Review (5/5): 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.
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 "fast acting" one.
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.
BONUS:
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.
2. Doesn't weaken my nails. In fact, they feel a little stronger since switching to this type of remover!
I'm SO happy with my purchase and will keep coming back!
