Your momma's polish-remover-in-a-tub revamped!

You may have seen these jars of removers growing up and even hated them. Well I have now grown to love these! For personal use and convenience these tubs have become "life savers". I no longer have to mess with cotton balls or damage miscellaneous surfaces because of where I place my acetone drenched cotton balls. I got this remover tub from CVS for under $4. The inner is now filled with plastic/rubber for finger insertion instead of the sponge thingy like back in the 80s (when I first saw one). This does dry my hands/fingers but it gets the job done quick and easy. I change my polish daily so this really helps me out. I didn't see other selections on remover liquids (acetone free and so on) so I bought the 100% acetone one. It claims to remove glitter with ease....we shall see. I will be keeping this tub for a while (till it gets gross) you can dump out the old liquid and fill it with new remover. Which I will do! :) yay for more polish changes with ease!! This is especially good for swatching days.

Misbehaving polish?

Rarely but it does happen I have polishes that harden or get chunky/clumpy. Well a striper "went bad" before I could even use it! I scraped out clumps (the more chunks removed it will be easier to clean with less acetone to waste). I scraped out the big clumps with a plastic cuticle pushing stick and a dotting tool. In went the acetone, I shook it for a while then poured out the excess. I cleaned the metal ball on a cotton ball. I didn't clean it thoroughly but enough to keep this striper brush and bottle around to use and reclean for other colors I like.
