Nail lacquers better look out! There’s a new sheriff in town, and he brought a case of these of amazing E.L.F. Eyes Lips Face Nail Polish Remover Pads.
A dollar doesn’t stretch as far as it used to, but someone forgot to tell that to E.L.F. With the exception of that travel pouch of emergency Nutella in my purse (no judgement), these are the best $1 products I’ve seen in a while.
A beauty obsessed pal of mine recently raved about pre-soaked nail polish remover pads, saying that they saved her a ton of time and kept her nails and cuticles in good condition, and WOW! — she was not kidding.
For removing non-glittery nail polishes, these are the shiz! One pad takes care of the whole kit and caboodle for me — base coat, top coat and multiple layers — for all 10 fingers.
Glitters, on the other hand (no pun intended) are a different story. I tried to see how these would handle my recent glitter ombre mani, and although the pads put up a good fight and cut through most of the sparkly stuff, I still had to use four of them to finish the job (there are 18 of them in a pack).
Still, for just a buck? That’s such a sweet deal. Love how fast they work and how they don’t dry my nails and skin.
Oh, and have I mentioned that they’re only a buck? 🙂
PRICE: $1 for 18 pads
AVAILABILITY: Available at drugstores, Target and also online
MAKEUP AND BEAUTY BLOG RATING: A+
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

November 18th, 2011 at 11:10 amHaha, I like how your nail polishes are looking at the remover, gasping! And then when you’re using one of the pads, the China Glaze fainted!
Although I love nail polish, sooner or later, they all meet the same fate and then it’s onto the next. 😛

November 18th, 2011 at 11:11 amAren’t they great? Glitter can be difficult but otherwise they rock. Also they don’t leave your fingers feeling dry like some nail polish removers do. Glad that you liked them.

November 18th, 2011 at 12:03 pmI love these, too! They make up for ELF’s eye remover pads, which don’t work for me at all :/

If this doesn’t dry out nails, then I should check it out, so that I can wear nail polish more often!

November 18th, 2011 at 3:48 pmWow, only a dollar! These would be great for travel or trips so you don’t have to bring a bottle (and worry about it leaking/spilling).

November 18th, 2011 at 7:58 pmTHE.BEST. nail polish remover i’ve ever used is wilaverde. i can only find it in this one local chain of drugstores but MAN. it’s all natural and oil based (soybean i think?) so it actually moisturizes nails and cuticles while cutting through polish like a hot knife through butter.
i have no idea how it works, but it’s incredible.

November 18th, 2011 at 8:07 pmThanks for posting these! I’m definitely going to pick some up! I go through so many cotton balls and polish remover… then the cotton balls start pulling apart and just getting messy. I’m super excited e.l.f. has something so affordable!! 🙂
Edna says
November 18th, 2011 at 11:26 pmL.A. Colors has some very similar. They are about $1.20 but they are Melon scented (super yummy) and acetone free. I think they use the same type of formula as the E.L.F ones because it also moisturized my nails and cuticles.

November 19th, 2011 at 6:18 amI’m definitely gonna have to check these out. I love glitter but they give me a heck of a time during removal. I’m so glad you shared this!
Rebecca says
November 20th, 2011 at 7:27 amI love polish remover pads because they’re perfect to travel with (given liquids restrictions), but haven’t found ones that work well. Thanks for reviewing these; I’ll pick some up!
