Is all remover created equally? I ask because I changed my polish several times a week and am wondering if I should be conscious of what I'm using. Do some get the nails "cleaner" than others as well?

Thanks!

They definitely aren't all made equal. Some are formulated to strengthen your nails and stuff and some contain acetone and some don't. It's really all personal preference. I really like the pink non-acetone one from Target. It gets polish off super quick and doesn't dry out my nails, which it a big problem for me.

Sorry this is so long :33

They aren't all created equally. There are non acetone removers, removers with vitamins in them to strengthen your nails, and there is Pure/100% acetone. I use pure acetone because it takes off all of my nail polish extremely fast. It does dry out my cuticles but that's why, right after I apply my top coat and it has dried, I apply a cuticle oil, and hand cream. That's the best way to keep your hands and cuticles moisturized.
And yes, pure acetone does clean the nail completely by ridding it of natural oils. This isn't such a bad thing though, because oil on your nails can lead to your polish chipping off quickly. Like I said though, if yo do use it, use a hand cream and a cuticle oil after you finish your nails! It'll keep your hands soft (:

Like Carie said, pure acetone dries out your nails and cuticles, but the drier your nails are, the longer your nail polish will stay on. Nail polish naturally adheres better to dry nails; chipping occurs when you apply nail polish to moist nails. So if you're going to use pure acetone to remove your polish, apply the new polish immediately afterwards and then once it's dry you can use cuticle oil or hand lotion.
