20 Best Acetone Nail Polish Remover (2024 Update)

I have been experimenting with more natural nail polishes and polish removers. My nail tech used regular nail polish on my nails and when it was time to remove the polish I used what I had at home Mineral Fusion nail polish remover. The instructions said to saturate a nail wipe I used a cotton ball, and to leave it on the nail for a few seconds. It actually worked. It safely removed all of my polish without harmful fumes or chemicals. My nails are not dried out either. Any negative reviews on this product is most likely due to not reading the directions and using it properly. You must saturate a nail wipe or cotton ball and leave it on the nail for several seconds. It really works.Anonymous

This product does work well even on glitter nail polish. I do a pinkish neutral shade and then paint some abstract lines of a gold glitter polish over the nude shade but the glitter part was always quite difficult to remove. Mineral fusion does take off the glitter l, though it does take a little extra rubbing. I have no idea how people can say this does not have a strong smell or that it smells like mango. I think it smells awful although maybe not as strong the drugstore brands. It certainly is less drying and less toxic than other brands and this definitely is the remover I will continue to buy.Anonymous

I have started using color street nails. I recently tried removing them with non acetone polish remover. Oh man, it smelled awful and stung like crazy. I saw a YouTube video of a lady using this remover to get the polish off. She put a little of the remover in a plastic sandwich bag and moved her hand around and rubbed the nails a little. So, I bought it, and gave it a try. Is it weird that Im in love with a nail polish remover It worked amazingly, smelled nice, scent disappeared quickly, and my nails feel conditioned. I had no idea I could like a nail polish remover so much. Just try it. I dont know you couldnt like it.Anonymous

I think this works great for the price. I purchase fake nails from brands like Kiss because I have small children and don’t always have time to go to the nail salon. Well, when I put them on I use really good glue and that can make it difficult to get the nails off. I used to just bite them off, but I know that’s not good and wanted something that would get the nails off for me. Acetone is the way to go. I did have to do it twice, but when you use extra strength glue what can you expect? I will suggest trying the cotton pad and aluminum foil method, but if you can’t, just soak your nails in the acetone. Anyway, I definitely recommend.Tay

It works great at getting my powder dip nails off! it works well on glitter polish too. I do use finger soaking caps with cotton balls and it works quickly! I go in and buy it in store, that is because after seeing in the store on the shelf, most of the bottles are half empty. This is to ensure that i get the one that is the fullest. now im not sure why this product is half full on the shelves.. either someone is pouring it in other bottle, possible evaporation. the porduct itself is great. it does just as its supposed to do!ReaperChick

This is hands down the best, most efficient nail polish remover I’ve ever used. It easily cuts through multiple coats of nail polish and removes it without leaving a trace. It is slightly drying to the nail but does no damage. It is moderately priced compared to other nail polish removing products but a great value given it’s far superior performance. I recommend this above any other retail nail polish remover.leigh.l

It has a slightly strong acetone-type scent but it might just be the mango aroma that offsets it. This easily removed polish. A little bit of work for stubborn glitter polish though. Did leave white residue behind on my skin (fingertips) not my nails, but that was removed after a final wipe. My nails, cuticles and hands did not dry out although I felt a slightly non-visible oily feel.Michele Z.

This arrived nearly half empty! The top was taped to prevent it from leaking and there didn't appear to be any leakage in the packaging, so it was not full when they packed and shipped out. I know it's a good product. I've used it before, and with my previous purchases the bottle was full when I bought it. I was unable to attach the photo because this only allows 5 mb and mine was between 7.5 mb.Donna

This stuff is like magic! I use approx 2 TBS in a small baggie and put that baggy in a bowl of warm water. I stick my fingers down in the baggie and wriggle them around for about a minute and the nail polish just falls off. It is very effective at removing nail polish and my Colorstreet nail strips, regular, glitter, gel and everything else in between. I especially love that it doesn't contain acetone which can be especially drying to my nails and skin around my nails. The smell is great too. It leaves my nails feeling nourished and healthy rather than stinky, crusty and dry. The only reason it lost a star is the price is kinda steep. It is worth the extra cost and while I can afford it, I'll pay it. I do wish it was more budget friendly though. I recommend this product.brandy.r

