" I’m Lillian with expertvillage.com and we’re ready to remove the old polish. What I’m going to do is get a cotton ball and get some nail polish remover. Soak it pretty good and squeeze the excess. When you apply the nail polish remover to your nails, you want to kind of let it sit there for a while and soak it and then it removes easier. As you could see by the rest of my nails, the polish that I have worn for the last two weeks has grown out and of course, it grows out from the base so I am definitely for a new manicure. I do the same thing on all the nails. Let it set for a while and then just wipe from the base to the tip, same with the next one. I also used a protective towel on my workspace for in case there are drips from the nail polish remover so it won’t damage your furniture. Sometimes, I’m just using a tray table but if you’re using an expensive dinning room table, kitchen table you might want to put a plastic under the towel. So I’m going to do the same thing on each fingernail and I’m going to get a new cotton and before I start the other hand I’m going to go over the other hand that I’ve taken most of the polish off because it still has a pink tone to it to totally remove the rest of the polish."
