Advantages: small and travel friendly

Disadvantages: can be messy, leaves hands oily and pungent smell

Tesco's nail polish remover pads from their Beauty Choices range seem the ideal solution for holidays. Small and compact the pack contains 15 circular, moist pads. The smell is very pungent - moreso than liquid nail varnish removers I have used. Each pad will remove a lot of polish and one pad can easily remove polish from finger and toe nails. However, the pads are very greasy and leave the hands feeling very oily so you need to wash your hands after use and therefore they're not suitable for use on a journey, by the pool etc as you may hope.

Another major problem was when removing heavy, metallic style polishes and one coat polishes the pads seemed to 'melt' the varnish and it seeped everywhere, leaving you with fingers the colour of the varnish you are trying to remove! This does wash off easily though for a supposedly time saving and convenience product it defeats its own object. The pads are unsuitable for use with artificial nails. Do not put the pads directly onto any surface - they are vicious and can strip wood! I would not buy this product again and on future travels will pack a small bottle of remover and cotton wool, sticking with the old fashioned way to remove nail varnish!
