20 Best Nail Polish Remover For Natural Nails (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

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

This doesn’t need anymore reviews but I had to leave one cos it works that well. Please watch the video on how to use it – that is super important. In my opinion, it works better than acetone, differently but more effectively if the directions are followed. Somehow it seems to increase in my cotton ball and I only use one soaked cotton ball for all 10 fingernails. With acetone I’ll have to either use more cotton balls or rewett the one I am using. The nail polish, by the time I get to my second hand, just slides off and I have so much liquid in the cotton ball I have to wash my hands afterwards. This 4 oz bottle is going to last a while and I think my search for a nail polish remover ends here. Oh and my nails are moisturized. Believe the hype. ( no the nail polish will not come off immediately but when it does, it will come off totally and easily, I don’t even get the hidden corner polish that always seems to escape my other removers! )M

I liked that this nail polish remover could remove glitter nail nail polish. Other reviews mentioned that this product didn’t remove glitter nail polish. My nail polish was already chipping perhaps that’s why I could remove it with this product. It does take a little bit of time to work the product on your nails to get the removal process started. However, this is nothing considering that I don’t get split, peeling, or dried out nails from this product like I do with regular acetone nail polish remover. Also, there is no nauseating, harsh chemical smell! I think this product is worth the price.Kk

Looking for a polish remover that is unscented and cruelty-free, I though I had hit the jackpot. However, those are the only factors that earn it ANY stars at all. Almost $12 for a small bottle; it's very oily, and barely removes ANY polish. I scrubbed with a cotton pad, and just got bits of cotton stuck to my nail. Then I tried a paper towel, which held together better, but still barely removed ANYTHING from my nails. I like to do intricate nail art, but with this product, the removal process has become the most time consuming and frustrating part of my manicure.Christine A.

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

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

I purchased this product expecting it to easily remove my gel polish manicure. It did nothing to help. It seemed to make the polish harder not softer. I used an emory board to buff off the shine of the gel polish first and then soaked my fingers in the polish for more than 2 hours and nothing. My suggestion is just buff the gel nail polish soak in regular nail polish and repeat. This polish is not worth the extra money.natasha77

I'm truly impressed by this polish remover! I'm a nail artist so I've used a lot of different kinds of removers and usually they're all about the same and they all stink and give me a headache. But this actually smells amazing! It reminds me of a tropical island lol and it works great! This is now the only kind of remover I will use! No more acetone headaches 🙌 now I'll close my eyes and pretend to be on an island lol it's coconut scented btw lolkayla.h

So, my best friend bought me and herself a bottle of this. We went to the nail salon a few weekends ago and got gel nail set. So she used her nurse about a week ago and she told me that it wasn't working. So she said how long was she supposed to soak her fingers in it? It says 15 minutes and she said she ended up having to pick the Nail off. Now her nails are flimsy. I decided to try my bottle to get my gel tips off. I literally have been soaking my hand in the stuff for about an hour. And it's not working that good , so I used my acetone polish remover instead. Maybe it's because we had gel nail tips. But I would never buy this myselfaya.s

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

This is great polish remover. However, when I received it the bottle was less than 2/3 full. Don't be fooled by the FULL bottle you are seeing. It did not leak in the packaging so, therefore, it was sent to me that way. I did contact member services but she was not too concerned about my issue. She offered me a return and replacement but , again, more work for me .No Thanks.RubyDee

Run out and buy Into the Wild! This is a beautiful jewel tones color. This is a great color or fall OR summer. Absolutely beautiful. This can easily be applied with just one coat. I love all of my Nailtopia products. My only complaint is that the brush is a little large. Still not worth losing a star over though!Sallie82

I usually use acetone-based nail polish removers since they typically work a lot faster, but this one did a great job! It removed my polish quickly and easily and didn't dry out my nails too much! The smell was a bit strong but I got used to it quickly. Overall, would recommend!Julia

Powerful 100% acetone for acrylic or glitter nails works great! Make sure you don't tip or drip on wood tables or plastic tablecloths cause seems to melt it. This stuff is strong so keep away from children! Professional grade acetone gets hard polish off quickly and eats at your skin so use in moderation. Use with cotton pad or ball. Tissues aren't strong enough! Definitely recommends for press on nails if need them off in a pinch.Amethystm628

This is some powerful polish remover! If you use the polish strips, gel polish. Glitter polish, or go to the salon to get your nails done regular non acetone polish remover is not going to cut it. Acetone cuts right through the tough stuff and it doesn't take much effort on your part to get it off. I soak a cotton ball and then hold it on the nail a few seconds then start wiping it off and that makes a huge difference rather than wiping it from the start. I had polish strips on my toes for seriously 3 months so you know those were stuck to the nail and not going anywhere! This stuff took it off no problem and it doesn't leave the polish color all over your skin either. It does smell very strong and it will dry your skin out fast so don't overdo it, a little goes a long way!Casjoia

