When it comes to polish removers, you ve got the option of a classic apply to cotton wool and go formula, or speedy quick-fix removers in pre-soaked sponge pots (that just require a dip and a twist) or on-the-go wipes and pads.

There are also plenty of acetone-free nail polish removers to help keep nails stronger and longer while removing every trace of your nail varnish. However, if you re sporting false nails or glitter polishes, an acetone base may be your fastest option.
Nail polish removers no longer have to leave nails smelling like chemicals, either. There are a host of sweet-smelling options out there, from Ciate s gorgeous chocolate range (our personal favourite is the mint chocolate, but there s a super-sweet white chocolate, too) to Model Own s strawberry sponge pot that s a snip at just £4.99.
Choose a formula enriched with aloe vera and vitamin E if you want to treat and nourish nails while you remove your polish. Caring for your cuticles with hydrating ingredients is a great idea if you want stronger, longer nails (all the better for your next manicure).
