Uh oh! You're ready for a fresh mani, but staring down an empty bottle of nail polish remover? Don't panic! You don't need to sacrifice your nails to the polish gods. Here are some clever, remover-free hacks:
* **The 'New Polish' Trick:** Quickly apply a fresh coat of nail polish over the old. While it's still wet, wipe it all off with a cotton pad. The solvents in the fresh polish help dissolve the old!
* **Rubbing Alcohol Power:** Soak a cotton pad in rubbing alcohol (or even hand sanitizer!) and hold it against your nail for a few seconds. Then, rub vigorously. It might take a little elbow grease, but it works!
* **Vinegar Vibes:** Similar to rubbing alcohol, vinegar can break down the polish. Try soaking your nails in a mixture of vinegar and lemon juice for added oomph.
* **Hairspray Hero:** Believe it or not, hairspray contains solvents that can soften nail polish. Spray some onto a cotton pad and wipe away. Be sure to wash your hands afterwards!
Remember to moisturize your nails and hands after any of these methods, as they can be drying. Happy polishing (and un-polishing)!
