Calling all my frugal fashionistas! For this weeks Beauty On A Budget Series I want to discuss one of my favorite ways to save money on cosmetics, and that with my homemade Nail Polish Remover!
What so cool about this remover? It’s made of just one tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and a 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch! That’s it! This blend is natural, easy on hands, is acetone-free, and works just as well as any commercial brand. I can make a 20 ounce bottle, a years worth of remover for $0.50! I polish my nails weekly, and find that one bottles lasts nearly a year, and compared to the $12.00 I spent annually in previous years, this is a beauty secret I will be continuing! As this product is acetone-free, there is no peeling as well. I keep my remover in the fridge in the warmer months to prevent the starch from separating, and its good to go on all fronts! Be sure to try this method for removing nail polish, and see how awesome saving money can be! Enjoy!
