Do you ever finish painting your nails only to look down at your toes and realize $%&@! they need some help too?
And there you are, with freshly painted nails, unable to then dip a cotton ball into your remover and get to work on your toes. So you search around your apartment for rubber gloves, then realize you’ve never cleaned anything enough to warrant owning rubber gloves. Then you consider stuffing your hands into ziploc bags and attempting to remove the polish that way. But the thought of doing that becomes so exhausting that you just slip your feet back into closed toed shoes and vow to remember to get your toes first next time.
No? Never?
THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME.
Then one day, everything changed. I opened up a brand new bag of cotton balls to find a little rubber disk inside. Are they putting toys in the bottom of cotton ball bags now?
Upon closer inspection (and reading of the bag) I realized that this strange rubber thing was a COTTON BALL HOLDER. No more “oh $%&@! my toes!” moments!
It does take a second to get the hang of how exactly you should be holding it for optimal removal, but it is really, seriously genius. The best thing I ever found in a bag of cotton balls…you know, besides cotton balls…

They look like rubber nipples!!!! LOL so funny!!!!!! Like those things stars use to cover their nips when they use super sheer dresses
OMG that is the highlight of my week. I needed this and I hate when you just want to fix one finger and end up messing up the others.

I have totally had that problem! I’ll be looking for one of these now!
This is like life changing, no joke. This always happens and then I think- well, what pair of shoes can I wear that hide my toes and I’ll redo everything tomorrow. Haha. Awesome!

Brilliant idea indeed. But even more brilliant, the Instant Nail Polish Remover from Sephora (http://www.sephora.com/instant-nail-polish-remover-P297134?skuId=1350263)
This one has been a true lifesaver countless times and is definitely part of my ‘top10 products I could never live without’ list!
J’avais jamais vu ça, c’est génial!

Hi Alex ;)
I must say I love reading your posts on beauty and today, I just burst into laughs (correct expression ?) !
The plastic bag issue is the kind of issue NO-ONE would ever talk, too ridiculous but so laughing !
Thank you, this was my first laugh of the day (bad day :€)
XO !
That is brilliant! It totally happens to me too :) Haven’t seen anything like that in NZ though…
Awesome tip, thanks so much!! Will definitely get one!
I have a lot of “oh $%&@! my toes!” moments!… I want that in Buenos Aires pleeasee!
C’est effectivement une idée géniale je l’admets. Si un jour je tombe sur ce truc alors je le prendrai avec moi.
One could actually buy a baby bottle or look for the old ones lost in a cupboard, take out the rubber “nipple” and use it for this purpose, right?
J’adore le concept ! Vite, il m’en faut un :)
xx.
Hahaha mais trop il m’arrive tout le temps la même chose! Bien sur ça n’existe pas en France! Tu devrais penser à importer :)
Vogue.com’s The Sunday Spill feature always has the best ideas for polish!
Il fallait y penser !

Un autre truc qui marche bien aussi et c’est moins riqué : utiliser en “pince à coton” une bonne vieille pince à épiler ! On peut imbiber le coton en boule ou en disque comme il faut et démaquiller ses petons (même insister dans les petits coins) sans abimer sa manucure !
So simple o/
All I saw was nail polish andI clicked. But this is a great idea. I would love if they had something small and wedge shaped for fixing edges…
Before starting on my nails, I set out a small selection of q-tips, and I pour some nail polish remover into the bottle’s cap so when I need to fix my polish (hands and/or feet), I can easily grab a q-tip with hands that have wet nails, dip the q-tip in the polish, and do a quick clean up.
thus no need for cotton balls :)
Again: OMG!!! How did I miss this post? Came here right now via the soft feet skin post. This is so life saving. Always feel the same, Alex. I’ll definitely repost this.
