Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover, Non-Acetone vs Nailtiques Non-Acetone Remover with Aloe Vera
I am basing my comparison of Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover, Non-Acetone Versus Nailtiques Non-Acetone Remover with Aloe Vera on three factors: smell, how fast the non-acetone fingernail polish removers work, and price. Non acetone nail polish removers are notoriously slow to dissolve nail polish. Price is a factor because after all, most of use can’t afford to pay an arm and a leg for acetone free nail polish removers.
Speed
Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover, Non-Acetone versus Nailtiques Non-Acetone Remover with Aloe Vera is not much of a battle. The Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover is hands down the faster of the two non acetone nail polish removers. With a little extra rubbing and a fully saturated cotton ball, I was able to remove even red fingernail polish more quickly with the Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover. Nailtiques Non-Acetone Remover with Aloe Vera is by far a more gentle product. It does take time to remove darker and more colorful nail polish, as well as quite a few more cotton balls when you use the Nailtiques product. I do have to say that both Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover, Non-Acetone and Nailtiques Non-Acetone Remover with Aloe Vera are both very good at removing clear and pale colors. So, if you only paint your nails clear polish or tend to wear more pastel nail polish colors you could go for either non acetone nail polisher removers. If you tend to wear darker more vibrant colors you will definitely need to stick with the Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover, Non-Acetone.
Smell
In the battle of smell the Nailtiques Non-Acetone Remover with Aloe Vera is the clear winner. It advertises and delivers a somewhat non offensive fragrance while you are using it. The Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover, Non-Acetone does not smell as bad as some of the other Cutex products that do contain acetone, but it does have a strong smell. The presence of aloe vera and other conditioners in the Nailtiques Non-Acetone Remover with Aloe Vera might be the reason this product has a much better smell.
Cost
A 6 ounce bottle of Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover, Non Acetone costs about $2.30 at most grocery and drugstores in my area. A 6 ounce bottle of Nailtiques Non-Acetone Remover with Aloe Vera will cost you about $6.00. While this is a slightly pricey bottle of non acetone nail polish remover, it may be worth it for the better smell. Personally, I am not sensitive about the smell and prefer to go with the less expensive Cutex Quick and Gentle Nail Polish Remover.
