Hello everybody! Today, I have decided to review a product that I have recently purchased from Walmart for around $4. If you couldn’t tell from the title this product is 1st Acetone Power Gel by Nail-Aid. I bought the one specifically made for glitter and nail art in hopes that it would make removing my glitter nails easier. Sadly, that wasn’t the case.
The product says that you don’t need any cotton balls and
you don’t have to scrub your nails, all you need to do is dip them into the
gel, let it sit for four minutes, and sweep it off with a paper towel. That
sounds amazing, right! I was so excited to use this, so when my friend came
over I tried it out. The first thing I noticed is this gel literally took all
the heat from my finger. Gel is cold, I know, but this gel made my finger so so
SO cold and my finger cramped up; it was a horrible feeling. I don’t think that
my skin is extremely sensitive to temperature, but if yours is and you want to try
this product, avoid contact with skin.
I survived the whole four minutes (somehow) and proceeded to
rub off the gel. It worked, but only on parts of my nail, mainly the middle bit
and even there some glitter was left behind. The gel left all the glitter near my
skin and cuticle still on even though I know that my whole nail was covered. At
first I thought, maybe I just missed those spots or maybe I should have waited
a bit longer than it said. However, I tried again later and I got the same
result.
In conclusion, I don’t think buying products like this is
worth it. This product was so strong and probably very damaging to the nail. I
don’t think it is as effective as it could be, maybe the ones made for dark
polishes work ok. What I do when I remove glitter polishes (now that I’ve
learned my lesson) is I hold the cotton ball on my nail for like 5 minutes and
let the nail remover soak in then rub the glitter off my nail. It isn’t as
horrible as some people make it and I’d much rather do that than buy an extra product
I don’t really need. If you’d like to try this product feel free to do so or if
you’ve had a different experience please let me know. See you on Sunday for a
happier post lol. BYYEEE
