Review: Sephora Express Nail Polish Remover

My grandma always tells me how it's so important to take great care of your nails. When you shake someone's hand, when you are talking to someone and non verbally trying to make your point (I do that a lot haha) or simply having a drink with someone...people will always see your nails. So nice looking nails are an indication of how well you take care of yourself. If you don't agree, try telling that to my grandma :)

I paint my nails regularly, but I hate removing my nailpolish. I hate the struggly with cotton buds and nail polish remover. Not to mention trying to get rid of glittery nail polish without looking like a glittery mess all day. So when I went to Sephora and I came across the bad guy you see in the picture above, I just had to try it.

The Sephora Express Nail Polish Remover is basically a little plastic container with a sponge in it. The spong is soaked in nail polish remover and there's a little hole in the sponge in which you put your finger, swirl it around a couple of times and your nail polish should be removed. The inside looks like this:

On the USA Sephora website I couldn't find this particular product (with the sponge and all), but I did find the regular nail polish remover by Sephora and this is what the website claims it to be.

A fast acting nail polish remover that removes ALL nail polishes effortlessly, even the long wearing ones. To product the skin around the nail it contains active ingredients with moisturizing properties. It doesn't contain Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, GMOs or Triclosan. It is dermatologically tested and does not contain aceton.

Now let me break that down for you and tell you my opinion on this product.
First of all I was happy to read that the remover does not contain aceton. I find aceton to be very agressive to the nails but also to the skin around the nails. Let's be honest, it stings right? Especially if you have sensitive areas of skin around the nail. I do have that so when I put my finger in the container I was particularly interested in the feeling on my skin. It didn't sting, it didn't feel irritating to my skin, so that's a big plus.
I swirled my finger around for about have a minute max and had a look....no nail polish anywhere on my nails. Not even in the areas that are hard to reacht with a cotton bud; the very sides of the nail where it touches the skin.

But then I was wondering... If I put my nails in this time and time again, will there be left overs and glitter from previously removed polishes on my fingers or nails. I have tried this product for a month now and started with a very glittery nail polish. First of all it removed all glitter. So when I tried it for the second time with a very bright pink nail polish I wondered if there were gonna be glitters on my fingers fromt he last time. Nope...no nail polish and no glitter. I've tried this product out with several colors of all kinds of finishes and even tried it when I had multiple layers of polish on my nails. It removed my nail polish in no time, time and time again without leaving left overs of previous removed nail polishes on my fingers.

I have used this for a month now and the sponge still feels soaked. I have no irritated skin around the nails and even if I have just a couple of minutes before I have to leave the house I can easily remove my nail polish and leave the house with clean nails.

So overall I love this product and would definitely buy it again, and again. It's pretty afordable to, especially for the quality of this product. The website says you can buy the regular nail polish withou the container with a sponge, for $8.
Now it's up to you if you buy the product in the container with a sponge, at least try it out, because it is so easy and quick.
Here's a little photo tutorial on how to use this product.
