How to remove glitter polish

Glitter nails look amazing but can be a real nightmare to remove.

Here’s how to make the process a little easier.

  • 1. Buff to break the seal with our Buffing Block.

Too much buffing can damage the nail, but you want to get the first layer off and rough up the polish a little to allow the remover to penetrate the polish.

Simply dip your finger in the pot and gently twist leaving in for the count of 10. Once the majority of glitter is off your nails, give your nails a good wash with soap to get rid of the loose glitter on your skin. We recommend labelling your NPR pot as glitter only.

How to recreate a French Manicure

This look has been splashed across the pages of every nail inspo board on pinterest and you have probably saved it at least once on insta. We are taking a trip back to the 90s to recreate the perfect French manicure. This look can also be switched up for a modern take by creating a thinner white tip or perhaps take a couple of different shades and create a minimal gradient French rainbow.

  • 1. First, apply your base coat. Back To Life* works perfectly as it is slightly tinted pale pink. The base coat also doubles as an intensive treatment.
  • 2. Next take White Out, a pure white polish. Wipe off any excess polish from your brush before application. In short strokes create a soft V shape along your tip, softening the V as you go. Use the natural white of your nail to guide you.
  • 3. If you want to create a slightly more modern look, simply make your white tip a lot thinner. You can also try this technique with any shade you like.
  • 4. To seal and protect your polish colour apply Lacquer Lock. A revolutionary top coat that features sunlight curing technology, using natural UV rays to lock in your colour for extended wear for up to 14 days. The result - brilliant shine and glossy nails. Wear over any polish to create a longwear result that is resistant to breakage and chipping.
