Nail polish remover

debonair

Can anyone recommend a nail polish remover that doesn't make nails dry and flaky? Preferably found in a pound shop but I will pay more if I have to!

I use Superdrug own make that is acetone free and contains some oil or other. I think it is about £1.20, I sometimes buy the pads for use in a rush they are £1. Nail varnish comes off easily and isn't too drying.

Many thanks, I'll give that a go.

If you are not keen on using the remover, there are many homemade methods to remove your nail polish. Saves you every penny!

Hi,
I used LA pads nail remover. This Acetone free pads remove nail polish effectively.
Thanks!!

I wear a lot of dark polish or special effects top coats. Unfortunately only acetone removers get these off.

If your nails flake easily it can also be a sign of a lack of calcium and vitamins D and E. Make sure your diet contains enough nutrients and you get enough sunlight (best form of vitamin D, 10 mins of non-SPF coverage per day should be enough if you can find any sun...) Calcium from dairy or soya milk (which has calcium added) or fish and some green leafy vegetables will also have a little calcium in. And vitamin E which you can get from nuts, sunflower spread or some margarine spreads. Whilst nail varnish remover can and will still dry out nails, it can help a bit for your nails to be strong beforehand.

No health problems or diet issues, and my nails are very strong. I only have a problem when I use nail polish remover which i don't use very often. Since posting I have used the Superdrug one and found it a lot kinder to my nails than my previous one.

Have you tried using a peel off base coat? I use one when using lots of glitter - they're great if you get them right.

Trick is to keep nails out of water for as long as possible once applied, then when you want to take them off, just soak in warm water for a few minutes and they peel off very easily with no damage to nails.

They generally only last 2-3 days, so less than if you didn't use one, but I normally only have glitter on for a short period of time anyway.

Here's one, there are plenty others from different brands:

I change my nail polish a few times a week and also use the Superdrug own brand remover . . I find it pretty good and a reasonable price .

there has a new remover for nail polish, if you are a salon, it could be very fit for you. and if you make the nail art by yourself at home, the remover wraps could help you out. anyway, choose the better quality of nail polish is also important. :j
