I painted my nails last night, and decided to use a nail kit from forever 21 that included a Tiffany blue polish and loose teal colored glitter. You sprinkle the glitter over wet top coat. I liked the look of it, but the texture of it is killing me. It's rough and gritty, so I've decided to take it off. Problem is, it's not coming off! Any ideas? Preferably not involving nail polish remover with acetone in it, because in this weather I'm not able to go to the store and get any. The remover I'm using now is a non-acetone polish remover and it's always worked in the past. Help?

Try soaking your nails in it, like with gel polish. Soak cotton balls in the remover, place them over your nails and leave them for 20 minutes or so.

You could could try wetting a cotton pad/ball with non-acetone remover and then wrap tin foil around the cotton pad/ball and the nail. wrap it tight mind x

I was going to suggest what Hannah said. glitter polish is the worst for trying to take off.. just soak them for a few minutes, scrub them, & repeat until it's all off c:

It isn't coming off because of the glitter. If you scrub really hard with the nail polish remover it should eventually come off!

This sounds really weird but you could try put a regular coat of polish over it and then use polish remover while it's still wet. I've never tried it with glitter but it works great with regular polish, may be worth a try! :)

If you put another coat of nail polish on it, it will smoothen it out, and you won't have to take it off.

Hannah's tip all the way! It works well for all glitter polishes.

Put nail polish removal on a cotton ball and rap it on your finger with aluminum foil. Do this for every finger and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. than take it off and wala no nail polish.

I found put on a top coat and while it's still wet take your cotton ball and swipe downward. The polish soften the polish beneath the glitter pulling it all off.

Try soaking your fingers in warm/hot water, then soaking for maybe 30 seconds then removing it normally.

To prevent that next time you can use Elmers glue as a base coat(: then the glitter will peel off

Wet cotton pads with pure acetone and let sit for 10 minutes. It's harsh on your nails so if you can apply olive oil (or any oil) daily and leave polish off for a week or so, that would be best!
