Purchased this to remove tough gel nail polish. With only using one small cotton pad I was able to remove gel nail polish off of ten toes. Very little product or effort was needed to remove all the colour. It removed polish that regular remover could not. The packaging even says this can be used to remove acrylic nails. It was slightly pricer than regular nail polish, but I think the ease of use is worth it, not to mention saving me trip to the salon.
