How can I make my nail polish look glossier?

Love Zombi

I got a bunch of different shades of nail polish for Christmas, and a few of them from a brand called China Glaze aren't at all glossy. When they dry they have a dull matte finish and look like I used acrylic paint on them. I'm using a clear top coat to make them look glossy, but I'm wondering if there's any way to eliminate the middle man entirely.

Answer
put a clear coat over it (: some times i mix it in with the base coat but if you put too much it will ruin it so id suggest a test run on a color you don't like first (:

Is there anything I can use as a substitute for nail polish remover?

HiHi!

I know about the clear nail polish alternative, but are there any substances found around the home which could help remove old nail polish? Like soap, detergent, or even rubbing alcohol?

Answer
99% citric acid will remove it quite well. Also, men's British Sterling is faster than nail polish remover. Bleach will also take it off.

What removes nail polish from carpet?

So last night i was painting my nails and i got some nail polish on my carpet and i cant get it out. Please help.

Answer
You can usually remove spilled nail polish with scissors, but you have to wait until the polish is completely dry. Then snip the polish off with sharp scissors.

Just cut the very tips of the fibers. Work slowly. Don't cut a single millimeter more than you have to and pull up while cutting. This will help prevent divots in the carpet. Try your best to do just one or two fibers at a time...not a whole clump. "Dissect" any clumps first by cutting them in half or thirds.

This will work unless you have already used nail polish remover and have worked the nail polish into the carpet.

Also...cutting the nail polish works on shag or plush carpet, but not Berber or loopy carpet.

Good luck.

How do you remove nail polish from the carpet?

Q. My mom spilled nail polish on the carpet and can't get it out. Any suggestions?

Answer
I am sorry to break the news to you but you might have to get a Professional carpet cleaner. Also if it's a white carpet the nail polish remover. (It takes all the colour out of everything so only white carpet.) Hope it helps.
