3.0 out of 5 stars It's fine but overrated August 3, 2011

By Ace Sands

I do like remove+ - it does its job and it's not too harsh on hands. But although some promos and reviews say it's better than acetone, it *is* an acetone-based remover!

I do like the bottle design.

It's too expensive for what it is (acetone + glycerin) so 1 point off for price, and 1 for the smell. I think they overdid the scent in this to overcome the acetone but I much prefer acetone smell, which evaporates to this cloying smell which stays on my hands for ever.

2.0 out of 5 stars Best remover ever - I used to think! April 6, 2011

By swimwiththe

This is the review I wrote when I first started using the product:
I love this stuff. My nails are healthy and it works well (and fast). It even works on glitter finishes. I like the flipper top and I plan to buy the giant bottle to refill it when it is empty.

Here is what I want to add:
Over time, I started to notice peeling at the tips of my nails. I had no idea what was causing it and so I changed one thing at a time systematically until I figured out the culprit. It was definitely this remover. I can use zoya's basecoat and I love their polishes but I hate this stuff now. I am now using deborah lippman's remover and the peeling has gone away. I did a "reversal" and switched back to the Zoya Remove and then the peeling came back. I switched back to the Lippman one and the peeling is going away (almost gone) once again. I just can't use this remover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big Flipper is a winner March 8, 2012

By J.Lane

While this nail polish remover is very effective for a product that is "less harsh" than other leading brands, it still is not capable of the high power that some stronger nail polishes need to be removed. I think that the benefits far outweigh any downfalls and for an effective product that will suite 90% of situations this is something any girl who loves nail polish needs to have in her arsenal.

The bottle is awesome, not only is the design cute (come on "big flipper" what could be more adorable?) it is also very effective. I am clumsy and short on the attention so I have spilled my share of polish remover bottles. This solves any problem with spilling. Not only is it spill resistant if it gets on its side but the design makes it very difficult to knock over in the first place. However, I have noticed that even when it is in "locked" position it has minor leakage issues. My recommendation would be to use care and not leave the bottle tipped over or on its side, but celebrate how great it is you didn't lose the full contents if you happen to accidentally knock it over.

I was worried that the scent might be overpowering, after all they are covering up acetone, but I was pleasantly surprised. The lavender is not too strong and it is very effective at covering up the strong odor (acetone) of regular nail polish.

As far as being part of a larger plan (Zoya color lock system) I have been very impressed with the longer wear and lasting color of my manicures.... I am not sure how "nourishing" any type of chemical can be for our finger nails however, I don't argue their claims of moisturizing (my nails typically seem frail from being dry and I have noticed a huge improvement since using this remover), and I have to agree that it is fortifying simply becasue I have never had nail polish stick so well. The other steps for the color lock system are also nice but I think this is the most effective product out of all (the least being the quick dry drops). I will use this long after I have forgotten the other steps and have moved on to trying the latest and greatest offerings.

One negative property which is hard to ignore is that I have noticed a "sticky" feeling that it leaves on my nails. My complaint is that if not careful you will have cotton stuck to your clean nail. I believe they intended for the sticky issue to help hold the polish but I have been frustrated with the unintended result. I would assume using a higher quality product to remove the polish instead of the cheapest cotton balls I can find might help with the situation (if you have realized this problem and found a good product that helps eliminate it please leave a comment for myself and the other readers).

I was torn weather it was worthy of eliminating one star from the rating and decided that becasue of the leaking when the bottle is locked and then this sticky situation, the 2 minor issues were cause for the rating of 4 stars instead of 5.

I believe Zoya has created a long lasting product that those who have a passion for all things nail polish will be using for a long time. I have seen an improvement in both how healthy my finger nails are and how well they take nail polish since I began using this product. I hope you enjoy the same results.

*As a note, even if you purchase this product and decide it is not worth the $7.00 or more compared to the typical couple dollars a bottle of regular nail polish costs, you will be thrilled to have the "Big flipper" for continued use to refill with the cheap stuff of your choice.

**I wrote this in my wife's voice and the opinions are from her perspective. Although I can and do agree with the results from her sharing her experience with me, I have not personally used this as part of my daily hygiene regimen. I will say that I purchased this as a gift for her the first time she used it. I often like to get her nail polish as a little present so I am very familiar with the multitude of brands. I picked this out for 2 reason. First I love Zoya nail polish (mostly because of their bottles, colors, and marketing). Second because I love this bottle design. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great April 4, 2011

By E. Heidewald

This stuff works just as well, if not better, than the conventional nail polish removers I've tried but it doesn't smell bad and it's supposed to be better for your nails. I took off very dark nail polish with no problem. The dispenser was tricky to figure out how to use at first -- you have to push the top down.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great design, but dries out nails. August 27, 2012

By nursethalia

I almost rarely paint my nails because I hate the tedious process of removing the polish later. I have to give this product three stars because of the convenience the design offers. I don't have to worry about spills or accidentally putting too much product in a cotton pad when I use Zoya, and the product works much, much quicker at removing polish than my typical polish remover.

That being said, my nails do NOT like this polish remover. After using the product three times in the span of two months, my nails began to dry out and look rough. Last night was my third use - my nails were rough and dry, and there was peeling in the middle of my nail beds. I've never had this happen to my nails before! I used some Burts Bee's Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream last night and this morning to help combat the dryness, and it has helped a little, but my nails have never been in such bad shape before.

I expected much better from a product that claims to "hydrate, moisturize, nourish and fortify" my nails. "Nail conditioner" my butt! I'll use up the rest of the bottle (with the cuticle cream after each use, of course), but afterward I will not be repurchasing this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best nail polish remover ever!!! August 23, 2011

By Dominique

Remove+ removes everything, even the most stubborn glitters! This doesn't dry cuticles like pure acetone but works just as quickly. Has a pleasant lavender scent that lasts until you wash your hands. Do not use to clean your konad supplies though, it's moisturizing properties prevent your stamps from transferring properly.

This polish remover is tough without the overpowering stench of traditional removers. Took off my polish without shriveling my nails or burning my cuticles! Highly recommended!
