Nail Polish Remover

Hi guys!

So a while ago I posted about my (failed) quest to get my hands on a push top nail polish remover bottle.

I shared my tale of woe (#firstworldproblems ?) with my friend and the next time I saw her she gifted me with 'this' [as pictured].

I think she picked it up at Aldi and it was cheap....maybe £2? 

Tbh I was not concerned about the nail polish remover itself and really just wanted it for the push down top action but actually the product really impressed me as well. 

I got a cotton pad, opened the lid and pressed down on the thingy 2-4 times and my cotton pad was nicely saturated. the nail polish remover easily removed my 2 coats of black nail polish, insta dri top coat and rimmel base coat. 

I would definitely recommend you pick this up if you see it. 

Haul: Push down pump nail polish remover

Hi guys!

Just wanted to do a quick post to share this item with you - sorry for the short and catchy blog title but I don't know what this is official call. From now on it's 'it' or 'the thing'.

So what is this thing?! It's a small plastic bottle that you can put liquid in. Does not have to be used for nail polish remover but that's what I purchased it for - 99p from eBay.

Before I go on - very disappointed as my thing does not work. The nail polish remover does not come out when I press a cotton pad down. But I thought I'd share this item with you anyway cos it is a good idea. 

So like I said, it's a small plastic bottle; it's got a screw on lid with a flip cap.

And here's a close up of the 'special' bit - so you're suppose to press a cotton pad down and the liquid comes straight up. With my thing, nothing comes out when I press down :( I was so excited to get this. Oh well. I can still unscrew the lid and use the bottle in the traditional way.

I poured a bottle of Cutex into the bottle but I also purchased the above nail polish remover from Boots and I have to tell you, this is amazing! A great pice and removes polish with barely any rubbing. The only thing some people might not like is that this does leave an oily residue on your nails, but I wash my hands before applying my new colour anyway so it doesn't bother me. If you are in the market for a cheap nail polish remover I would recommend this one.
