Manicare Nail Polish Remover Pads Review

This is the first time that I have used nail polish remover pads. I was very excited to receive this. I was sent the floral scented edition of this to review.

The pads number 32 and they come in a small, round, white plastic container branded with Manicare. The container has a screw-on lid, and beneath that a foil seal to prevent the product from drying out.

I tested these pads by using them to remove 3 coats of nail polish on my fingernails, which had badly chipped-off. The first 2 coats were of a bright blue polish, and the third coat was clear with glitter particles in it. It was the ultimate test because glitter polish is very hard to remove!

These nail polish remover pads passed with flying colours. I found that each hand only required 1 pad to remove all of the nail polish. The pads are damp with remover, but they are very gentle, and easy to work over the nails of each hand. The floral scent is pleasant, and much nicer than the traditionally very chemical smell of bottled nail polish remover. The pads also promise to be moisturising, and they were! It seemed almost like they had oil in them, as they left my nails feeling soft and moisturised, instead of dry like regular nail polish remover. They do say that they contain Vitamin E.

I love these! I think they are a brilliant idea for removing nail polish, and Manicare have done an excellent job in creating them.

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 use nail polish remover regularly so this was a great trial for me. They come in a cute little round container with a screw on lid which fits securely to stop them drying out, it holds 32 pads. It says floral scent which is quite subtle and definitely not stinky like normal nail polish remover.  They are quite wet which is great as they take little effort to use.

I had dark blue on my toenails so thought I would start with that, when I was removing the polish the pad split in 2 which was annoying, upon further inspection I realised I was using 2 wipes lol duh! The wipes are super thin so it is easy to do. The polish came off easily .

The big test for me was the silver glitter polish, I had trouble removing this last time, well I was quite blown away as it come off pretty easily. Awesome as now I can wear it more often and not worry about it not coming off. I find using 1 pad for each hand works well.

The last test I did was on black polish, once again it came of with ease, no harsh rubbing and no damage to my nails.

These pads are really great and so quick and easy to use. Don't have to worry about any spillage or stinky fumes. A very convenient way to remove nail polish. I would definitely purchase these once they run out.

I trialed the floral scent pads. These come in a little screw top container. I found the seal was quite hard to peal off, but at least with a decent seal they are not going to be dried out when you get them. The scent is not very strong in the container, but once used on your fingernails, it is quite a nice smell. I love the fact that they don't have that strong remover smell. I used these on the most stubborn nail polish I have. I found they removed it a little easier than other removers I have tried. Depending on how often you paint your nails or change the colour, these should last a while as I only needed one to do both hands. They left my nails looking shiny and feeling like they had been moisturized. These are perfect if you have children that like to paint/have their nails painted as they can remove it themselves without you worrying that they are going to spill remover everywhere. Miss 10 found these easy to use and not stinky (as she put it). These are a great size for travel etc. Will be purchasing these again.

These Manicare nail polish remover pads work really well. The pads come in a compact round tub with pack of 32 individually soaked wipes which is super handy to use and store in your handbag. I received the floral scented one and I must say these smell so much better than the regular acetone nail polish removers. Super easy to use without worrying about spilling remover on the bathroom sink or other surfaces. I found that one pad was enough to remove medium colored polish but I did need to use 2 for the really darker shades just to get the polish completely off and have my nails looking really clean. These claim to be gentle and moisturizing and that’s absolutely correct. My nails didn’t feel rough and dry after taking the polish off like my usual removers. For the pack size I feel that the price is affordable. Definitely a must in my bathroom cabinet from now on. A really good product.

Came in a nice small handy container. Took me awhile to open it, I used a knife to open,then I found the little tag to rip open. The smell was pleasant and you wouldn't even know that it was for removing polish. This product removed my polish quite well on myself but with my daughters old polish it took abit of a good scrubbing to remove. Overall I liked how it didn't have a strong smell was small enough to have in my handbag without worrying about leaking.

Upon opening, I got a pleasant light floral fragrance that wasnt overpowering like regular nail polish remover. As I have never used polish removing pads before, I cant compare to others but I found these to be easy to use and loved not having to worry about spilling a bottle of remover on the floor. The pads are very thin but efficiently removed the polish from my toes leaving them highly moisturised and not drying at all. I had 2 layers of regular polish on and used one pad per foot and a third one to make sure I got the last of the polish off both hands. These are very convenient to use and great to have in your handbag to use "on the go". I highly rate these and think they are good value for money and convenience

I love this product! It’s so easy to use and removes nail polish so easily. It also smells really nice, not like other nail polish removers. I also love that it’s not messy to use at all and it’s also great to travel with as you don’t have to worry about it leaking at all!

I loved trialling these nail polish remover pads! I have a few Manicare products that are favourites and hadn't tried these pads before!

The little container IS super cute. It had a lovely designer floral cover, and IS a handy size for travel and handbags when the chipped polish nails just have to go! It's also nice a nice size to sit in a cupboard/drawer rather than the big bottle of polish remover and a stack of cotton pads!

The scent of this one I trialled was floral and it definitely smelt more floral than the normal nail polish remover. It actually didn't smell like any polish remover I'd smelt before. It was also acetone free, which is fantastic as it's not as drying on nails or skin. I didn't have dried out cuticles after using this product - a big plus!

I tried this on my fingernails with just a couple of coats of polish and a top coat, and one pad would do one hand. With red polish it got a little messy, as the oily nature of the pads seemed to transfer to skin - BUT red polish is never pretty to remove, regardless of the removal product - so these pads removed it easily, and I used a second pad to clean up the colour left and they looked great. My nails didn't feel dried out, which was great. My nails did also appear brighter, which I think is the oils left from the remover on the nail, but they did look pretty and healthy after using these pads.

If you were to paint your nails straight away you'd want to wash your hands, or use an alcohol wipe of some sort to get rid of some of those moisturising oils in the product so the next mani lasted the distance.

I also tried these pads on my toes - with some fairly heavy glitter polish going on (4 weeks old too), and these pads did struggle a bit. I would normally use an acetone remover for glitter mani's as they're incredibly difficult to remove, so I wasn't expecting the pads to pack the same punch - but I wanted to try. It did remove some glitter, but it took a lot of work and a few extra pads to get the glitter off.

All up. I like them. I like the convenience of them - you don't have to have polish and cotton pads. You don't get the 'fluff' left behind like cotton pads can leave either. They smelt surprisingly pleasant and probably the least 'chemical' smelling of the many nail products I've tried.

On nails with just straight polish or a shimmer, these pads do a fantastic job at removing polish, with just one pad per hand/foot (maybe less if it's a light mani) and you're nails and cuticles won't feel dried out afterwards which is a big plus!

Thanks BR & Manicare for a fab product to review!

You get 32 pads that are saturated in nail polish remover. These come in such a cute container that will easily fit into your make-up bag.

I received the FLORAL SCENT as part of the trial (Thanks Beauty Review!) and I am really impressed with the subtlety of these, usually I use acetone removers and clear the room out.

As with any nail polish remover some polishes are easier to remove than others. I used a variety and found that the metallic ones took longer to remove whereas the glossy ones came off much easier. Just leave the pad on your nail a bit longer then rub off. I used 2 pads and my nails weren't left dry and I didn't feel the need to rinse them.
