Instant Nail Polish Remover

Pretty Quick Instant Nail Polish Remover - £2.50 (Boots - here)

My mum picked this up when she went into town the other day after we were shown a similar product at the clothes show. The idea behind this product is genius (I feel I should start a feature after my face masks post!). It makes the whole process of taking off your nail varnish, which I find annoying and tedious, very very quick. You do just what it says on the tub - dip your finger in and twist. That simple and your nail varnish is gone. You may need to dip it once more if there are little dregs of it near your cuticle but that's not really a hassle. 

While this is very time saving, I have found a couple of things I'm not completely happy with but they're quite minor. The first is the smell - please note - the one I linked you to at the top is the acetone free one, mine is not acetone free - it is very very strong. I found it very over powering, more so than the nail varnish pads I'm used to but that is to be expected as this is liquid remover into sponge but never the less I still found it noticeably strong. Therefore I definitely suggest trying to find the acetone free one, I will be doing this in the future. The second thing is that on the nails I left in quite long or dipped again after my nail varnish going wrong it has left some white-ish patches. It's hardly noticeable and all painted over now. As this is the first of these products I've owned I don't know if it is because of the product or if this is to be expected with acetone maybe? If anyone can shed some light, please feel free!

Overall however, I do really like this product and am definitely going to carry on using it and try some others on the market. It really does reduce the time, and mess of remover pads/cotton wool. I can put up with the smell for the ease and speed of the result but as I said, I'm definitely going to get an acetone free one next time. 

Above is a short video of the product in action - I will say that it is much easier with two hands so one can hold the pot still but as mine was busy holding the camera I had to make do!

Also - just a tip. Look to see if you have any cuts/scratches on your fingers before dipping! (sense the tone of regret).

Have you tried this or something similar?
