Today is my day off. I was quite bored. I thought that my day off would be more fun if my fingernails were electric blue. It was cool for a while, then I realized that I look like a tool. Ain’t that always the way.
Anyways, I want to take this crap off now. But I have searched high and low, and there is no nail polish remover. Barring a run to the drug store in the morning, I’m not sure what to do. Does anyone know a handy home hint for removing nailpolish?
Chainsaw?
sticky tape, just tear of a strip and stick it to your nails and rip it off again, keep on doing until all polish is removed
hope it works for ya
Do you have some acetone in the garage? That’s the main ingredient of old-style nail polish remover. Be careful with the fumes, though - that stuff is flammable and not good to breathe.
Run to the drugstore now instead of tomorrow?
ok, here is a trick I have used.
it’s not the best, but it does work.
reapply nail polish.
this will usually ‘rewet’ the layers below.
then wipe off with a paper towel.
usually a clear works best.
That’s a good suggestion, Babs. It’s one of the ways to remove permanent marker from hard surfaces, too (use some of the original offender, then quickly wipe it all off) - not the best way, but it works. Meyer, I just thought of another thing to try, but I don’t know if it will work okay or not. You could try some of that universal solvent - bug spray. Yes, the kind of stuff we put on our own selves to keep mosquitoes away. Cutter Insect Repellent works wonders. Have you ever wondered why the lawn mower plastic grips melted while you mowing the lawn after applying some Cutter’s? uh huh…
