NPW Vanilla Fragrance Nail Polish Remover Pads

How fun is nail polish!? Design, texture and color that you create to show your personality make it the perfect way to accessorize without having to spend a fortune. And, although it can be a pain to get perfect and the time it takes to dry can be unpleasant, I always find it worth it once it's on! But what about when the time comes to take it off!?? That's where nail polish remover comes in. There are so many products on the market, it can be a challenge to find what works best for you! So here's a review on NPW Nail Polish Remover Pads! Don't feel like reading the whole post? - Scroll to the bottom for condensed product details.



I purchased these remover pads from GAP, but they appear to be from a company called NPW. They retail for $2.99, and they were on sale so I figured I'd give them a try. As you can tell, these pads leave much to be desired. The pads are thin, and small and must be used with great force to initiate results. The pad also filled up with polish and stained my fingers and left polish in the nail creases. But along with the bad did come some good! They claim to be vanilla scented, and that sure is true! They smelled great, even as they were removing the polish. Additionally, they were VERY moisturizing to the point that they left a somewhat greasy-ish, lotion feel to my fingers upon completion which I sort of liked. The container comes with 30 pcs. which is a pretty generous amount to me. However, if you DO decide to pick these up, I'd recommend using 1 per hand at the least. All in all, if you're looking to find a product that easily, and quickly removes nail polish I'd stick with acetone remover (harsh on the nails, but a girl on the go's dream!) - this will not impress you. It might be more suitable for younger nail polish users, or for people who wear very light nail polish. The packaging is cute and convenient, the smell - lingering and delicious. The moisturizing effect was likeable, but for me it's all about functionality and results. This nail polish remover did not pass the test and it's back to the headache inducing ol' school products for now.
