The provided source doesn't describe separating glitter from nail polish; rather, it explains how to remove glitter nail polish from nails. To remove glitter nail polish, you can use the soak-and-foil method.
Here's how to remove glitter nail polish using the soak-and-foil method:
- Saturate a cotton ball: Soak a cotton ball with nail polish remover (acetone is most effective for glitter).
- Apply to nail: Place the saturated cotton ball directly onto the glitter nail polish on your nail.
- Wrap with foil: Wrap a piece of aluminum foil tightly around your finger, securing the cotton ball in place.
- Soak: Let the foil-wrapped finger soak for about 5 minutes.
- Remove with pressure: After soaking, apply slight pressure and gently wiggle the cotton ball to remove most of the glitter polish.
This method doesn't separate the glitter for reuse, it just removes the entire glitter nail polish mixture from your nails. If you want to separate the glitter from the polish completely for reuse, that's a more complicated chemical process and not typically done at home. Generally, if glitter nail polish is no longer wanted, the whole mixture is discarded.
