D.I.Y. Nail Polish Remover Jar

You might have seen this DIY in a lot of places. I had seen it long back but never took the time to make it. But when I finally did, I enjoyed it so much that I had to share it here.

We are going to make a DIY nail polish remover jar. A lot of these are available over the counter from Bourjois, ColorBar, and Sephora. But its fun to do it yourself!

Things you will need:
1. An empty jar - plastic with a wide mouth screw cap
2. Sponge (take one which doesn't dissolve with acetone or your polish remover)
3. Any nail polish remover

To make sure your sponge will work, take a small piece and dip it in your polish remover. Then leave it for some time preferably in a closed container. Wet it a couple of times to make sure that you have tested it enough. The first time I made mine, the sponge actually started dissolving with the polish remover after a few hours and so I had to do it all over again!

The process is extremely easy. Take a sponge piece that is the same height as your jar. I used an old face scrub jar. The sponge was also a leftover from some packaging that I had opened. 

Now roll the sponge as shown in the picture below. You need the sponge to sit snuggly inside the jar and have a tight centre opening where you can place your finger. Tightly rolling a piece of sponge works well.

L.A. Colors Nail Polish Remover Pads - Review

Nail Polish remover pads are pre-soaked pads that you can directly use on your nails to remove polish. Today I'm reviewing the L.A. Colours nail polish remover pads (strawberry scented)

The nail polish remover pads come in a small circular box with a screw top lid. The box contains 32 pads. The whole box smells amazing - strawberry fragrance is what you get an no smell of the regular polish removers or acetone. Each pad is very thin. It is drenched in polish remover with a mix of oil. As a result there is no dripping of product and the polish gets removed easily. The oil ensures that your nails are not dry afterwards and look shiny clean.

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Remover - Review

I really like Sally Hansen nail paints. You can check my reviews of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Nail Colour and the nail art I did using the Sally Hansen Salon range Octopus Nail Art Tutorial

This time I’m reviewing the nail polish remover from Sally Hansen. It comes in a big bottle with a screw cap. The remover itself is light pink in colour.

What the company claims:
“Removes polish quickly and gently while strengthening weak, thin nails. Enriched formula with essential nutrients helps promote strong, healthy-looking nails and cuticles with every use. A special blend of Vitamins and Protein fortifies and improves soft, weak, thin nails.”

My experience:
Absolutely love this nail polish remover. I haven’t used anything else before that comes close to this one in terms of ease of removing the polish. What I love is the fact that my nails don’t feel dryed out after using it. All the colour is removed properly with no leftover stains – even with prolonged use of the remover I have not faced any nail issues. It has vitamins to protect nails so maybe that is what works.


Details at a glance:
Packaging: plastic bottle with screw cap
Fragrance: light but non-alcoholic
Price        : Rs 325 (235ml)


What I like:

  • Works like wonder removing every bit of nail paint
  • Does not dry my nails



What I don’t like:

  • Size of the mouth of the bottle is really big and hence I end up using too much remover at one go.
