I had heard that this nailene nail polish remover was really good and so was tempted to try it myself but my experience in the past with these kind of removers, where you stick your finger into the sponge and wiggle it around, has never really been good. That on top of that fact that I feel like these are quiet pricey at around £7, I didn't end up buying it. I then received this as a gift which sparked my interest in it all over again.
I am someone who really doesn't like taking my nail polish off. I also have a weird finger nail where nail polish gets stuck under my skin around the nail and it's really hard (and hurts) to rub at it to try and get it off. So, it came the time to take off the nail polish I was wearing and I decided to use this and see how it worked.
I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with it or how well this actually works! It took off all my nail polish (even on my stubborn finger nail) within a few seconds. It didn't even leave any tiny bits or streaks behing on my nail. The polish was completely gone.
I expected the inside to be sponge like all the other versions I have tried but instead its a hard plastic with bristles that you rub your nail against. It's quick and easy and if you hate taking your nail polish off like me, I really recommend to try this out. I love it!
This was £7 and I believe it was from Tesco
Have you tried this Nailene nail polisher remover? What did you think?
This looks really interesting compared to the normal spongey ones. Hadn't seen this before so thanks for the review x
ReplyDeleteI much prefer it to the ones with sponge inside :)
Deletelooks neat. i'd like to try.

This looks really cool. I've wanted to try one before, but, like you, the price put me off, but I may have to go get it once I run out of my current nail polish remover.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day

I probably would never have bought this for myself but now I see myself buying another one when this one is all used up if I can't refill it! :)
DeleteI just stumbled upon your blog, and it's lovely! You should try the Pretty Quik Instant Nail Polish Remover... It's one of the spongey ones and is only £2.50 in Boots. It does a good job! Only disadvantage is that once you've used it a few times you tend to get a bit of old varnish under your nails, but personally I don't mind cleaning that up with a cottonbud afterwards!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you and for the recommendation! :)
DeleteThese types of things always scare me..in fear of a mess! After reading your lovely post I'm ready to try one :)

I haven't really gotten into any kind of mess with it, I just run my finger along the top of it once I'm done and it dries really quickly, so it doesn't drip off your finger or anything :)
DeleteThat's err.. unusual! Can you refill it? It looks like the top pulls off. Definitely more worthwhile if you can wash and refill it!

It is unusual looking. I'm not sure if you can pull the top off but I did buy a bottle of acetone to see if I can use that in the pot once what came in it is too dirty to use anymore. I will have to see if the top comes off when I empty it out. It would be nicer if you were able to wash it, mine is dirty looking now from a dark colour I had on my nails.
DeleteWow this does sounds really good- i'm quite tempted!!

If you wear nail polish a lot I would definitely recommend it :)
DeleteI was really shocked that this was from tescos! I really want to try it now!! :) Defo gonna put it on my Mum's shopping list for next week! haha

I'd be interested to know how you like it! I remember seeing it in there ages and ages ago but not really taking much notice of it. They have some other Nailene products in there that I want to try out now too since I like this so much :)
DeleteI'm the same, I'm not a fan of the smell of nail varnish remover and find it lingers for ages! This little pot seems pretty ace though! Might have to nip into tesco on my travels! cheers for this
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed! I bought some acetone to refill it when it done to see if that works in it, if not I think I will probably end up buying another one myself!
DeleteI use this to get my gel nails off and it works well :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, now following! xx

I haven't used it for any type of false nail (just nail polish) and I always can't believe how well it actually works!
DeleteOh wow - this looks so strange inside - I would be expecting sponge as well. I am very tempted to give this a go!!

You should, it's amazing! :)
DeleteI havent tried this, but one similar to this, called Twist and Out. but after reading your post im tempted to give this one a try. Thanks for the review!If you fancy reading my review of the Twist and out, heres a link to my blog: http://nicnacs25.blogspot.co.uk/ xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of that one so I will definitely check it out! I'm so impressed with this Nailene one, it makes taking off nail polish so easy!
DeleteThis does sound different with it being plastic inside rather than foam. I've just got the Bourjois one in the tub with the foam. I've never tried any of these before, always just used nail polish remover and cotton pads...but I'm really enjoying using the Bourjois one. It's convenient and takes about 1-2 seconds to get polish off of each nail. Have you tried that one? x

No, to be honest I've always stayed away from these types of removers because I've never been impressed with them in the past and had I not received this one as a gift, I wouldn't have tried it either. I'm so glad I did thought because it's amazing!
