Since I’ve been planning on going on vacation for a week, I’ve been looking for alternatives for removing makeup without violating the “no fluids over 3.4 oz.” policy if I wanted to carry my makeup with me. One of the non-liquid solutions I found was ELF’s Nail Polish Remover Pads.
The Nail Polish Remover Pads container is the same shape and size as the Eye Makeup Remover Pads. It contains 18 thin saturated cotton pads. When you open the container, you’re not bombarded with the pungent smell of acetone. Instead you get a nice “fresh citrus scent” which is labeled on the container.
I was trying out a lot of colors I got recently off ebay and I had painted my nails ten different colors. Most of the colors were light and shimmery pastel in color. There were also some dark blues and glitter in the mix as well
. Each nail had about four coats of polish on it, and they were completely dried before I tried removing them.
I used one remover pad and was able to remove all polish on all ten fingers rather cleanly. Though I would recommend using two pads, one for each hand, because when I got to the ninth or tenth finger, it was getting difficult to clean off the polish since the pad was starting to dry.
After cleaning off my nails, I noticed that the remover pad left an oily residue on my fingers, so I had to wash my hands immediately afterwards to remove the oily film.
These nail polish remover pads would have been perfect if it weren’t for the oily residue it left on your hands, but this con is not enough for me to leave it at home when I go on vacation. It’s just a bit inconvenient.
