Review: Onyx Nail Dip Polish Remover and Equate Nail Dip Polish Remover

I was just thinking this afternoon of what I should review and I was like "Duh!" It's a great idea to inform you guys about my new polish removers I bought a couple of weeks ago. Besides I need to polish my nails again. I first heard of this 'magical' nail polish remover from StyleSuzi(great fashion and beauty guru, loveee!). From her quick video it showed her dipping her nail into the polish remover container and pulling it back out in seconds with a completely clean nail! How freaking awesome is that! I got curious of course and went to buy it. Going into this I didn't know what was gonna be in the container. Like I said, Suzi's video was a quick in and out, then BAM! clean. So there were two different brands that I purchased from(both under $3 max each). The first one is by Equate and the other by Onyx Professional.


Equate Nail Polish Remover

Lets just say I was surprised. Basically, it's just a large soaked sponge in a container... haha! I never thought to use a sponge to remove polish, so whoever created this, smart(smarter than me at least)! I don't believe this one is 100% acetone but it does contain acetone.It is also protein enriched and used for natural nails. I'm sure it would work on acrylic nails too. The smell is like any other polish remover, chemical like, no added artificial smell to make it seem less intense either.
So in my pictures below you'll see the equate container and how it looks like inside. The fourth picture shows how well it works. So from section 1-2 on picture 4, I DID NOT rub my finger against the sponge. I just dipped my finger in and left it in for 20 seconds and took it out. In section 3, I dipped my finger in again and rubbed it gently against the sponge and it took off the polish left behind the first time. The last picture displays the result of dipping in a nail and rubbing it against the sponge for 20 seconds which took all the polish in one go. Overall, I'm happy with the results of the Equate Polish Remover. Its fast and easy. Plus I don't have to revert back to using cotton balls or pads. Because many of us know that those stupid cotton hairs secretly stay behind and ruin your polish or they fly in the air and eventually land on your newly coated polish and just ruin everythannnng, haha! Besides its a steaaal, its under 2 bucks!


ONYX Professional Nail Polish Remover
(100% Acetone)

I'm gonna start off with, 'if you think Asians are attentive to details, I don't fall under that category.' Ok, so I think I mentioned this above but before this review I have used the Equate remover but didn't get the chance to test the Onyx remover. Pretty much as I was opening this container I thought I was gonna see a soaked sponge as well but, a big BUT by the way, it was this weird looking light pink, plastic, prickly holed concoction and I was like, "Oh my gosh! What the heck?!" and laughed. Anyways, I went on to test this out. Like with the Equate testing the first two pictures were demonstrating an in and out within 20 seconds and no rubbing. The third picture is the result of slight rubbing and removal of the left over product from the previous. The last picture shows a first time in and out with rubbing and the nail was completely clean. I think the Onyx remover works better but I don't know if its because of the material used in this process( sponge vs. prickly plastic) or because the Onyx remover is 100% acetone. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that, no, the plastic pricklies do not hurt, it's like a hair brush/toothbrush against your nails. I'm sorry if that doesn't make any sense; I can't really think of a comparison at the top of my head right now. The Onyx Nail Polish Remover runs around 2 bucks and some change. Either way, both products are under 3 bucks so yay!

You can find these products at Walmart (where I purchased it) or at Walgreens, Ulta, or any drugstores by you. Give them a try, it's amazing and you probably won't go back to cotton balls.
But hey like I say, "To each their own!"
Let me know what you think if you've tried these or products like these. If you have any questions about products in this review or in general that I didn't cover just leave me a little note down in the comment section and I'll get back to you guys! Until next time:)!
