Manicare Nail Polish Remover Pads Review

This was another delight in the we love nails BBBE, I have used nail wipes in the past and loved them. Mainly because my bottles of nail polish remover would grow legs and walk over to the workshop never to be seen again and honestly why do you need nail polish remover in a workshop?

These come in a small white plastic tub with a screw top lid, with 32 wipes in the tub I was sceptical at how long these wipes would last.

Once I unscrew the lid I am hit by a floral fragrance and nothing about it says "nail polish remover" normally nail polish remover is so strong it strips the wallpaper or paint in the room too along with the nail polish.

I carefully peel out a wipe these are so so thin and all stick together in the tub and tricky to get out. I press the wipe on my finger for a few seconds then wipe. I love how easily and quickly the nail polish comes away from my nails it's like magic. My nails feel slightly moisturised afterwards too probably since the wipes contain vitamin E and being acetone free they don't leave my nails feeling dry and stripped.

I have only used these on standard nail polish and haven't yet tried it out on the glittery nail polishes. I usually have 2-3 coats of nail polish and sometimes a top coat and it just melts the nail polish away. The wipes are drenched in the remover so I can get 3-4 nails completely cleaned before getting a new wipe. I love these wipes and will be repurchasing when I run out. They are much better than the other brand I have tried.

Usually I would wait closer to the review date to place my review but I loved these babies so much I just had to review them early because my mind had already been blown.

So the things I look for in a nail polish remover, whether it be a pad or a liquid are - does it take the nail polish off well, does it smell strong of chemicals and most importantly does it strip my nails after removal?

So how did these remover pads score? 3/3 Baby.

These are amazing remover pads, not only do they take off the nail polish well (I used 1 pad to take off both hands - yes you heard me, 1 pad), but they are the best smelling ones and don't smell chemically as it has some nice scents in there. And holy heckaroo - my nails were moisturised and nourished and did not dry out afterwards. I re-applied new polish afterwards and it just glided on nicely.

I'm definitely going to be purchasing these and painting my nails more often because I was always put off painting my nails because of how stripped they felt (and looked).

I tried this out on several different colours throughout the week (a good opportunity to test whether my nail polish is still good to use too!) Even though the pads are quite thin they are strong enough to do the job properly. I could do all my fingernails with three pads but if it was only two layers of paint you could probably do both hands with one for each hand. That dryness you get from regular acetone, you don't get that using these pads but it still removes it all of the nail polish. I didn't even need to oil my cuticles afterwards to try and remedy the dryness I normally get which is a plus for me because I do my nails quite a bit and it means its one less thing to do. The smell was surprisingly quite pleasant especially compared to the regular stuff, no need to open the windows to air out the room afterwards, you could sit and clean you nails in your living room with these. I've done my nails so many times this week testing them out on different colours to remove, Blue, Red, Purple, Black Pearl and Glitter overcoats, it took it all off with no problems. Even after trialling there's plenty of pads left over so at such a good price and actually doing such a good overall job properly I think I'll be adding this to my bathroom cupboard. Would happily recommend to anyone

Anyone who has ever taken or wanted to take nail polish remover and cotton balls away with them knows how these could be so handy! When I went travelling earlier this year and left home without my nail polish remover. So I headed into my local pharmacy and found these. They were super handy. We were road tripping and I was in the passenger seat removing my nail polish! They did take a bit of a scrub to get the polish off but but were awesome. They didn't have that strong smell nail polish remover normally has and there was no risk of spillage. Now being back from holiday, I continue to use these and have them in my handbag always! Love this product!

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.

Love, love, LOVE the convenience factor and portability of these. They also smell less offensive than normal nail polish remover and all in all take up a 10th of the space. Each pad is saturated and I found I use less of these then I do cotton wool buds and regular remover. The solution is super effective, would highly recommend!!

Wow absolutely amazed with this product, I used my minnie mouse opi glitter nail polish on 3 nails to test as ended up having family stuff going on and work so didn't get to fully test but I already love it. I could get the glitter polish off so easily compared to trying to use nail polish remover and cotton balls and used 1 pad for 2 nails. And to have my hands feel smooth is great too, definitely want the coconut ones though as the floral seems to give me a headache which is a disappointment.

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.
