Best Ways to Remove Nail Polish Without Remover

      1.Dark Nail Color:  Surprised? Well, it is true. If  you have a nail paint that is darker in shade than the current one, you can make use of it for removing your nail color. Apply the dark nail color to your already color nails in thick coats and wipe them off with a cotton ball right away. Be as fast as possible so that the color doesn’t get enough time to dry up.  

2.Top Nail Coat: Transparent top nail coat comes very handy, when it comes to removing nail color without a remover. The procedure is similar to the previous one. All you need to do is apply a layer of top coat over the old nail paint and wipe it away with a cotton ball before it gets dry. You may have to repeat the procedure, if the old color does not come off easily.

     3.Warm Water and Dry Cloth: This is another natural way to get rid of nail color that you can easily give a shot. Take some warm water in a bowl and put your fingers in it. Once the old polish becomes soft enough (it should not take more than 20 to 25 minutes), take the fingers out of the water and rub the nails gently with the dry piece of cloth. The nail paints will come off effortlessly. However, be careful about the temperature of the water so that you don’t end up burning your skin.
