  • Method 3 of 4: Use another nail polish to remove old paint


    1. Paint each nail one by one. Paint the new paint over the old one. You don't have to spend as careful painting as you would a normal nail polish because you will be wiping it off anyway. Don't let the new polish dry. If the new polish dries out, your nails will be harder and harder to remove and will take longer.
    2. Wipe off the paint quickly. Wipe off both the new polish and the old polish immediately after applying the new polish to your nails. Wipe with paper towels for best results.
      • Many people use cotton balls to remove nail polish, but you should avoid cotton balls when using this method. The cotton ball can fall off or stick to the wet paint and cause the paint to stick.
      • It takes a little bit of effort to get the best results. Although new polish can be used to remove old nail polish, this method will take more effort than using a regular nail polish remover.

You may have to repeat 2 or 3 times to completely remove the paint. Paints that are difficult to remove, like glitter, require more patience.

    Method 4 of 4: Take precautions with glitter paint

    1. Apply the primer before applying nail polish. Apply a coat of glue before painting your nails normally. Wait 5 minutes for the nail polish to dry completely before applying the nail polish. If you normally still apply the base coat to prevent stains, you should apply this layer after Paint the glue layer.
    2. Apply glitter coating as usual after applying the glue and base coat. The glue will harden on the nail, and the nail polish hardens on the glue. With a little effort, the glue will come off more easily from the nail, making it much easier to remove.
    3. Peel off the old nail polish. You can use your finger to peel off the nail polish. You can also use a nail pusher, toothpick, or something thin and blunt if it is difficult. Gently push under the nail polish at the base of the nail. This will easily peel off the entire coating. advertisement

    Advice

    • Acetone or pure nail polish remover is always more effective than the alternatives above. These methods should only be used if you are in a hurry or cannot afford nail polish remover.
    • Applying a popular quick-drying polish to top of dry nail polish can help remove the entire layer. This is not always effective, however, and exertion can damage the nail with force.
    • You can choose from different base paints to thin the glue instead of water. However, it should never be replaced with acetone or nail polish thinner.
    • Using a lot of nail polish remover (high in acetone) can weaken your nails, so use foundation to prevent the nail polish from sticking.
    • You should soak your nails in baking soda, lemon juice, and warm water to let the nail polish peel off after you've applied moisturizer or lotion to your hands to avoid drying out your skin caused by the lemon.
    • Use a cotton ball soaked in alcohol-based makeup (such as hand sanitizer) to scrub your nails, continuing to rub until the polish is completely removed.
    • Nail polish is not a good option, as nails can become weak and scratched if you plan on repainting them. If you have scratched and scratched the nail by mistake, you can use a file with a cushion, combine filing and rub the cushion on the nail to polish.

    Warning

    • Always try the solution before using it. Apply a small amount of detergent to the face in the arm and wait 10 minutes. If no irritation occurs, you can continue using it.
