Okay, so you\u2019ve scrupulously amassed nail polishes that are \u201cfive free.\u201d\u00a0 (That means they don\u2019t include formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toulene, dibutyl phthalate, or camphor).\u00a0 While you were at it, you made sure to avoid brands that test on animals<\/a>.\u00a0 Then the time comes when you\u2019re ready to remove that color from your nails, and you\u2019re left wondering what product to grab.<\/p>\n When I was at a natural foods store a while back, I spied these nail polish remover pads in a small, purse-sized container from Gabriel Cosmetics<\/a> for about $6.\u00a0 Gabriel is a vegan makeup brand that I\u2019ve used many times over the years for lipsticks, shadows, foundation, and more.\u00a0 However, I\u2019d never tried their nail polish remover pads.\u00a0 I noticed right away that their nail polish remover is acetone free, and since I\u2019m sensitive to acetone, that was a big draw.<\/p>\n Inside the container, there are 20 thin circles soaked with nail polish remover.\u00a0 The pads have a light, citrus scent that isn\u2019t overpowering.\u00a0 I was surprised that at first touch, the paper-like pads seemed almost dry.\u00a0 I was worried that I\u2019d gotten an old batch, but I needn\u2019t have concerned myself.\u00a0 As soon as I started pressing a pad into my polished nails the liquid trapped inside of the pads became apparent.\u00a0 For regular nail polish, just one pad was all I needed to remove polish from all ten fingers.\u00a0 For grittier glitter polish, two pads were enough.<\/p>\n The conditioning formula used in the nail polish remover leaves the nails feeling soft and smooth, not dry like some harsher nail polish removers.\u00a0 After I was done removing the polish, I simply washed my hands to remove any lingering oily feeling.<\/p>\n I still have plenty of remover pads left in the container, but when I run out, I would definitely buy them again. \u00a0Their products can be found on their website, gabrielcosmeticsinc.com<\/a>, at\u00a0natural food stores, and in vegan boutiques throughout the world.<\/p>\n Image Credit: Photo by Cadry Nelson<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, so you\u2019ve scrupulously amassed nail polishes that are \u201cfive free.\u201d\u00a0 (That means they don\u2019t include formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toulene, dibutyl phthalate, or camphor).\u00a0 While you were at it, you made sure to avoid brands that test on animals.\u00a0 Then the time comes when you\u2019re ready to remove that color from your nails, and you\u2019re […] More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":11359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false},"categories":[7657],"tags":[130,1234,7814,7815,83,316],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/gabriel.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11358"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
