Removing Glitter Nail Polish - the easy way

So we all a bit of Glitter nail polish - especially me! I was excited to try the Models Own Juicy Jules which I reviewed yesterday but I knowing how long it usually takes to get glitter nail varnish off - and knowing how glittery this one was not looking forward when I had take it off.
I had seen some reviews online of people using the tin foil method to get glitter nail varnish off and to be honest at first I was a little bit skeptical - could putting tin foil on really make it that much easier? After spending 5 minutes trying to get the glitter off 2 of my fingers I thought right, time to give this method a go!

OMG I am SO impressed! It worked a treat, after just 5 minutes and some wiping it coame off like a dream. Heres what I did.
You will need: Cotton Wool - I used cotton wool pads cut in half to get more use out of them, Tin foil cut into strips big enough to go around the end of your finger and nail varnish remover - this is superdrug acetone free for £1.39 (it actually spells quite pleasent)
Once you have everything you need put some nail varnish remover on your cotton wool and lay over your nail. I pressed it on a little bit so the remover soaked into the varnish.

Once you have done this add the tin foil around your nail. Repeat for the rest of your nails. 

Wait for 5 minutes and then remove the tin foil. Wiggle the cotton wool and then wipe the nail clean. It should come off all in one easy wipe as if the glitter wasnt there.

Once you have done this add the tin foil around your nail. Repeat for the rest of your nails. The pictures below show you a before and after - look how glittery that polish is and after no trace of it after just 5 minutes!

I will definately be using this method from now on when I use a glittery polish! Have you used method before? Did you find it easier to do?
