Nail Design with a Baggie

I came across this cool nail idea on Pinterest & FB using a baggie and crackle polish.

First you take a baggie and apply any color you'd like and let it dry completely.

Then apply your crackle polish over your polish.White is the only color I have,however you can apply any color you'd like.Let it dry completely till it cracks.I also applied the crackle alone (right) however it did not crack without a polish underneath.


 Then cut the colors apart.


Then fold in half and cut your design out.I chose hearts.


Then apply your polish to your nails,and while wet apply your hearts carefully.Apply folded side down or they will keep popping up.You'll need scissors or a pointed edge to hold the edges down onto the polish.


Then apply a top clear coat to hold down.Viola♥Beautiful !

Removing Your Polish the Easy Way

Removing glitter from your nails can be virtually impossible at times.Sometimes you need the use of a sand blaster to remove glitter.Here's a simple,however quite effective way!



  1. Take some cotton balls.
  2. Take one cotton ball and rip it into tiny thin pieces
  3. Then pour remover into your cap.
  4. Then hang your piece of cotton over the side of the cap into the polish,however do not put the cotton directly into the remover or you will end up with it dripping down your hand.The remover should travel up the cotton piece on it's own.Make sure to use a big enough piece of cotton to cover the nail completely.
  5. Then place the saturated cotton onto your nails one by one.
  6. Then wait about 5 minutes.
  7. Then take a whole cotton ball and saturate it with remover and remove the piece on your nail with the whole piece.It may take a couple of swipes,however it works quite well when you soak your nails first
  8. Viola your nails are polish clean.

Opening those hard to open bottles of Nail Polish

You ever have those bottles of polish that you just can't budge because the polish gets Gunked (not sure if this is a word...(Gunked)up around the top,and you feel like you should have ate some Wheaties or spinach.Here's 2 tips to help.

  1. Soak your bottle in HOT water for about 5 minutes or longer if needed until the polish around the top softens up. I've tried polish remover,however it doesn't work that well.
  2. Or you can take a cloth or wrap some rubber bands around the neck of the bottle for a better grip.
