The problem with nail polish remover? So many, really. It’s splashy, smelly and dries your nails out and in all these years it’s never been re-invented significantly. Nailfix & Chill is a cream polish remover that comes in a tube – low odour and far less aggressive than traditional removers.
What cosmetic innovators look for is categories that are doing very well in the beauty market and then try to replicate that success in another category. My guess is that this new product had a skin care brief – to be a cream, to look more ‘beauty’ and to replicate a facial cleansing cream or balm.
You cannot remove nail polish without solvents, so yes of course that’s in the mix, but also oils (macadamia, sweet almond, argan, sesame and Vitamin E) that condition the nail while you remove. And they do – when I used Nailfix the difference in the feel of my nails afterwards compared to regular polish remover was marked. They were much smoother and far less dry – shiny even. It barely has any odour meaning you can probably get away with doing a quick removal almost anywhere and not alert the entire office to the fact that you’re doing your nails!

To use, you put dabs of the cream on your nails, wait one minute and then remove with cotton wool. It genuinely works and it’s completely mess free (mine is hastily applied above in these quick iPhone pics but it had the measure of Dior Pandore in no time!). The biggest thing is that it’s not flammable so you can travel with it easily.
There is just nothing not to like about this – it’s quite genius really. It’s a lifestyle product that has shaken up a category that’s had no significant input almost ever – Nailfix & Chill has already picked up an industry award at Cosmoprof and will be rolling out to retail in due course. It’s a very exciting product that’s going to have other formulators and brands green with envy! Eraser creams for nails are definitely a thing.

“will be rolling out to retail in due course”, I guess you don’t know when it could be likely we could buy this? I am really keen to try this product
No it hasn’t launched into retail yet so it’s a question of keeping an eye out. x
Thanks! My eyes are on it 🙂
looks genius! but I just know I’d use it by mistake as toothpaste or handcream or something haha
Maybe it’s just me, but (play on words aside) the font and color is very like Netflix. Hopefully a lawsuit doesn’t delay the release because this seems really interesting. I never would have tried it without your review. Love reading your blog.
I think it’s supposed to be! And thank you so much – thanks for reading.
Now this looks rather exciting. I hardly ever paint my nails myself as can’t be bothered with the smell off nail polish remover. Have to take the pads out the house to dispose off as just stinks the bathroom and kitchen bins! Will add to my list and keep checking when it’s available. Great review!
Can’t wait to try this! LOVE the branding too, total game changer and can’t wait to see what other products they have up their sleeves!
Sorry very messy and didn’t work on all nails. I wore 2 coats of polish and removed after 4 days of wear. Took 2 applications and a lot of rubbing with cotton.
