Sally Hansen Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover

Being a crazy Sally Hansen nail polish fan, I thought this nail polish remover would be equally as amazing. Acetone free sounded good to me because i don't want to be doing more damage to my nails that already suffer from being in water frequently and farm life so using harsh nail polish removers is like adding insult to injury.

The bottle is on the smaller side at 150ml, the smell isn't so in your face, take your breath away as some other nail polish removers it definitely has that smell but not as potent.

The removal power though isn't as good, it takes me lots of swipes and soaking per nail and that is just removing 2 coats of gel polish and 1 of top coat.

Afterwards though my nails feel healthy and don't feel as rough or dry, compared to when I use standard nail polish remover. Overall being patient is worth it to have healthy feeling nails ready for the next coat of nail polish.

I bought this when I had acrylics, as I was told it wasrreally gentle and perfect to use on them. I like changing my polish regularly so I thought this would be perfect. It's great in that it definitely does remove your polish (l was worried an acetone free formula wouldn't be hefty enough), it also doesn't sting or dry out my skin as much, so that's a plus from me, and I have actually continued to use it for natural nails, but not acrylics. It left the top all gooey and sticky and removed the shiney finish. I wasn't impressed, having said that, they weren't the best acrylics so maybe that's why.

Sally Hansen Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover, is one of the best on the market that is acetone free, some brands struggle to get the strength without using acetone to remove all traces of nail polish in a few wipes.

Acetone free means that it is safe to use on natural nails as well as acrylics so that comes in handy for when I am on a girly phase and have applied some acrylics as I still like to switch up my colours regularly but don't want to have to weak acrylics.

Affordable and in an easy to use bottle, with a low odour makes for a great remover that works.

This nail polish remover is definitely not for me. It did a pretty shocking job of removing my nail polish- it seemed to take forever, and involved the use of what seemed like an insane amount of product.

This nail polish remover also really dried out my nails- something that has never happened when I have used remover in the past. It may just be a coincidence, but in the days following my first use of this product my nails began to split and peel; something they haven't done in a long time.

I also really didn't like the smell, it was really over-powering and seemed to stink out the whole room even though I had some windows open.

I am a big fan of Sally Hansen products, but this one really doesn't live up the quality I have come to expect from this brand.

I have the blue one for artificial and sensitive nails. I like that this is reasonably priced and free of acetone and doesn’t have as strong smell like some other nail polish removers I used before. This gets the nail polish off easily. I with some elbow grease and a cotton pad soaked in this I can almost remove the nail polish off ten nails but for ease I like to use three, one per hand and the third to get off any remaining polish. I find the bottle lasts me a long time too. I’m on my third or fourth bottle and will repurchase.

First impressions : Honestly the colour of the bottles have always put me off a bit, why is it bright orange? I guess, why not? hah Putting my weirdness aside I bought this after using the acetone version. I wanted to use something a little less harsh.

Product Like most bottled remover I find it really awkward to use without accidentally spilling it once it's used past the point where you can easily dip a q-tip into it. I don't like using cotton buds but it would probably make my life easier. I like the child proof cap although sometimes it can be a pain when you are mid painting your nails and need to do clean ups as it's almost impossible to open one handed so you risk messing up your nails just opening it. (But safety certainly is more important especially with children in the home). Smell wise it's hideous but i'm yet to find a liquid remover that isn't. I do like remover pads because you aren't inhaling nasties but they are far less economical.

Effectiveness : I find it's generally pretty good. I have to work extra hard with glitters but I am yet to find a remover that can easily remove them. It does dry your fingers a bit but I always apply moisturiser afterwards so not a big deal.

Overall : I will use up my current bottle and may then try another brand just for experiments sake but I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

I purchased this as I have issues with my nails peeling and splitting and thought an acetone-free formula would be less drying and therefore keep my nails in a nicer condition and help prevent splitting and peeling.

I found this removed my polish just as effectively as my normal acetone based polish remover which is great but unfortunately it did nothing for the condition of my nails and surrounding skin. Using this didn't help with the splitting or peeling of my nails, but in saying that it still did the job so I don't hate it.

It's still an affordable option and does what it's meant to so I wouldn't be against using it in the future, but for now I think I will stick to my health basics removers (also available in both acetone and acetone-free formulas).

I really like this nail polish remover, as it doesn't leave my skin around my nails feeling as dry as some others. It does a really good job of removing polish for an acetone free remover, but you do need to use quite a bit to remove the darker colours. All nail polish removers seem to smell horrible, and this one is just as bad unfortunately.

The child-proof lid is a pain to use, as it is ridiculously hard to open, especially in the middle of the nail painting process! The bottle is also quite irritating, as unless you use cotton balls it's sooooo easy to spill everywhere!

Other than those things, the remover itself is good to use and I will probably keep using it.

I bought this with my farmers beauty points (don't you just love them) and was a little disappointed. One, I think it took too long for the nail polish to be removed, especially glitter. And two, it made my surrounding skin feel dry. I like that it's Acetone-Free but I will probably stick to the health basic brand.

This nail polish remover does get rid of nail polish pretty efficiently but you have to use quite a bit. I had to soak a cotton ball and then press it over my nails for a few seconds for best removal. The smell isn't as bad as some of the other removers I've tried so that's a plus. And it's also nice that it's relatively gentle on your nails.
