L'Onglex Nail Polish Remover: nail chic is tres magnifique

L'Onglex is a brand I bet some of yer Mammies have used.  Recently relaunched, this beloved old brand has had a makeover (they're now so modren they're even Twittering) and comes in super pretty bottles that wouldn't look out of place on the dressing table.

Pink is for acetone-based and purple is for the acetone-free version - you choose which kind you like.  If you've got gel nails or need a heavy duty remover, pink is for you.  But if you need something a little gentler choose the acetone-free purple bottle.  Both cost a weeny €3.69.

See now me and nail polish remover have always had an uneasy relationship.  Obviously I have to use it because I like to do my nails.  But no matter which brand I tried it always dried the feck out of  them.  I always went for acetone free versions cos they're kinder to nails, but even so there was an inordinate amount of cracking and splitting.

I was therefore both relieved and surprised when I used L'Onglex.  It's an oily formula that promises to nourish nails - and it actually does it.  Takes off varnish easily with no rubbing and scrubbing - and no nasty splitting apres remover.  Thumbs up (french manicured ones of course).

Yet another example of mammy knowing best.  But don't tell her I said so.
