butter LONDON: Scrubbers

I bought this during a Sephora haul in April.  This was before I knew OPI was also coming out with their own travel removers.

I'm not sure about you, but when I go on vacation I try to make my polish last.  Usually it's ok and chips mid-vacation.  This is different when I go to a resort.  Something about being at a resort (sunscreen, sand and water) makes my polish go weird.  So I noticed with nail polish is that it seems to dissolve from muscle relaxing cream or sunscreen.  The muscle one sometimes makes it start to dissolve and sunscreen makes it less shiny for me.  So it looks worn down.  This can be said with sand as well.  

Anyway, when I went to Cuba and the Dominican Republic, I carried with me a small bottle of polish remover.  This is pretty inconvenient because it is prone to leak.  Enter these travel packs.  So I avoided using the scrubber since I'm not on vacation, but I was curious how big it was.

Here are some pictures:

Thoughts
I was able to remove my polish for six nails.  After that, it wouldn't take anything off my seventh nail.  If I'm using this for travel, I'd be ok to carry two packets with me.  I don't think this would be a good product to use in replacement of a full bottle of polish considering this is expensive.  I mean it's $2/packet.  The scrubber itself is pretty small.

Anyway, I bought this for C$12 but I had a percentage off as well from Ebates or something.  Would I buy this again? I'm not sure.  Probably not. I'd probably try another brand just to compare.
