Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover

The amount of hype around this product is actually unbelievable, so the other day I finally gave in and decided to give it a go. This nail varnish remover claims to 'instantly remove' the varnish within 1 second - though the real selling point for me was the no need for cotton wool. Too many hours I've spent going through cotton pad after cotton pad, scrubbing away only to find that actually, it's made no difference whatsoever!



I'm just going to start with the fact that there is one thing I majorly hate about this product: the smell. Just taking a whiff of it makes me physically choke, it is that disgusting. I find this ridiculously odd, seeing as the fragrance is one of the things on the front of the bottle, described as a red fruit and vanilla fragrance. Thankfully, the smell doesn't carry onto your nails, so as long as the bottle is kept as far away from my nose as possible, i'm happy.



I'm also not sure about the whole 1 second claim, but anything under 10 minutes a nail is an improvement to me, so whatever! When I tested it, I found that it took around 6 seconds to clear all the varnish, but it does it beautifully!

You are supposed to put your nail inside the sponge, twist and remove - and the nail varnish is removed. I find it works better if you leave your nail inside for a few seconds, or just repeat it twice - but either way, it does what it says on the tin! Plus at only £4.99 a pot, this is so much cheaper than soaking endless cotton pads - especially with the current 3 for 2 deal at Boots - get it free and give it a go!
