I thought these were the coolest little things. They remove nail polish with with a very oily base that leaves your hands very oily afterwards and I thought that the oil was moisturizing my nails and cuticles. I was out of nail polish remover and constantly used these. I had a few different ones in different scents and ended up using them for a few months. I really felt like they were good for my nails because of the oil instead of the drying nail polish but after a few months use I started to notice my nails got thinner,weaker,and were breaking off really bad. After they broke down until they couldn't break anymore they were so weak that they were still trying to break on top of my nail and was painful and I was like omg the only thing I changed was my polish remover. So I went back to my old polish remover generic cutex with gelatin in it for a 1$ and my nails stopped breaking and seem to be improving. My bottom line is these are great for travel but I wouldn't use them constantly like I was ever again. I would only use them for travel since my nails desperately need/want the gelatin.

Im so glad that my local dollar store starting carrying these little guys. whats weird is then i saw them at my local Rite Aid soon after- were they just released? i dunno. either way- these are great!!
PRICE/AVAILABILITY- these LA Colors Nail Polish Remover Pads are so amazing cheap!! i buy mine for $1.50usd! yes $1.50! ive seen them at Rite Aid for $1.99. so around $2. I find mine at my local Dollar General or Family Dollar Stores have also seen them at Rite Aid & online as well. Price/availability will vary depending on your area.
PERFORMANCE/FORMULA- these pads are great- i mean amazing at taking off my nail polishes. i normally like to use 3 heavy coats of polish & sometimes glitter so i need a good remover. These take off regular polish like a breeze. i just take the pad up & down rubbing firmly & w/ one maybe 2 pads at most, all my fingers will be clean perfectly! with giltter polishes- it will take more force & time. i expect this since i always have a harder time w/ glitter. But this remover will take it off. 3 pads for all nails for glitter heavy nails which is amazing! what helps is making sure you firmly rub this against the nails. What i love is the gentle formula but yet so great at removing. i was a bit turned off at first bc it feels moisturizing against the nail & skin- unlike acetone which i always have cuts around my fingers & that crap burns the crap outta me all the time! & leave the skin dry as can be not these! These leave my nails shiny & healthy looking. Less harsh than typical removers yet effective if not more so than those. The pads are wet enough for removing but my nails are dry & ready for new polish application within a minute. These are my new favorite & so convenient to use anywhere. i feel it has helped with my nail growth since theyre gentler on my nails.
PACKAGING- this is for real the bestest polish idea ever! i know ELF carries almost the same thing ill have to look up the difference & update. These pads come in a white plastic jar with a twist on top. The logo/name is on the top of the lid. Its cool logo- it caught my eye. inside you have 25 nail polish remover pads. This one jar has lasted me over 20 different polish looks i only have 2 left but it was def worth it. This is plastic, sturdy, small, convenient & portable. if you are ever on the go & need to change your polish- this is FAR MORE BETTER than carrying around a big bottle of remover & if you are anything like me you will worry so much about that thing spilling & ruining everything. Also this stores the pads nice & neat as well as keeping them fresh & wet. they didnt dry up. MAKE SURE TO TWIST LID CLOSED TIGHT & SECURE! do this so they dont dry out. I like being able to have this jar anywhere bc theres no liquid spilling or dropping anywhere. Ive ruined carpets w/ reg nail polish remover no matter how careful Ive been. So this is the best! Also their small but powerful. What i love too is Im not using up 15 qtips or cottonballs- filling up the garbage can. esp cottonballs since glitter tends to rip that babies apart. These pads are thick like cottonpads from the store but the fibers are strong so they dont rip or tear apart even with glitter removal. They do have a slight apple scent but still have a acetone scent. but its not strong like most that take my breath away, nor does it require a fan be turnt on or a window beng flung open- you know what i mean?! The scent is there but not overwhelming. Thats a real great thing since my bf always complained before about my remover all the time & i also hated doing it when my cats were around, not no more, you can smell them but he hasnt complained since- WOO HOO!
Overall- A BRILLIANT PRODUCT! They have made me a converter- no more bottles for me. Super easy, super powerful, great on the nails, its does wonders for me! i will def continue to repurchase these over & over & i think the price is worth it! I can use them easily with my clumsiness as well as take em with me if need be. Overall, SUPER SATISFIED and recommend to those looking for an easy way to take off your polish. I love painting my nails but hate taking the polish off when it starts to chip or fade. These have made it so much better! continued >>

I snagged apple scented and melon scented nail polish remover pads from my local Dollar Tree.
These work great. The packaging is a small cylindrical container with 32 pads.
Perfect to keep in the car or throw in your purse.
The label says you can use one pad for 10 nails...although I use one pad per hand. The remover has a pleasant scent and has kind of an oily consistency. It does not feel like standard liquid remover. It did not dry out my nails, I think the oiliness gave a moisturizing effect...although it does leave a residue on finger tips.
Overall would purchase again and recommend. You can't beat the price!
