Genius Buy: Nail Polish Remover Pads

As anyone who shuffles between two residences knows, having two sets of want-to-wear clothes and two sets of essential grooming items is tough. For me, as I pack-and-ride between my NYC apartment and my boyfriend’s condo outside the city, it’s inevitable that I always want something I’ve left behind in my other home. That dress I wanted to wear on Monday? I left it in my apartment closet. My favorite liquid eyeliner that gives me an Angelina Jolie-like look? It’s in my boyfriend’s bathroom. I certainly can’t buy two of everything, so I’ve found a few savior products that make my life easier. The most genius of which is nail polish remover pads. You know how your manicure can be ruined unexpectedly, and at the worst possible moment? Well, these nail polish remover pads are individually wrapped pieces of velvety cloth that have been pre-soaked in nail polish remover. You typically get anywhere from 6 to 10 packets in a box. I use Cutex Essential Care One-Step Nail Polish Remover pads for only $3—but you can try any at your local drug store. I keep a few packets at my place, and a few at his. So when my nails look like they’ve been chewed by a garbage disposal, I can fix them up anytime in no time. They’re essential for any gal on the go.
