The Stripper

Despite the title of today's post, I promise you that we're going to keep things classy...and discuss stripping--nail polish, that is.  I was first tipped off about The Stripper during a Saturday at my favorite local boutique, Bessie Blue.  I complimented a customer on her fabulous nail color, and she was kind enough to point me in the right direction: Deborah Lippmann.


The Stripper Nail Lacquer Remover by Deborah Lippmann, $18
Available at Nordstrom


If you're not familiar with Deborah Lippmann, then one thing you should know is that she is the go-to manicurist to fashion magazines and renowned fashion houses alike.  Her collection of nail lacquer and nail treatments are some of the best I have ever used--and knowing how seriously I treat my mani/pedis, I don't say that lightly.  Plus, as a girl who simply can't get enough of cleverly named cosmetics, with nail lacquers like "Yellow Brick Road" and "Bad Romance," Miss Lippmann clearly has the nail care industry on lock.

 But I promised that we would talk about stripping.  And that's where The Stripper comes into play.  This award-winning nail polish remover lets you take it all off--from the darkest to the lightest of shades--in mere seconds.  Made from lavender and aloe, this special formula will also hydrate the nail plate while also providing natural anti-bacterial properties.  For the girl on the go, the bottle also has a unique twist-lock pump to prevent leakage and spills, but if you want to be especially cautious, you can opt for 'The Stripper to Go' Nail Lacquer Remover Finger Mitts.  Available in boxes of six, you use one little mitt to strip the polish from all your nails.  Cute and convenient--yay!

Believe me when I tell you: you will not find a better nail polish remover.  Ever ever ever.  This is the kind of stripping that even your parents can approve of.
