Now that you've got your supplies, it's time to get started. Soak a cotton ball in some nail polish remover and place it on your nail - it's like giving your nail a little bath. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrape off the polish with a nail stick or cuticle pusher.
But, what if the polish is being super stubborn? That's when you can try soaking your nails in a bowl of warm water mixed with some nail polish remover - it's like a mini spa treatment for your nails. Just be careful not to over-soak, or you might end up with pruney fingers!
