thingies max

Oooohhh I'll have to try that too

Are you bracing your hand against a table to do your nails? as dumb as it sounds i find that sometimes i do and sometimes i don't.

Semi sort of?

doing it on a table will help, 's all. if it's possible to rest your hand, it's a thing.

i did that when I painted my nails again! well. braced it against the side of my table. it helped a lot

:|b yeah and like. SOME POLISHES ARE JUST. TERRRIBLE AT SHOWING BRUSHSTROKES. GLASSFLECK!!!

prety as hell, but shows all the strokes

YEAH

Also the blue is super runny

I might use it for other stuff cuz I've been watching nail tutorials oops

NAIL TUTORIALS ARE DANGEROUS I see other people have suggested the method I use (cotton balls), so I will just add that

SO DANGEROUS thankfully my nails aren't long enough for this stuff

neither are mine (mostly), but the dangerous part is that you don't really need super long nails for a gradient

(I ... really like doing gradients ...)

........ how

did you know

i was watching that sort of vid right now

Reverse Gradient Nails

BECAUSE GRADIENTS ARE THE FIRST THING I DID WHEN I STARTED GETTING INTO NAIL ART

IT'S SO PRETTY AND SIMPLE

they just look really cool /)_(\

I.... I know what I'm doing this weekend

I've also gotten into glitters which is terrible

I used to do uh

I'd do glitter on my left hand in like middle school because I thought I was cool and was like TEEHEE MICHAEL JACKSON GLITTER GLOVE ON LEFT HAND TEEHEE GLITTER NAIL POLISH
