Supernail N/A Nail Polish Remover - 16 oz

First would like to note, many are throw off by the N/A in the title of this product, as was I. I read the ingredients and after realizing it did actually contains acetone (first ingredient, see second photo) I went ahead and made a purchase.SuperNails Professional is based out of the UK, but this product is both made and distributed out of Los Angeles, California by the company American International Industries. Curious what the “N/A” stood for, I took a look at this product on their website and found the following information:“Note from manufacturer: There are two completely different polish removers that people confuse - Non-Acetone Polish Remover and N/A Polish Remover. The reason for the two different names is for "Legal Requirements". Non-Acetone is a true non-acetone polish remover. It is very slow, but extremely safe for acrylics and nail tips. This product has non-acetone spelled out completely. There is a second product called N/A Polish Remover. It is also safe for acrylics and nail tips - that is unless the nails are soaked in the remover for some time, then it will slightly damage the nails. This polish remover is much faster than the true Non-acetone and is the most popular Polish Remover available. The reason it is called "N/A" is because it is not a true non-acetone. It can be made with M.E.K. (Methyl Ethyl Keytone), a form of Acetone or other forms of Acetone which have been made safe for nails. Since it is actually some form of acetone, it legally can't be called non-acetone, even though it is safe for Acrylic Nails."Anyway, prior to my little Google research, I was looking for an affordable nail polish remover on Amazon that would actually work. I had recently purchased Onyx Professional “Moisturzing” Formula with Lavendar, Vitamin E, and less acetone than other removers, as I’ve been trying to grow my nails out and wanted something less harsh. The remover may have been cheaper, ($2.99, for the same size as this one, at TJ Maxx). Unfortunately, it would literally would take me a dozen cotton balls and constant scrubbing to get my polish off; which in the long term, probably was not good for my nails any more than a quick swipe with Acetone.I decided to do some *more* research, and came across a great article on a reputable dermatology website (Sinclair Dermatology in AU) that states the following in regards to acetone:💅🏽Acetone nail polish remover is the fastest way to remove nail polish and best for glitter/thick/stubborn polishes.💅🏽Non-acetone nail polish remover is a more gentle way to remove polish, but will take a bit longer.💅🏽Natural nail polish removers are free from chemicals but will require manual scrubbing to remove polish, which can damage the nail.There was also no mention of conclusive studies determining any dangers of using acetone-based removers on your nails. Of course, you’ll get the occasional redness and dryness, especially if you’re using this polish to soak off gel or glitter.Basically, you are doing the same amount of damage to your nails whether your doing a quick swipe with Acetone, or heavy scrubbing with a natural remover. You may actually be doing more damage with the latter, as scrubbing can destroy cuticles and tear your nails.This nail polish remover will be my new go-to! It removes regular nail polish quickly and the huge bottles lasts forever (see my photos for a comparison of the size next to a .46 OZ Essie cuticle oil).The best part is, after my nails have dried, they smell like candy. Strawberry candy. The first time I used it I sat there and smelled it constantly. Like those scented pens/pencils from the late 90s/early 2000s that all the girls kept in their little pen zipper pouch. Very nostalgic.If you are still concerned about using Acetone, my recommendation would be to immediately wash hands with warm, soapy water after removal, followed by using a cuticle oil or cream (Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream by Onyx has saved my nails from the brink of death). Or, you could discontinue the use of acrylic and gel nails, as those are much more damaging to your nails than acetone could ever be.

Compared to the yellow nail polish remover that leaves a yellow residue. I really like this 1 as it doesn't do that.

I discovered this product 12 years ago, I will never use any other polish remover! Removes layers of polish without a problem. Make sure you use with cotton pads for best results. Once you use this product, you can never use anything else. Trust me on this one.

I love this non acetone nail polish remover and I have not been able to find it in stores. So glad I can order it from Amazon.

Very weak polish remover. I'll have to buy something local that is a proven product. Covid has made me less likely to buy certain things at the store because I have issues with wearing a mask, so I've been ordering more online. It means I have to go to a big store that carries everything and I don't like to do that right now, because of all the drama. This product is really not even as good as the non acetone or health food store brand polish remover that I typically use. I bought this to soak off some gel polish with the systems I ordered for a removal process. It failed. This polish remover must be diluted or something. I was able to eventually full soak the gel nails, but I think it's too toxic a procedure to soak your whole finger tips in acetone. I don't want to have to do that to remove gel nails. I'd rather put the remover on a pad that just soaks the gel nail product only. But that did nothing. 3 stars.

Easily remove in one time . Don’t need to rub again and again .

Removes nail polish easily and does not dry out your nails like acetone based nail polish remover. The fragrance is not offensive. It's too bad I can't find the product elsewhere. There two stores near me where I could get it cheaper. There were other fragrances to choose from, too. Sadly those stores went out of business. Amazon is the only place I have been able to find this one, so far.

This product works well and its inexpensive.
