Tired of using traditional cotton balls and nail polish remover? Me too. So when I received the Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads, I fell in love with this tiny product that works big miracles.

After trying the Sinful Colors Gel Technology polish, I figured I needed something to take remove it to see how it held up to removers and other chemicals. I grabbed the Cutex box and went to work.

Without applying too much pressure, I saw the gel polish beginning to break down. This was mind-blowing and a miracle in my opinion, because I usually have to get gel polish removed at the salon (of course, the quality of Sinful Colors is different from other brands). With just one pad, I removed 10 fingers of polish and still had product left over to remove more. So I tested out the longevity of the pads and painted my nails with a regular polish. Using the other side, the generic polish also came off with ease. Wow!

I have to say, I’ve always been weary of ready to-go remover pads, but this Cutex seems to know what they are doing. So whether you’re traveling or just want to ease up on the clutter of your beauty drawer, give the pads a try. The only con is the number of pads in a box, but hey, they’re perfect for anyone in a pinch. Overall, you won’t regret it!

Sinful Colors' polish with Gel Technology is a great drugstore alternative for gel manis! Lasted about 1.5 weeks with minimal chipping.

Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Pads really helped get the traditional polish off my nails. It wasn't drying at all either!
