Because soaking off your polish at the salon just sucks…

I’ve been off manicures lately (opting instead for DIY shaping and clear polish), and I’ll admit part of the reason is simply a shortage of time. Dip manicures did the trick for a while since I only had to go every three weeks, but after a while I just wasn’t in the mood to deal. The manicure itself wasn’t that much of a time suck, but sitting there for 20 minutes or more to soak off the previous one started to get really annoying. It would have been great if I could soak it off myself at home, but I obviously don’t have a big-old jug of acetone, or the proper tools to remove the polish without damaging my nails. Then a beautiful thing happened…

I randomly discovered this Triangle Nail Polish tool and it was like an a-ha moment. Apparently I could soak cotton balls in nail polish remover, wrap aluminum foil around my fingertips and catch up on the last This Is Us before gently scraping my old manicure away.

Even better, it’s only $10, and it sounds pretty study since it’s make of stainless steel. As silly as this sounds, the 20 minutes this tool can save might actually be enough to get me back to the salon.
