Manicare Nail Polish Remover Pads Review

Even tho this product is non messy. I didn’t enjoy using this to take of my nail polish, didn’t seem to remove all my nail polishes as fast or easily as a cotton ball does for myself.

Definitely will try this product again but not until I run out of my cotton wall

I had used nail polish pads before so I anticipated these ones to work the same.

They come in a handy container which would be ideal for travel, upon opening the fragrance is so yummy - I brought the limited edition pineapple crush, soooo good!)

The paper thin pads can be a little difficult to get out so if its polish on your toes you are removing be prepared to loose polish on your fingernails while trying to separate them as they are stuck together very well.

Perhaps its my nail polishes that fight with the removal but 1 pad takes so long to remove even one nails worth. Once the polish is removed there is a film left on my nail - again this could be my polish but its time consuming and not what Im use to with liquid remover.

Theses pads do smell great and don't dry out cuticles and nails but the time and effort for removal is too much for me, so I wont be purchasing this brand again.

I paint my nails regularly and have used different forms of removers.

I have a particular penchant for the nail wipe, as I find it quite fiddly and splashy to use bottled remover and cotton pads.

The dip remover pottles are also good but it gets a little funky in there after a while- yuck!

These Manicare Nail Polish Remover Pads (limited edition) are a bit of a letdown, compared to the cheaper nail wipes I usually use.

The pads (32 in pottle)are damp with polish remover, like other nail wipes, and you just swipe over polish and, to Manicare's credit, they remove polish instantly (I use gel or ordinary polish, can't vouch for glitter etc).

It is difficult to gauge whether the extreme post-pad nail dryness of these wipes is a result of good stuff settling (Vitamin E, nail-brightening serum) or damage occurring. They purport to be moisturising and gentle -not my impression. They were definitely not brighter.

The scent is overpowering and hard to pinpoint. I would rather have a coconut or light fruit scent than the dusty-potpourri stink these wipes put out.

Visually, the product label is very busy with information and pattern. I prefer a simpler, sleeker packaging. It looks low-end with the white plastic tub, despite the attempts to look upmarket by employing a Bec & Bridge print.

These are fine but I wouldn't buy them if I could get a cheaper option ($4.99 rrp is fine but I've found cheaper, more effective pads/wipes).

Bought these to try instead of nail polish remover. Eventhough the thin pads are well saturated i had to hold them on my toes and wipe quite vigorously to remove the nail polish and the fact the pads felt quite greasy i didn't like them. I will keep for convenience and use them up when i go away but wont buy them again as prefer a good old cotton wool pad and nail polish remover from a bottle.
