The Body Shop SWEET ALMOND OIL NAIL VARNISH REMOVER

I love painting my nails, but the smell of nail varnish remover always makes me wince.

I was hoping that this new release from The Body Shop would be the product I was always looking for, but sadly it isn't.

It certainly looked appealing when I ordered it online, as it is acetone free and contains sweet alomond oil, which is very nourishing.

Don't be fooled by the gentle jargon!

When I first opened it I thought the strength of the fumes was going to make me sick!
I literally could not believe how strong the smell of the alcohol was!

You can smell the sweet almond oil, but it doesn't make the experience of using it any less uncomfortable.

For darker nail colours you will have to soak a cotton wool pad in a lot of the remover, that aside it does as it should - remove nail polish.

I do feel like my nails are surprisingly dry after I've used this :/

At the full RRP of £6 for a 100ml bottle, it's not exactly good value either.

So maybe give this a gentle sniff if you're in store before you buy as it really took me by surprise!
