28 Brilliant Beauty Hacks That Will Change the Way You Apply Makeup

Trust us — we know how hard it is to remove a glitter manicure. So much so that we avoid polishes with particles at all costs! However, manicurist Nonie Creme has the process down pat.

Let the pad sit on the nail for at least 10 seconds without rubbing, and then slide off the glitter. Violà!
