Making your $$$ work - Take Two

Ok... so I know this has been done before, but bear with me.
I wanted to show how I use this method (not only for glitter removal, but for dark, staining colours too)
 in a way that doesn't require running to the store for a fresh roll of foil every week LOL

This is the removal process after my CG Drummer Boy post.

Start as usual - foil and cotton wool/discs:

First money saving trick - cut up your cotton wool/disc to the size of the nail
(not only are you saving, but also your cuticles don't get soaked!)

I cut each disc into 6 pieces: 

As you can see that's PLENTY for the nails I have (if you have larger nails - cut the disc in 4)

Next comes the foil. Again, no need to use a huge amount. I prefer a triangle shape.

Fun fact - did you know cutting foil sharpens your scissors?

Anyway, back to the nail - I make an envelope, like so:

1. center the nail

 2. fold one end over

 3. fold the other end over

4. fold the top over.

 Finished result:

 

Now you wait the usual amount of time (3-5 min for me works ok)

I carefully take off the little parcel:

 

Here are all 5 from the left hand:

Drumroll...... you take each of these, add a little remover, and stick them on the right hand!

By the time I am done with both hands - this is ALL that I have used:

I know this may be extreme to some of you, but why waste money when you don't have to?

I get away with using as much for both hands as some people use for two fingers.

As I mentioned earlier - this is not just for glitter.
Anytime I use red, blue, green, purple or any other colour that may stain - I will use this method. 

I will also do this when I use a peel off base coat, but only leave it on for about a minute.
Same goes for my toes - and they get to have some glitter sparkles all year round!

I do hope this has been a useful post! Always happy to hear your thoughts and opinions))

What are the tricks you use?

Thanks for stopping by!