Metallic polishes have always been my go to colour since aged 12 when my older sister told me these were easier to apply without looking blotchy. Whether or not this is true I still do not know 15 odd years later, but my habit has been set! Game of Chromes is a beautiful colour. Normally I avoid a polish this gold out of fear of it looking tacky, but there are a number of subtones to the colour that tone it down and cause it to look a mixture of silver, bronze and gold depending on how the light shines. Very much a statement polish still, but one that looks like it has been chosen by an adult! The polish is opaque enough that one coat will give you sufficient coverage, but I opted for two to get that added sparkle. Note you need quite a long drying time in this case. I tend to only use polish on my toes, and therefore I can't provide helpful comments on how resistant the polish is to daily chores such as washing up and typing. However it has lasted amazingly well on my toes compared to previous polishes I have used. Two weeks later and, except for my nails having grown a little, looks like I applied it yesterday. To be picky, the brush was slightly too large for my nails. My little toe nails needed more of a dot than a stroke! Certainly I would have struggled to do an accurate job on my fingers. However, this is common for me and I would rather the brush spread too far than did not cover my whole nail as it's not that hard to pick off the bits that get on the skin if needed. The polish did go on smoothly and very streak free. As mentioned before, I did two layers and it took a while for the first one to dry enough to attempt the second coat so had to flap round the house wiggling my feet like a mad lady for a while. The top coat was very good and seemed to really meld with the colour polish. Note that you get best results using this in sunlight as that sets the polish in the same way a UV lamp does for normal gel nails. Not the easiest when you're doing this on your toenails and don't have a garden, but I managed! Overall I'm very happy with this polish and think it's great to not need to go to the salon for a long lasting finish.yelitza.s

If you enjoy using any of the beautiful gel polish from Sally Hansen then you will definitely love using their gel polish base coat. As this base coat help bind or adhere the color better to our nails. For me I think it helps not protect our nails but also help the nail color last longer as well. I also think it is a must when I am doing my manicure with my Sally Hansen Gel Colors to start with their Gel Polish Base Coat Nail Polish for a great and lasting overall manicure 💅.ingrid.c

It turned out to be simply amazing! I really liked everything about it and the fact that the smell is minimal. And the fact that she is very gentle (on my nails I immediately feel it) and the fact that the cuticle really remains soft. And the liquid really quickly removes varnish and even bright. In short, everything that was written on the packaging is all true, not empty words. I am very pleased with the purchase! Of course I recommend!Natali

I tried a cheaper remover, and big mistake! I won't switch from OPI again. You rub your nails less because it removes polish quickly. Which means it's not sitting on your nails as long. It even removes the extra long wear polishes like the at home gel type longer wear polishes, and I use 4 coats of polish! It is worth the price.Love to look fresh

I didn't like this product at all. I had tried it a few years back before the cosmetic studio that I worked for started carrying OPI as part of a franchise contract. The nail polish remover was too over priced for the amount that was given and it has a high evaporation rate of loose product while it was placed on the shelf with or with out display lights. The product seems to be absorbed too quickly on a cotton pad as well but the only perk was that it didn't bury the fingers like other name brands. I would not recommend this product to any one. Also the nail wipes that they once carried in lavender as an alternative to this nail polish remover had a flaw too, it use to expand in the box which was worrisome for the staff members including myself at the studio. Sorry I have no pictures of the products that were thrown away long before I came to influencer.lydia .l

I am very impressed with the Cutex Care Swipe & Go Non-Acetone Nail Polish Remover Pads. The pads are very saturated, strong, and effective at nail polish removal. One pad easily removes two coats of nailpolish from all fingernails. In fact, one pad has even effectively removed nail polish from all 20 fingernails and toenails! I especially love that the pads are easier for my three daughters to use and are less of a mess and stress!live.the.dream.deals

Love love love. I hate the messiness of a bottle of remover and I usually only wear in a few coats not gel or regular polish but I am confident this would be just as brilliant. Also love especially to keep in a makeup bag when I travel in case paint chips or I need to removed and change a color. I tried to switch to the but it was like a forearm workout every time just to take off one hand and also it ruined a piece of furniture and an article of clothing of mine 🙁 so I am back to this. I think my only issue is my cuticles and the skin around my nails get dry but I just make sure to hydrate extra extra after I am done. Will be back to using these in the future that one little wipe did both hands with lots of product to spare!katie.m

I get my nails done about every 10 to 14 days. I usually get dip nails or gel polish or combination of both. The acetone that I have been using to remove gel and dip took a lot longer to remove the product than this acetone. I really like that this acetone has lower fumes than other brands as well. I will definitely be buying this again to remove nail product.MoxxyBee

