Works! Light scent with no harsh chemical fumes. Tip: Use on cotton pad like normal remover!
First, I bought this for what was left out of the ingredient list. I started occasionally painting my daughter's fingernails and wanted a safer way of removing the nailpolish, since I'm aware of the negative effects of the chemicals used in traditional nail polish removers.<br /><br />As far as how this product works, I want to start by saying that I've been using a generic non acetone nail polish remover, so my comparison is with this type of nail polish remover and not an acetone or other &#34;fast acting&#34; one.<br /><br />As recommended by other reviewers, I ignored the bottle's instructions for use and instead used like any other nail polish remover. Since I typically use a flat round cotton face pad, I kept with my normal method of covering the mouth of the bottle with the face pad, tipping the bottle over quickly to soak a circle into the pad, and then rubbing the pad over each nail until clean. I was surprised that not only did the polish come off just as easy as when compared to generic non acetone remover, but I didn't have to change the pad or add more remover to it for both hands! With non acetone remover I typically use both sides of 2 to 3 soaked pads to get all of the residue off, but I was able to use both sides of the same pad to remove the polish from all 10 of my fingernails and feel I could have started on my toes if I was going to change that polish too, though I doubt I would have gotten through those without at least a few more drops added to the pad.<br /><br />BONUS:<br />1. This is very mild smelling!! It smells (to me) a little like black licorice, but the scent isn't overwhelming and definitely doesn't leave me dizzy or desiring fresh air like when I use the generic non acetone remover.<br />2. Doesn't weaken my nails. In fact, they feel a little stronger since switching to this type of remover!<br /><br />I'm SO happy with my purchase and will keep coming back!
