Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Not conditioning; Struggles with dark or bright colours

I've never thought about the brand of nail varnish remover I use and if I remember I need some I buy the shop's own brand that I happen to be in next. I've never used the Sainsburys one before and now I have I know I'll never use it again!

It smells ok and has a nice consistency dribbled onto cotton balls, it's a bit greasy feeling but most nail varnish removers are at the cheaper end of the market and I think the greasier ones leave my nails in the best condition.

This one struggles too much with dark or mega bright nail varnishes though and I can't be bothered using 3 lots of cotton buds per nail to get the colour off. If you're using it on a pale and dull colour it will come off quicker but this remover still doesn't seem as strong as other makes and I think a bottle deffo gets used up quicker than the same size bottle from Boots or Tesco.

I don't rate this for keeping my nails in good condition either, actually my nails have gone a bit brittle in the few weeks I've been using it for and have started peeling. THat might not be anything to do with the nail varnish remover but it's a bit of a coincidence that this has happened just as I swapped to this.

It costs £1.26 a bottle and that makes it one of the most expensive supermarket nail varnish removers, the trouble is it's rubbish on the sorts of dark colours I usually wear on my nails and makes a long job of taking my nail varnish off.

Summary: Forget This And Buy Another Brand Instead
