DIY Nail Polish Remover Jar

November 9, 2013

DIY Nail Polish Remover Jar

 

I change my nail color at least once a day and sometimes more times then I care to admit when I am swatching a collection or working on an easy diy nail art post so I can go through bags of cotton balls and every napkin known to man in a short time, and that’s just ridiculous to me. It seems like such a waste, right? The other day I was browsing one of my favorite blogs, One Good Thing By Jillee, and saw that she made her own DIY Nail Polish Jar & I’ve also seen this infographic of the diy nail polish jar floating around Pinterest forever so I decided I needed to give it a go! From what I was seeing it looked super easy!

supplies

1| Nail Polish Remover 

2| Sponge 

3| Baby Food Jar 

directions

2| Roll your two sections of sponge together. 

3| Push your sponge snugly into your baby food jar and fill it with nail polish remover. 

DIY Nail Polish Remover Jar Directions

 

4| Take that dark nail polished nail and get ready! (Obviously, you can do any color) 

5| Place your finger in the jar and twist a bit, up and down side to side whatever floats your boat. 

6| About 15 seconds later, you’ll have a freshly cleaned nail! 

 

TIPS

*This will work wonders with glitter nail polish if you’re not a fan of the alien hands foil method 😉

*Make sure to tightly put your lid back on so you can keep this fresh!

*It actually saves you on nail polish remover too, because what you pour in is about the equivalent of what you would use to remove one manicure but since it absorbs into the sponge and stays wet, you can probably get 5-6 uses out of before needing to refresh with more remover!

*Use a great hand moisturizer after you’re finished to keep your hands and nails in good shape, nail polish remover has a tendency to dry both out.

 

WILL YOU BE TRYING OUT THIS DIY NAIL POLISH REMOVER JAR FOR YOURSELF?

    This is a really great idea Ange! I actually use felt to remove my polish. The texture works well to get glitter or textured polish off. 🙂

    OH my! Thank you for sharing this! I have such a hard time getting off my glitter nail polish, but I put it on all the time anyway. Even better that it saves money, too. I will definitely be trying this trick out.

    This nail polish remover jar is just brilliant! Part of the reason I don’t paint my nails more is because the removal process is so stinky and time-consuming. I will have to try this!!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣
⁣
In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣

While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Drug dealers get longer sentences than rapists. ⁣

Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣

Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
