I love this little pot of time-saving and life-saving as I am so bad at removing my nail polsih properly and end up picking at my nails which is not very good considering that this year my resolution was to grow longer, healthy nails so I have to stop that bad habit.
I grabbed this pot from a farmers whilst on holiday as I didn't want to bother with the whole remover and cotton pad so thought I would give it a go. It worked so well in fact it was better at removing then the normal method.
It reads it only lasts for up to 5 removals but I have been using for the last 3 months and it still does it, even with glitter polish. Ok the sponge on the inside is a little flakey now and the remover liquid has turned a dark murky colour but it still works, I feel I should get another one to replace it but it still works and has not stained my fingers or dried my nails out so I can continue being lazy for now.
I love these nail polish removers in a pot. this pot is a bit smaller than others, but it fits my fingers (one at a time) and that is the main thing. The sponge inside is saturated with nail polish remover and I got mine at my local pharmacy. there were 3 types, one was acetone free, I cant remember what the other one was, and the one with the pink lid was the one I got. fairly standard stuff I thought. The lid doesn't always feel like it's done on completely, but it must do as I have used and reused this several times and there is always plenty of product. when you are ready to remove your polish, simply dunk your finger in the sponge, twist a couple of times & remove. this is especially handy for those times you do great polish application on the majority of your nails, but one just mucks up. you can easily remove that polish without compromising the other perfect nails. As usage goes on, the sponge will eventually deteriorate a bit, and then you know its time to replace. I found the sponge does deteriorate faster than other options.
Tips: like with other nail polish removers, glitter will take more time and twisting.
