If you've avoided glitter polishes because they're a bear to remove — and they can be! — here's a solution. Finer glitters come off more easily than chunky ones do, but the key to cleaning up your nails is in the formula. "The best way is to use 100% acetone remover from a beauty supply store," Barokas says. "It removes glitter faster than what you get at the drugstore, but it can be drying to thinner nails." To avoid parched nails, she recommends soaking nails in warm olive oil for five minutes. Couldn't be easier.
