A Small Sparkle Obssession

Ask anyone who knows me - I'm not a sparkly kind of gal. I've never worn sparkle/glitter body gel. In fact, I don't even really love an eye shadow that has a shimmer. But, recently I became a bit obsessed with sparkly nails! It's not quite up to par with my mint obsession but it's close.

So pretty.

I especially love it for toes!

Sparkles are fantastic...until you want to take it off!

Here's what Deborah Lippmann, celebrity manicurist, said - First of all, be gentle. The course glitter can damage your nail. {Oops! guess I shouldn't have been filing the glitter off of my nails!}

Here are the steps she gave for safely removing glitter nail polish - 

Step 1: Saturate cotton with acetone or polish remover (a remover with acetone works best).
Step 2: Place the cotton on the nail and wrap each finger in aluminum foil. Press down.
Step 3: Leave on for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Pull the foil off and your glitter polish will glide off, too!

There you have it! Now you can enjoy your sparkly nails and safely remove it too!
