Manicare Nail Polish Remover Pads

My nails are always painted. And generally I'll change my nails every two to three days, so I go through a lot of remover and cotton balls. I liked the idea of these, but I was extremely skeptical of these nail polish remover pads. I imagined I'd need about one per nail and that it would take all day to actually get all of the polish off. I vaguely remember using some in the past and they were an awful waste of time, so I really did expect this product to be gimmicky.

I couldn't have been more wrong. I used these on four separate occasions, and each time the process was easy and fast. I started off using it on a pale pink cream, and sort of wrapped the pad around my finger so that it was pressed into the nail and held it there for a bit like I would with a normal cotton ball. When I then started to rub, barely anything came off so I immediately thought 'uh oh, these are going to be a struggle'. But then I just started wiping my nails, and the colour came off pretty effortlessly. I only had to use two for the whole removal process (I'm sure I would have used at least 3 or 4 cotton balls).

The real test was a bright red. I was quite worried about staining my fingers and thought I'd be leaving heaps of polish in the corners/sidewalls and cuticles. Well. I did end up using four of the pads, but any colour that did transfer to my skin, the pads soaked up. And there was none left on my nails either. Incredible. It was quite interesting/awesome that you really can cover every tiny bit of the pad in colour, yet it doesn't spread it everywhere on your skin.

I loved that the smell was pleasant and not outright chemically, and I liked that it left my nails moisturised, although I still washed my hands immediately after as it just felt a bit weird leaving any remover lingering on my skin.

Not sure if the 'brightening serum' had a positive impact on my nails. To be honest I don't care one way or the other considering it did its basic job so well. It's certainly as good as or better than regular remover in terms of how it feels to use.

This product was such a winner for me. 32 pads will actually last a good while and I think the price will be really reasonable, plus it's going to be so convenient for trips away. The pads in the tub are still super moist and I expect that as long as you put the lid on after use they will stay that way for a long time. I absolutely would use again and I would even purchase the product myself (which is unusual for me!)

Tips: If you've messed up a nail, just swipe it across the pad that is top of the pile in the tub - that way you can get the colour off without ruining any of your other nails!

Super handy.

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!

Perfect for travel

These remover pads are so practical and work really well! They're saturated with enough nail polish remover to take even stubborn nail polish off (such as red!). They work much better than cheaper brands I've tried.

Tips: Because they're saturated with plenty of product they can get a little greasy and messy so have a box of tissues on hand to wipe your hands with.

Doesn't stink out the house!

I received these nail polish removal pads in my BBBE and tried them out straight away as I wanted to try the nail polishes I got. These pads work so well! I used 3 pads to remove the nail polish on both hands which was 2x coats of polish and 1x coat of clear. It wiped it away so easily and quickly. Usual nail polish remover smells out the house but these baby's smell like coconut - so good! Such good value for money with these, for sure will keep some on hand for quick, easy and mess free nail polish removal

Subtle Soft Wipes

I recieved this in my I love nails box. I've never tried these kind of nail wipes before. I have seen other brands selling similar kinds of wipes to these but never got the opportunity to try them out.

These wipes came in a fully sealeable container. This container is easy to open and close. Im so glad they weren't in a packet. This wipe is circular and thin. At first I took a big pile but realised that each wipe is paper thin. These wipes feel soft and smooth. Theres an oily consistency in this wipe . They smell like sweet coconut. It smells gentle.

With one wipe I can manage to remove nail polish on both my hands. These remove nail polish so easily. Im surprised that my nails haven't dried out. Instead this oily texture in this wipe has made my nails feel hydrated and smooth. It felt like my nails were being treated. I've never enjoyed removing my nail polish until now. It's a game changer for me.

After using these nail wipes I would happily buy these again. I believe its affordable. Its compact enough to take travelling. Theres no mess or additional products needed to use this. If only traditional nail polish liquid was like this. Overall a great product to have.

Too easy & no yucky smell

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.

Pleasant

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.

Smells so good!

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!

Nail polish gone and nails are left hydrated

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.

Quick and easy

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!
