Nail polish removers have two types; acetone and non-acetone. Acetone nail polish removers are the most common type, and most of the beauty brands have high acetone percentages in their nail polish removers, because they tend to remove your nail polish fast. Acetone-based formulas are more likely to absorb the color of your nail polish faster, which makes an easy removal process. Yet, have you looked twice at your nails after using nail polish remover? If your nails turn white and go extremely dry after removing nail polish, this means that your nail polish remover contains lots of acetone and you need to go for one with less acetone. Very harsh nail polish removers tend to absorb oil from your skin and dry out your cuticles.
On the other hand, non-acetone nail polish removers tend to be colorless with a very mild smell. Undoubtedly, non-acetone nail polish removers are way better, as they're tender on your nails and cuticles. However, you may require extra few minutes to have your nail polish fully removed.
Generally there are plenty of nail polish removers. Next time you shop for a nail polish remover, make sure to checkout the type that suits you the most:
