Swisspers Nail Polish Remover Pads Review

I picked this up on a whim one day as I used to wear a lot of nail polish, but I dislike how messy the bottle and cotton pad method is - this seemed so much more convenient!

The screw-top tub is easy to use and a lot less bulky than a bottle for when travelling which is where I like to take these with me. Nothing worse than chipped nails when you're on holiday!

The pads are easy to use and the smell of the remover isn't as strong as some other types. They easily remove standard nail polish without a fuss, although they struggled when it comes to my glitter or liquid sand polishes which cause the pad to break up.

I do find these quite pricey when you compare how much a small bottle of nail polish remover and some cotton pads are so I probably wouldn't repurchase full price, but I would if they were on special.

I found these wee beauts at the supermarket and they were cheap less than $5 and u thought they were a great idea because somehow my nail polish remover grows legs and walks (I have a sneaky suspicion it ends up in the workshop!) so I thought these wouldn't disappear.

They come in a white plastic tub with a screw top lid. The pads are very thin like a very thin wet wipe so I was sceptical at first but they are like magic swipe it across a few times and your done I managed to get both hands done with 1 wipe. This is just on normal nail polish. Glitter polish is a completely different story and it's easier to use the liquid nail polish remover, the glitter is hard to remove and rips the pads.

Overall though I like this for removing (normal) nail polish it doesn't have that real potent nail polish remover smell to it, it's quite pleasant and has a kind of floral scent. it leaves my nails feeling conditioned and nice.

These come packaged in a little screw top container that seals well, preventing leaks. Although the container isn't huge in size (think slightly bigger than a Vicks jar) it could be a bit smaller as the pads themselves only seem to half fill the container (this is probably from settling). They don't have the typical scent associated with nail polish remover, instead they smell kind of sweet and florally. They aren't the best at removing nail polish, it takes a bit more effort to clean off your nails than a typical remover but in saying that they are handy for on the go and they don't dry your nails out as much. I find that they leave an almost oily feeling layer over my nails which is probably what helps to moisturise them and is easily wiped off.

Overall I'm not sure that I'd purchase them unless they were on sale for a good deal. I got mine in a Swisspers gift pack otherwise it's a product I probably wouldn't have gone out and purchased myself.

I have been given several of these as part of a Swisspers gift pack. I think the idea of these is great - a cotton round pre-soaked with nail polish remover, like a makeup wipe for nail polish. It's a great convenience for travel, but unfortunately for me the convenience factor does not outweigh their poor performance compared to traditional methods.

The tub has 36 cotton rounds pre-soaked in remover. There is a lot of dead space in the tub, which annoys me as they specifically market this product as good for travelling. The wipes themselves are quite thin and it can be hard to just peel off one at a time. I've noticed that the pads can easily take some colour off while trying to get one out - for this reason I would not recommend them for toe nail polish removal if you have colour on your fingers.

I find that while these do take the polish off, it often requires quite a bit of work. I don't find them to have enough of the remover to be really effective. Especially as this is a travel product, I would expect them to be super quick and convenient. I prefer traditional polish removal methods and will probably not repurchase these.

These are probably better suited to someone who travels a lot and goes to the trouble to remove and reapply their polish while travelling. I'm not one of those people sadly - I prefer a gel mani for longer trips, and filling my suitcase with new beauty buys.
