Prior to purchasing this product i had been using Sephora's Express Nail Polish Remover. Whoever invented these removers in a bottle is a mad genius. I no longer have to struggle with cotton pads in the midst of a manicure to fix botched nail polish. Coming back to my original point these retail for the same price as Sephora's but i very much prefer Bourjois in so many aspects.

Using the Sephora one kind of stinks up my room but the Bourjois one doesn't, and has a nice fruity fragrance. The Sephora one also leave my fingers and nails with a strange dry/sticky feeling and i definitely have to wash my hands after, which dries out my nail beds quite abit, while this one is clearly more moisturising. Lastly the Bourjois packaging is far superior because the sponge in the bottle seems to be of higher-grade - just denser and firmer because when you swirl your finger around it gets the polish off more easily.

Great product and a must-have for home manicure addicts.

This product is amazing, it's literally magic! It removes nail varnish in like three seconds, the only negative is the price which is about £5 which to me seems quite expensive but depending on how long it lasts it's completely worth it.

I'm abit skeptical about this product and thought its alittle unhygenic to be redipping into the same solution and sponge but...

Its amazing at removing normal polish, literally dip my finger in and wait 5 seconds, then twist around and voila!!! its gone! There isn't any polish left over at the side and no extra step is required. I'm in love.

The sponge goes all the way in the container and you don't feel your figure is in the solution, which is not what i was expecting. The sponge feels very good quality, soft and firm at the same time. Not harsh on my weak nails, its non-acetone and it does leave a moisturizing coating... the smell is pleasant compared to other nail polish removers. Still smells of polish remover but with a little fruity scent that is quite nice. The amount of liquid inside is quite little, one bottle probable won't last too long.

For glitter polish, i'll leave my finger in longer and do have to use polish remover on a cotton pad to remove every last bit but this has made removing glitter polish so easy! In the past, I completely saturate a cotton pad and hold it on my nail for maybe a minute. Then i had to rub and rub and rewet my cotton pad. With this, very easy.

Totally amazing and will get backups. Just wish it wasn't so expensive.

I kept hearing all the hype about this, so I grabbed a bottle. Was all excited and couldn't wait to get home and test it out.


This is, without a doubt, one of the biggest loads of false advertising I've ever seen. I don't understand how they can say it's a '1 Second' remover and actually get away with it. Under no circumstances does this take polish off in 1 second. If you only have on 1 coat, it *might* work in about 10 or 20 after twisting and rubbing your nail against the foam insert, and then you can add additional time w/a Q-Tip going around the edges of your nails to remove the polish still there.


Keep in mind also, that this is a non-acetone remover...which usually doesn't work as well as a normal acetone one would. The smell is fairly nice, and what's said about oil in it is true. It does seem to moisturizer the nails. But unless you want to spend the better part of 20 minutes taking off your polish, do yourself a favor and put this jar back on the shelf...especially those of you who wear glitter nail polish, as this stuff is horrible for removing it.


UPDATE-I've recently had acrylics put on and since I forgot to pick up some non-acetone remover, I had no choice but to use this and I have to say it's really good at taking the polish off of them. While it wasn't '1 Second', it did get all of it off (even around the edges). I still maintain this stuff is rubbish if you have natural nails, but it seems to work well on fake ones.

Recently tried it w/glitter polish and it was useless.

I had heard about this product many times and I went to buy it and find out what the hype was about.
This is the best nail varnish remover I have found, it removes nail varnish in seconds and is acetone and paraben free. It also leaves your nails smelling of red fruit and vanilla, which I absolutely love.
A bargain at £4.99, I find it to be an essential.