I do all the nail stuff myself at home- you name it, I do it – gel, dip powder, etc. all the stuff that is REALLY hard to remove. This Eternal brand acetone works great and in my opinion is waaay better than the other acetone removers out there. I compared it to a brand I buy from the beauty supply store, and another higher end brand you can buy at Walmart and other stores but I noticed something funny. Even though the others brands I compared this one to also say 'pure acetone' on their labels, they have other ingredients listed on their bottles. Eternal brand however, does NOT have any other ingredients listed, this one really is pure acetone. And it works! It works really, really well. This is going to be my 'go to' from now on!Jester

I got this product to remove nail polish. My daughter had multiple warts all over her fingers. She works at a bank and therefore, her hands are seen by customers all day long. She had used many wart removers, only to have the warts come back. She was complaining to me, one day, about them and how she was embarrassed to have customers see her "warty" hands. I had read about the other uses for the Tate's Natural Miracle Nail Polish Remover and one of them said,"Removes Warts". So, I gave her some from my bottle. Within a week, most of the warts had dissolved and by 1-1/2 to 2 weeks, all of them were gone. Its been over a year, and she hasn't had one wart on her hands! (She put the Tate's Natural Miracle Nail Polish Remover on each individual wart and covered it with a band-aid, overnight, every night, until they were gone.) Its a perfect nail polish remover, since the nail polish comes off with ease. But, its also, a perfect wart killer and its natural…that's the best part. You aren't leaving unnatural product on your hands to cause problems in your body.Debby

I’d like to give this product 5 stars even though I’m honestly hesitant to even give it 4 stars. The reason being, there is no ingredient list on it. I have heard and read mixed reviews about the authenticity of the “natural” minerals used in this product. It’s great, gets the job done effortlessly. Maybe that’s the issue, it’s too effortless, like in one swoop the nail polish is gone. Any type, any brand…it smells kinda funky too, so what type of earth mineral is in it?nadia.n

Excellent product! Expensive for nail polish remover but worth the price. Especially for those who are sensitive to chemicals. Highly recommendDana

I was hesitant to buy it because of the price but when I tell you a little goes a long way!!!! This stuff is so impressive! It gets off every layer and nook and cranny. And it’s so moisturizing!!! I will definitely purchase this again.Heather D.

The best! This is seriously the best nail polish remover out there! It is so gentle on hands and removes color very easily. There is no smell which is the best part!Ashley G.

Definitely my favorite nail polish remover! I feel this one takes off the polish faster than the original soy-based ones, and it is also more moisturizing for my nails and cuticles.Andy

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

A paragraph should consist of six to seven sentences. No, it should be no longer than three sentences long. Actually, it should include a topic sentence, several supporting sentences, and possibly a concluding sentence.amaria.m

I needed to soak my nails to get the gel polish off. I used a regular nail file to roughen the surface of the polish, then I wet cotton, placed it on the nail, and wrapped the tip of the finger in foil. I needed to leave it for at least 20 minutes, then swiped with the cotton when I took off the wrapping. About 90% of the polish came off then. A few nails I had to do twice. I did not need to use a dremel. The advantage is I now get to rest my nails for a while but that's not due to this product but due to the pandemic and businesses being closed. I would use this again if needed but I hope that I can go back to my regular salon soon.Jean

I bought this from another site but this product in particular is supurb. Works fine on glitter but not great. You just have to put lots on a pad and hold it over the glitter for a few seconds.maryam.a

Was a little bit doubtful about the efficacy of this one.. Always though you needed the strong alcohol remover to work to remove nail polish. IF this worked, I thought, I'd be amazed. Well!!!! I think it's way better than the classic alcohol one. It smells great, it nourishes my cuticles because it's oil, and I just really love it. Highly recommend !! Thank you Iherb!!!iHerb Customer

First of all, sorry for the foot picture since it’s been a couple months since my last pedicure (obviously haha). Anyway, I didn’t go into this with high hopes. My 3 year old is starting to want her nails polished, so I wanted something that wasn’t super toxic to use with her, plus in general I love more natural products, but things like this often just don’t work as well as the more toxic options! But boy did this work. The disclaimer is that, again, this was a two month old pedicure so it possibly wouldn’t be as easy to remove if it was fresh, but it came off with very little effort. And it came off CLEAN. Most of the time, I feel like there’s always some color left on my nails for a day or two, but this came off 100%. I’m not sure about gel (not even totally sure what that is if I’m being honest!) or the nail strips, but on regular polish with multiple coats, it worked awesomely. It was a tad oily considering that’s it’s main ingredient but it absorbed into my skin pretty quickly.MF

This product makes my day! It looks very pretty and lighten my mood when I look at it. Most nail polish remover smells terrible but this product DOES NOT have those regular chemical smells at all which is why I love it so much! Yes, it is a bit pricy compare to other nail polish removers but it's totally worth it!! It takes longer time to wipe off the nail polish though.iHerb Customer
