So today, my new nail polish arrived (NYC Park Ave) and I was dying to try it, but I only had a tiny bit of a crappy (Cutex Acetone Free) nail polish remover left, so I had to make a Tesco run. I'll give Tesco credit in the fact that they had a pretty good selection - Own brand, Cutex, Remover pads or Elegant Touch.
I picked up the Elegant Touch Super Strength because I've got their Rapid Dry Spray and I liked that, so I figured this would probably be pretty good quality too.
The one thing I absolutely HATE about doing my nails is taking my polish off. I love putting it on, I love wearing it, but taking it off is a ball ache of epic proportions. It usually involves 2-3 soaked cotton wool pads, a ton of nail polish remover, stinging, sore fingers and a room stinking of the stuff.
But this, this is the Holy Grail of removers. This would come to a desert island with me (in a bag full of everlasting nail polish with an unlimited supply of cotton wool). I won't use another nail polish, ever. Never ever.
Why? Because it removed my nail polish in one wipe. Not a scrub, not a hold on your nail for a minute and wipe, INSTANTLY. It must have some sort of dark magic behind it, because I've never seen anything like this. The bottle says it contains Panthenol - maybe that's code for Voodoo, I'm not sure - all I know is that it works, my nails didn't go dry afterwards and my house doesn't stink.
Another thing I absolutely love about it is the bottle - the opening isn't just your normal open top, it has a teeny little hole in the middle of what would usually be the circle of spillage. You can tip it onto your cotton wool pad and give it a gentle squeeze, and you get a tiny bit out. One 2cm circle of remover did all my nails and touched them up after I'd re-painted them.
All the awards go to this nail polish remover.
So it must be super expensive, right? Wrong. £2.10/200ml in Tesco. Very affordable, will last a long time, works really well and is easy to apply.
I love it.
Available to buy from Tesco Stores or from NailPolishDirect.co.uk (£2.99/200ml)
