Choosing nail polish remover
Nail polish remover comes in a few forms. Liquid removers are usually acetone or acetone-free formulas. Acetone-free versions tend to feel milder but may take longer on long-wear finishes. Check the label to see which type you are buying.
Consider how often you will use it and how your nails feel. Pre-soaked pads suit quick touch-ups, while a larger bottle suits frequent manicures. If your nails feel dry, look for a formula that lists moisturizing ingredients. Pair it with your usual nail polish and check that the remover suits gel finishes.
How to use nail polish remover
Soak a cotton pad, press it on the nail for a few seconds, then wipe from base to tip. For stubborn color, hold the pad in place longer rather than scrubbing, which can wear the nail surface. Wash your hands afterward and apply a light moisturizer.
Keep remover away from eyes and heat, and store it tightly capped. A clean nail tool such as an orangewood stick can help lift edges without scraping. Work in a ventilated room.
Questions about nail polish remover
Is acetone-free remover the right choice?
It depends on your needs. Acetone-free formulas are often chosen for a milder feel, while acetone formulas usually remove polish faster. Either type works if you allow time for it to soak.
Can I use remover on gel polish?
Many removers are made for regular polish only. Gel usually needs a stronger acetone formula and longer soaking. Read the label before you buy.
