Kruidvat Nail Polish Remover Pump Review

12th January, 2012 - Posted by Emily - 5 Comments

I always buy my nail polish remover at Kruidvat. I usually get a big bottle of their non-acetone formula for nail tips and a regular bottle with acetone for normal use. When it was time to buy some new bottles I saw this bottle of remover with a pump. I bought an almost identical bottle a while ago but it was really flimsy and the pump leaked so it ended up at the back of my Helmer drawer. I was really sad it didn’t work any more because, while it did work, I was absolutely in love with it! I decided to give this one a go as well, I really didn’t want to give up on remover pump bottles!

This pump definitely seems a lot better in quality than the previous one I tried. It feels a lot less flimsy and the cap closes properly unlike the other one I have. I’ve tried it several times and it works really great! You simply grab a cotton pad and push down on the pump which then releases the perfect amount of polish remover onto your pad. Easy!

However, the non-acetone remover that’s inside the bottle is very heavily scented with what I can only describe as headache-in-a-bottle :D . It’s a really strong perfume that is just really not my cup of tea. The formula itself I have no issues with, it removes polish like other non-acetone remover I tried but it left my nails reeking of perfume for hours. Even after washing my hands and generously smearing lotion on them. I really cannot use it… What a waste!

When I let my mum smell my fingers she absolutely loved the perfume! What?! Just goes to show how personal tastes are. I like my remover to have a subtle scent that isn’t too overpowering which I think this is. I’m going to pour the remover in a different bottle for my mum to use, wash it out and refill with something I do like. Saved by my mother!

The bottle is quite pricey compared to their other removers since you mainly pay for packaging. It was €2,99 I believe for a bottle of 175ml.

What sort of remover do you like to use? Do you get acetone or non-acetone formula? Do you go for the cheapest remover you can find or don’t you mind paying a bit more? Let me know!

Wij hebben gewoonlijk ook nagellakremover van 't kruidvat zonder aceton, maar onlangs heb ik eentje van de hema gekocht. Die werkt leuk maar er zit veel minder in 't flesje vergeleken bij die van 't kruidvat.

Oh die van de Hema heb ik nog nooit gebruikt eigenlijk! Moest ik kunnen kocht ik nagellak remover in flessen van 1L omdat ik het zo vaak gebruik haha! :D

Deze wou ik binnenkort ook eens testen. Kan je hem niet gewoon vullen met andere remover?

Groetjes van een nieuwe volger.

I use the same kind of pump bottle and I fill it with the non-acetone remover from Kruidvat, too :)

That kind of pump is essential for me, I can do my nail arts and Konad without bothering myself with an opened bottle cap… And the kitties can make it fall ! (well. Most of the time, I make it fall… I'm such a clumsy person :p )
