Nail Care Product Review: Up&Up Nail Polish Remover Dip-It

I have a nail care product review for you today! I hardly ever do this type of review, so it is kind of a nice change of pace for me. I have seen this type of nail polish remover system in the past, but passed it up because I figured I didn't need it. Then I thought I should try it out for you all to learn from my experience! I have Up&Up's Nail Polish Remover Dip-It to share! It has the acetone in the tub and little scrubbers to remove the polish. You just stick your finger in and the polish is removed! We'll see about that!

 

So this is what the inside looks like, it is a little weird looking! The acetone in there is already a little colored from my first use.

So, this does contain pure acetone. It is definitely the type that dries out the skin and doesn't moisturize like others on the market. I always use pure acetone because I get super impatient and can't handle it when remover takes too long. If you do your nails as much as I do, I would be careful of drying. You do have to dip your finger in pretty far, thus exposing your skin to the acetone. Another downside to dipping your finger in a pool of acetone is that the acetone takes on the color of the polish you just removed. By the time I'm several manis in, I feel like it might turn black, but we'll see. Maybe it denigrates the pigment after a while.

The little bristles inside seem to be made of a flexible plastic that rubs your nail as you move it around, and it is really effective! It only takes a few scrubs to remove nail art (many layers of polish) and it easily removes heavy glitter polish (three layers and top coat), which I really appreciate. One GREAT benefit to using this is that there is no lint particles floating around from cotton pads! I hate lint! It makes me furious, and I don't care if it says lint free, I haven't found one that truly is lint free. This is also refillable. Once you finish the acetone, you can easily just pour more in there. Below is a black and white photo of my nail after removal. I made it black and white because it is stained. In it, you can see the whiteness and drying that my skin has undergone.

I really love this product because of the speedy removal, but I worry about the drying qualities. I used a heavy duty moisturizer afterwards and my skin seems fine. I use Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream when my hands are extra dry. It is really thick but clings to your skin and deeply moisturizes like no other.

Up&Up is available at Target and I bought this product for under $3. Hope this post helped you! Let me know if you would like to see more posts like these! Thanks for stopping by!
