So. I asked my flatmate to borrow some nail polish remover because my nails were looking like trolls; my flatmates are the best, so of course she lent me some. I feel bad taking advantage of my flatmates' kindness and always borrowing their stuff, so it was much to my chagrin that I realized I had no means of applying the varnish remover to my nails. I didn't have cotton pads or Kleenex or anything like that. It was a pickle in the truest non-fruit sense of the word.
This is a relatively common situation; having one thing but not the other. And usually when I set out to remove my nail polish, it's because the situation is dire. I was too proud to ask my flatmate for cotton pads (and as it would later be revealed, she didn't have any to begin with). Here's what I did:
I MacGyvered a tampon into a casual cotton pad for my nail polish. I don't know if this actually saves money... Without doing any research, I'm going to say yes, yes it does save money. Tampons range in absorbency and come in packs of like 24. Cotton pads pale in comparison on all fronts.
For the most effective results you have to get real up close and personal with the tampon. Dissection is necessary for maximum benefit. You can get at least 3 uses out of these bad boys, there's no telling what could be achieve if you are working with the ultra super variety. Just sayin'. Just floating it out there. Never have to spend money on cotton pads again...
