Beauty Secrets Acetone Nail Polish Remover

I bought Beauty Secrets Acetone Nail Polish sometime in November.  My OPI nail polish remover was running low, so I wanted to give this a try. I've heard a lot of good things about this from Youtubers who swear by it.  I was at Sally's Beauty Supply one day (and this rarely happens because it's not that accessible to where I live), so I bought it.

I laid the bottle down because my room is a mess.  The colour of the remover is pink.

The smell is fruity.  It's not an offensive smell.  The smell fades really quickly. When I use it on a cotton ball, it removes polish pretty easily. So I have no complaints there.  It is acetone, so I have noticed that my nails are a bit more dry? If that makes sense.  When I used nail polish removers from Sally Hansen or Quo, I noticed that my nails would bump up.  I basically wear nail polish every week.  When I used the OPI, that did not happen as often.  

Another thing I notice is when I dip a brush into the solution to try to move errors near the cuticle, it hardens my brush and it doesn't remove anything.  Also when I dip the brush that has taken my errors away back into the remover, it doesn't remove it. It actually hardens it. [Side note: I have since repurchase a smaller bottle of the OPI nail polish remover, and I dipped the same brushes in and the polish was removed.  I was also able to clean around the cuticle, so this wasn't the brush problem.] The OPI worked beautifully when I was doing this.  That would be my biggest complaint about this remover. 

This bottle was about $7.49, if I remember correctly.  It was on sale and a big bottle.  I wouldn't say this is my favourite remover though.
