Hi friends. All right. I wanted to record this loom because I can't be the only one dealing with this problem.

Did anyone else get their nails done for the offsite? Like gel nails, acrylic nails, dip, nails. And now you have to get them off.

Um, I'm trying to remove them before I like pick them off. So I found this hack on Google, Instagram, Pinterest.

I don't remember. Apparently we're going to see this word. You are going to heat up rice in a ball. Okay.

And then fill a baggy with a dryer sheet and acetone and soak them for five minutes and it's supposed to come right off.

So I was like, why not make this Allume we're going to call this Saturday night, Rosa ramblings. And um, I'm going to pause this and let's see how it works.

All right. My rice is heating up. It's supposed to microwave it for a minute, a cup of it, and then you get a baggy and you put a dryer sheet in it.

I don't know why. Um, and then you're supposed to pour acetone in here. All right. Ready? All right. Apparently first you're supposed to file your nails.

So that's step one. Alright. I've filed them. You're supposed to like remove the, a shiny part. So step one complete.

And now I'm going to get Vaseline to put on my cuticles to, um, protect them from the acetone. Let me go grab that.

Okay. This can not be healthy for you like breathing in hot acid. Um, but my nails are soaking in a bowl, um, with rice hot rice and then a baggy unit with a dryer sheet and ask usually, I don't know if you guys have ever had your nails removed before.

It takes like 15 minutes of having to soak them. They wrap them and like those like cotton balls and these fumes are not good.

Um, cotton balls and like tinfoil and it takes like 15, 20 minutes. So I'm hoping this will only take like five minutes.

That's what Pinterest promised me. And we all know Pinterest always tells the truth. So, um, I am going to Sophie's for another five minutes.

You can see my timer back there and I will report back to it. Okay, guys, it's been five minutes and I will never adopt Pinterest again.

Let me just show you, my nails are completely removed. I did not have to like scrape them, do anything, and they're not like damaged in the slightest life hack.

Try it out. Hope you enjoyed this edition of Saturday night, Rosie ramblings. And can we start like a new series where we test out Pinterest, Instagram hacks and share them with the ladies of bloom?

I would love that. Have a great weekend, everyone.
