How to Find the Best Nail Polish Remover

You've enjoyed the effects of that manicure you splurged on, but now your polish is chipping and you need to remove it. Nail polish removers come in a variety of different types, but how do you know which one is the best for you and your nails? Follow the steps below to find out.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Look for a nail polish remover that is acetone free, as this ingredient can be very drying and harsh.
2. Choose a nail polish remover that moisturizes your nails and skin with such ingredients as aloe or lanolin.
3. Decide on the best nail polish remover application for you. Many brands come in a bottle, which you apply with a cotton ball or cosmetic puff, but some are also sold in pre-soaked sponge applicators.

Tips & Warnings

• Always moisturize your nails and hands with lotion after using nail polish remover.
• When looking for a new nail polish remover, start by purchasing smaller, trial size bottles.
• Gentle nail polish removers do take a little more time to get the nail polish off, but they are much better for your nails and hands.
• Acetone dries out your nails and cuticles and can cause breakage.