Great product. Works exactly as it should. I apply with a cotton ball and let it set for about 10 seconds and then wipe off and the polish comes of really well. It is 100% acetone and professional strength. Pronto had no issues getting my glitter polish off and my daughter loves how well it removes her gel polish, too. This is an 8 oz bottle. I like that the packaging is simple and clear.BrandyRose

PRONTO Polish remover is 100% pure acetone. It comes in a 16 oz. bottle. This polish remove is very strong and can remove any polish you apply. Since it is pure acetone it can easily remove gel polish and artificial nails also. This is they type of polish remover every manicurist I have ever seen uses. A little bit goes along way! I generally use it by dabbing a cotton ball with the acetone and then applying it to my nail polish. If I have on gel polish then I like to place a small amount, enough to cover my nails, in a small dish and soak my nails for a few minutes which makes the gel polish come off easier than with the cotton ball method. Please be careful when using pure acetone since if you spill it on finished wood furniture it can and probably will take the finish off faster than you can clean it up, from personal experience I learned my lesson and protect anything I am using pure acetone around. This is a good quality acetone and should handle anything you want it too. I couldn't be happier with the Pronto polish remover and wouldn't change anything about it.Wormie

I've been wanting to try this remover for a while. I am familiar with the pump style because I have one from Flowery that I use and love. It is identical in style and I'm familiar with how to use it properly. So I finally ordered this, and the pump that I got was leaking… it leaked over the rest of my order, and then when I tried to use it, it will not push down and pump properly. It's as if there is a blockage preventing it from pushing down about 90% of the time even when it is turned to the "on" position. But, you can always order from Ulta with confidence, so customer service replaced it (after a long time on hold, of course. Hassle.). BUT unfortunately the new one I got also has a broken pump. This pump is broken in a different way! It will push down just fine and I push and push and push, but no fluid will come up to soak the cotton ball. That's two strikes out in a row. I'm afraid if I call again they'll think I'm lying, so I prob should exchange in store so I can show them, and our stores aren't even open in MI right now. If you order this, I strongly recommend making sure that you can exchange it at Ulta. The whole point of this remover is the awesome pump. And as I unscrew the top and turn it upside down just to get liquid on a cotton ball, I will admit to feeling extremely annoyed at what I paid. As for the quality of the remover itself, I find the OPI expert touch lacquer remover is superior, but this is still good polish remover.ChinjillaVanilla

This Zoya nail polish remover takes off EVERYTHING you can polish with and by that I mean glittery nail polish just swipes right off. It doesn't dry out my cuticles or make my nail beds feel weird. I love this product – however – the lid is temperamental. Some days it will pump the product onto my cotton round, other days I have to remove the lid to use it. Could be worse, the product inside the bottle is very good so I'm willing to forgive the lid issue. The smell doesn't really bother me because I use a Dyson fan/hepafilter all the time so smells are never an issue.Anony

I love this nail polish remover! It is gentle on your nails and gets even the darkest colors off easily. This only works with regular nail polish. Not gel or acrylic. It has a nice scent and not the overpowering scent you're used to! Love all Zoya nail products but especially this remover. I also love the packaging where you push the top and it comes out onto the cotton pad. So convenient.erin.c

Solvent for expanding foam sealant in a can (like Great Stuff) and cyanoacrylate adhesive (like Super Glue). Solvent resistant gloves, eye protection, discardable clothes and proper ventilation are recommended .anonymous

This stuff works great. It doesn't take long to get the old product off. You get a lot in the container. I would recommend that you wear gloves and maybe a mask. But for the projects we used it on it was amazing. I really like it and will continue to use it.Mirandaj14

About a month ago I needed a some adhesive removed and found the Klean Strip Acetone. I was impressed how fast the acetone removed the adhesive off a metal surface. A little goes a long way too. I have just used the acetone on several projects and the results have been good for each one. One of the other project was paint on some cement and brick it clean off all the old paint. I like that this is versatile, easy to clean up after and washes off well too.Steve

Smells really strong but works great !! Make sure to keep away from children. I’ve used it even on removing a dark color like black and I promise it’s the best product ever to remove nail polish quick and easy. It leaves a clean look around the nail.jennifer.h

My favorite nail polish remover! It’s a lot less drying than pure acetone and it doesn’t leave my fingernails super dry or brittle. It gets the job done and the formula lasts a lot longer with a slower evaporation rate so you’re able to use less product compared to other nail polish removers.sammy.n

This is my favourite nail polish remover. The high percentage of acetone makes polish removal effortless. It makes the process super quick. One con is that it can be drying because of the acetone, but it is worth it for the ease of use!vanessa.r
