Nail Polish Remover Jar

Can't be bothered to take your nail polish off? I know the feeling! We all know how much I love my jars and so when I saw this idea I was desperate to make one! 

If you've ever seen those pots that claim to take your nail polish off in 1 second, you'll know what I'm talking about. I have always wanted one but could never bring myself to spend £5 on a little pot with a sponge in it.

    

So guess what? I made my own!

Here's how I did it:

You will need:

Sponges (I got a pack of ten from TigerUK for 2 for £1)

Some Scissors

A Jar (again from TigerUK)

Some Nail Polish Remover (£1.30 at Sainsburys)

A Pen

A Ruler

Step One

Measure the length of your jar going up from the base to where you want your sponge to stop. Mine was 3.5cm. Measure this length on your first sponge and draw a small line.

Step Two

Cut your sponge to size and repeat with the second sponge.

Step Three

Push your sponges into your jar so they sit aroundthe edge, touching the sides.

Step Four

Your finger should fit in your jar nice and snug but if that is not the case, take your off cuts and squish them into the gap in the middle. If, like me, your sponges have a rough end, cut this off to create a smooth edge.

Step Five

Now you have your sponges in the jar, pour in some nail vanish remover. The amount does not have to be exact! Just make sure your sponge is soaked.

And there you have it! Just pop your finger into the jar and take it out to find your nail polish gone! Super fast, super easy and very practical!
