Supplies: Base and top coatTwo or more polishes (I'm using ones from the same colour family, but that's not necessary)A makeup sponge Step 1: Apply your base coat.

5 minutes nail polish removal tutorial. Disclaimer: I am definitely recommending this method. I do not claim this as my own. I learnt it from Deborah Lippmann so I'll recognise her as the original source. However, the true origin of this amazing 5 minutes method is yet to be discovered.
