Do You Wear Nail Polish Every Day?

There was a time in my life when my nails were always painted. It was around my mid-uni years, when I was in my early 20s and looking back; evidently had a lot of free time in the evenings.

Now I'm not talking about flash nail art (that was only during the times I'd stump up the cash for a professional to do them) but I'd always make sure my nails had a pristine coat of polish on them.  It made me feel put together, even when I was less than!

I'm not sure what changed, you'd think working in the industry I do, my nails would still be cared for.  Alas, I look down at my typing digits to see bare naked nails.  To be completely honest, they're not even neat, I mean seriously Nat, is it really that hard to pull out an emery board once a week?!

And let's not even start on my toe nails.  Although to be fair, it's not sandal season yet and I've always lumped toe nail painting in the same category as leg shaving.  It's a Summer thing, unless you know they're going to be on show. 

I think, as much as I detest the time-poor excuse, for me, my nail painting, or lack there of, really does come down to time.  At least in the sense that I'd rather spend that 10 minutes doing something else.  Maybe even nothing at all.  And when you spend 10 minutes putting nail polish on, you're commiting time in the future to remove it!

Well we've found what might be the fastest - and easiest way to remove nail polish.

The Manicare Moisturising Nail Polish Remover Pads offer a quick and convenient way to remove nail polish.  No more spilling liquid removers, or searching the house for a cotton pad to use with it!  These pads effectively remove nail polish while brightening the nail and moisturising the skin around it.  And of course - they're acetone free!

We're looking for reviewers to put these pads to the test and report back!

If you'd like a spot on this trial team, why not chat to us below.  Are you the type of lady whose nails are always painted and neat?  Or, like me, are they just left a little neglected?  How do you usually remove your nail polish?  Or do you commit the ultimate polish sin and rock chipped and peeled colour for weeks?!

These sound exactly like what I need, recently my usual nail polish remover ran out so I went looking in the cupboard to see if was any around, found one, however wished I didn't use it, it smelt so strong and the fumes were awful. Even after washing my hands later I could smell the fumes for hours, never again! I like the idea of these and the product already been on the cotton pad than having to go searching for some cotton wool to use with a nail polish remover would love to try and review them :)

I had been scratching it off or Painting over it untill today I had to go to the two dollar shop because my daughter grabbed the bottle while I was painting today and put polish on the carpet!

I wear nail polish every day, and usually switch up my nail polish every second day (I work business hours and it's my calming evening activity, plus I have over 100 polishes so I want to get my money's worth). Once my polish chips, I endeavour to change it. And I change it (rather than simply remove it) because at this point my nails are quite stained despite usually applying basecoat.

I have been thinking lately about how quickly I go through my cheap nail polish remover, and how unhealthy it must be (for both my nails and me overall), so I would love to give these pads a go. I wonder if they are as effective a regular bottle remover. The packaging looks cute but I feel like the pads I've used in the past were pretty rubbish... would love these to prove me wrong.

I don’t wear nail polish. I really miss it . In my job I can’t wear nail colour.

I love to paint my nails, but they never last very long and they get chipped and runied by the next day and some times its too much effort to grab the polish remover find a cotton pad and remove it so I always rock chipped nails for far too long. So would love to try these out, they might just save me the embarrassment of constantly being the chipped nail lady ;) xx

I don’t usually wear dark or bright coloured polish... but i do wear nail protector / nail growth teatment instead as my nails tend to bend and chip quite easily hahaha ... still trying hard to make them grow.

Wow coconut scented nail polish remover.. these sound fantastic.. love having painted nails but do hate the smell and the hassle of some polish removers.. would love to try these pads..

I wear nail polish a lot - my collection keeps on growing! I am guilty of letting it chip off, so that I just have random patches of polish left, before I finally remove it with a cotton makeup pad dipped in nail polish remover. These nail polish remover pads sound super handy!

Guilty.....my nails are always painted. I remove old polish every Sunday and put on a different shade. I have a big box full of nail polish bottles. I normally use a liquid remover, but sometimes use oil infused wipes. Can review these remover pads and give feedback on a comparison with wipes as well as liquid cleaners.

I love manicare products, it's such a trusted brand. I enjoy wearing nail polish, but I'm a little slack at finding time to remove it once it gets a bit drab. Currently rocking Sinful Shine Kommando. These would be great for my handbag or car. I'd love to try them out please :) thank you.

I remember a time I wore polish every day and then I got eczema on my hands and I had to be careful. I'd love to wear polish more often but with the itchy, eczema rash on my hands I can't irritate it further with polish and polish remover. When it's warm enough for me to spend my waking hours without socks on and the chilblains have healed I'm going to rock some nicely polished toenails. But sadly since I have sensitivity issues I tend to neglect my nails, I'm a bit lazy with the nail filing as well.

I used to always have perfect nails as soon as I couldn’t fix the chips I’d just repaint shoebox full of polish. Now I find the polish never last as long and I struggle to have long enough to paint them well the painting bit is fine it’s more the waiting to dry that’s the problem. By interested to see how well on glitter or the home gel polished they make these days

Maybe I am old, but no, I don’t ALWAYS go out with nail polish on. Now I feel guilty! Lol

I wear nail polish summer and winter on my toenails as I go to the local pools thrice weekly and my toes feel naked with no polish. I usually take my polish off the usual way, with liquid remover and cotton wool but these pads look so much easier to use.

I love to have painted nails. Although lately I have been slack because i really cant be bothered getting out the remover and cotton balls. I would love to give these pads a try.

I often go out with bare nails too. It takes me forever to paint them right and they chip so fast.

And I hate it when you get them looking perfect and then the phone rings or something, and you actually have to use your hands while trying to dry your nails super quick! Haha. The trials we women go through eh?
