Removing nail polish has never been the most glamorous of tasks, but these perfumed wipes from RUFFIAN—available exclusively through Birchbox—make the process feel like less of a chore. Inspired by the dressing room of a Hollywood starlet, these durable, scented cloths are black in color. Better yet, they're acetone-free, and have a light floral scent instead of the acrid odor thats typical of so many formulas. Throw in the sleek, purse-friendly packaging, and saying goodbye to an old lacquer shade is almost as fun as saying hello to a new one.
I wanted to like this product so much based on what a brilliant idea it is-- but as I went to clean off dark red nail polish (a good test, if you ask me..) it left me with nasty red fingers for the rest of the afternoon. Boo. I ended up having to grab real polish remover and good ol' cotton balls.
1They do work with some effort, and is larger than the package. The smell is so overwhelmingly strong that I had to turn on fans and remove the towelette from the house. It's a strong earthy/musky smell that made me a little sick. I would also recommend to not get them on anything else, because trying to get that stuff off is a pain.
1I was not very impressed with this product. As someone who is obsessed with nail art and is constantly applying a removing nail polish, I was excited to receive a product that would help me with that. But it was ineffective. I was rubbing like crazy before the nail polish even began to fade. I had to go get my trusty liquid nail polish remover and cotton balls to finish the job
