Manicare Nail Polish Remover Pads Review

I received this in the We Love Nail Best Ever Beauty Box. I thought it's addition was a good idea since if you're a beginner at some point you're going to need to take off the polish. For starters the pot is good in that it doesn't leak which is important since it's handy for traveling. The formula for this polish remover is different than what I have come across in the past the polish remover solution seems oily and leaves a bit of a residue on your nails after you have wiped off the polish, however the residue isn't drying which is good. One pad seems to remove most of the polish on one hand depending on how many coats of polish I have on. I usually need to take a second pad and remove the remaining polish after the first initial pad. I haven't tried it with glitter or textured polish so I don't know how well it removes those. It doesn't have an exceptionally strong scent like most polish removers. I wouldn't say it's a nice coconut scent but it's a better scented polish remover than what I normally use. The only con I can think of with this is that compared to a regular bottle of nail polish remover this is more expensive for the amount. Still it doesn't cost too much and if I were traveling I would consider having these handy.

Hands up for Manicare for bringing us a nail polish removing product minus the mess and fuss. I first purchashed one of these at Farmers and have since become a devotee when it comes to removing my polish because they make the process so quick and easy.

The packaging is secure and small enough to keep a few of them around. I like to keep one of these in my travel bag for when my polish chips and I want to remove it, because it's soooo much more convenient than lugging around cotton pads and a bottle of polish remover. You also get the added bonus of knowing it's not going to leak on you (been there, done that).

Performance-wise the pads work well at removing standard polish in an easy swipe, but they do struggle with special effect polish such as OPI Liquid Sand or glitter polish. It takes a bit more work to remove them but the Manicare pads do get there in the end. Afterwards you have an oily residue left on your nails and hands but it isn't unpleasant and smells fine.

Would I purchase again? Definately!

At first I was a bit apprehensive about using these remover pads (i received them in a BBBE). I normally use regular acetone free nail polish remover and was unsure how these remover pads would work. However I love using them! They are quick and easy to use and don't dry out your nails and cuticles.

The pads are similar to the round Colton makeup remover pads you buy. The are already pre soaked in the remover solution. I find that one pad is enough to use for one hand. I also love that these remover pads don't have the strong acetone smell!

The solution it's soaked in is oily. Which is odd for me as I've never used an oil based nail polish remover. However it breaks down the polish easily and the polish comes off within a couple of swipes. Because of the oily texture, it hydrates your nails and cuticles and doesn't leave them dry like normal nail polish remover would.

Even though these are more expensive than a bottle of normal nail polish remover I would definitely buy these again because they don't dry out your cuticles and isn't as harsh as acetone (even when you use the acetone free version). I would definitely recommend these.

I ordered these remover pads (the floral ones) from the BR Beauty Vault. There are 32 in the small container that can fit in my palm. The pads themselves are thinner than I thought they would be, but still hold quite a lot of the nail polish remover liquid. One pad was enough to remove the nail polish from all of my toes! (Though admittedly I have quite small toes.) The best thing about this product is that it doesn't stink! I was preparing my self on opening for a concentrated smell of turps that come with most nail polish remover, but not from these! Though there is a light floral smell and a little chemically-ness it is no where near as pungent as any other polish remover I've used. Plus, because there are so many pads in such a small container, it'll be great for going on holiday with if I get the urge to do my nails.

I got these nail polish remover pads in the 'We Love Nails' beauty box.

They come in a cute tin with red flowers on the lid, that looks like something more soft and sweet than you'd normally associate with nail polish remover.

I don't like anything strong or smelly, and the primary ingredient in most nail products gives me migraines so I tend to steer away from polishes, polish remover, and, now it also turns out, nail strengthener.

Anyhoo, after trying out the strengthener I needed to remove it so gave these remover pads a try.

The first pleasant surprise was the nice mild scent they have, and nothing smelly or irritating (I got the floral scent). The second surprise was that they removed the strengthener very thoroughly and easily - brilliant.

I completely recommend these to anyone who likes painting their nails but doesn't like the smelly removers. The extra bonus is that they are easy to transport, with no chance of spillage.

If I was putting anything on my nails I would most certainly purchase these for removal.

There are several things I like about these. There are plenty of them in the pack. They don't drip and you can safely carry them in your handbag. They effectively remove nail polish (glitter polish always takes more effort). I can remove one hand of polished nails with one pad, making them cost effective. They have a pleasant smell, so can be used anywhere without offending too many people. I like to keep a pack in my drawer at work. There are two slight downsides. Fingers are left feeling quite sticky/oily (basically icky for me) and so I always wash them with soap after using. It is very difficult to just remove one nail of polish without destroying the polish on the hand holding the pad - could get around this by using a glove though.

I love these things. I love that the kids can remove their own polish without fear of spilling my good OPI remover all over the place!

They smell good - as good as remover is going to - don't go deliberately sniffing though as I'm sure it's not good for you!

Nail polish is removed easily with one wipe, maybe two depending on the colour.

My container stays sealed and the wipes have not dried out at all.

My only problem is that you need to use a regular remover to remove the oiliness if you are going to re polish your nails straight away. If you are leaving them bare then it is good and they are nice and nourished looking.

I got these in the nails BBBE and was so impressed! They're coconut scented and smell so much better than regular nail polish remover which I hate the smell of. One wipe was enough to get rid of all my (granted, very chipped) nail polish and it doesn't feel toxic at all. I'll definitely be buying these again!

I received these in coconut scented, in the nails BBBE.

I wonder if the packaging of the particular one that I got happened to be faulty, because the lid doesn’t screw on firmly. It’s enough to keep the container sealed, but it’s not air-tight, which I feel that it should be to prevent the wipes from drying out. However i’m not sure that it’s an issue..

The scent of these wipes is nothing like regular toxic smelling nail polish remover, it’s a sweet yummy scent, and is very fragrant.

The wipes are very thin and very oily. They do the job well, one wipe is enough to do 3 nails, therefore there’s enough wipes for around 10 uses. They leave behind a lot of oiliness, so they’re very hydrating for your nails and cuticles. It feels that they are actually good for your nails, unlike traditional nail polish remover.

I’m likely to get some more of these, I like the compact packaging, they're pleasant to use and do the job effectively, and they’re affordable.

I received a pack of these in my we love nails box and boy I'm glad I did. I'm not sure how but I had never heard of these before but I'm so glad I now know they exist. The pack is small and great to chuck in the handbag or for travelling. They have a pleasant smell unlike normal nail polish remover. It was a wee bit tricky getting just one out but I managed to remove the polish off all ten nails with just the one pad which was great. I had two coats on plus glitter and top coat. I was extremely impressed that it removed even the glitter polish without too much difficulty. They also left my nails moisturized and not dry like some removers do. I will definitely be buying these again as they are just so convenient and easy to use.
