Review title is Works much better than expected [SEP] My nails are in terrible shape. I'm doing everything I can think of to improve their condition but the going is slow. This was one of the many steps, using a non-acetone polish remover. I was surprised to find how effective it is, easily cutting through two layers of ridge filler and two layers of nail polish. Didn't have to soak or anything, just put it on cotton and take it off with a few wipes. In fact I found it a little easier than acetone. Now it remains to be seen if this step will also help improve my nail condition of weakness, ridges and splitting. And I also found no problem with the odor.
