Have you tried the tinfoil method, linked to in the first post, originally shared by elsiebutts, works like a breeze, although when I tried it on my fingernails on Fri evening I swear my fingertips started to pulse????

Yep! Nothing is budging it. Won't be using it on my fingers that's for sure

Yep, even with the foil method it wasn't for budging. All the colour came off but the glitter steadfastly refused to go. Got there eventually but I'm not doing that again.

What a nightmare, you poor thing's it removed the technic carnival ok luckily, maybe Opi use superglue on their glitter????

I don't remember Excuse Moi being this difficult to remove from my fingers. Perhaps I used more coats on my toes. When I use it next time I'll just do one coat over a plain pink I think.

ive poured remover in a bowl and sat with my hands in it for ten minutes before to get technic off!

Eeeeeeeuuuuuw! Didn't that make your fingers all scaley? Mine all peeled when I tried that before discovering the foil method!

I use as little glitter as I can get away with, usually over a matching or contrasting colour. Black is great to put coloured glitters over.

Oh crap, I've got the space of half an hour to get my technic off tomorrow evening! Likely hood of happening appears to be slim to nil! Lol

if you do end up soaking Soap and Glory's heel genius is just as amazing on the hands as the feet, restores them back to being nice and soft anyway.

My Technic came off reasonably easy today, I got as much off as I could with the remover then went into the kitchen and washed my hands picking off the glitter on each nail with soap. Another rub over with remover then finished it off.

I must be lucky-my glitters all come off fairly easily

Technic isnt so bad because its chunky, its those little fiddly glitters that are a pain in the arris I find. Boots 17 I'm looking at YOU!!
