Why You May Soon Be Getting ID'ed for Buying Nail Polish Remover

Turns out acetone nail polish remover is the new Claritin D when it comes to making meth. So much so that CVS stores in New England are starting to ask for identification when customers purchase it, as well as putting a limit on how many bottles of remover they can buy.

The drugstore chain mandated that one must be 18 and have a valid state ID or driver's license to buy nail polish remover. According to the New York Post, CVS issued this statement to back up their plan of action (that you may or may not think is bogus): “Because acetone is an ingredient used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, we recently implemented a policy that a valid ID must be presented to purchase acetone-containing products such as nail polish remover. Our policy also limits the sale of these products in conjunction with other methamphetamine precursors and is based on various regulations requiring retailers to record sales of acetone.”

WPRI.com, a Rhode Island news site (via the New York Post), also revealed that the policy has been rolled out to CVS stores across Southern New England, but will it spread cross country?Only time will tell. Just don't be suprised if the next time you're itching to take that Essie Mademoiselle off your nails, a cashier asks you to whip out your ID first.

Swiped From the Beauty Closet: <br />NailPak All n' 1 Polish, Remover, and File

Okay, so if you're a DIY manicure kind of girl, then listen up. Recently I was watching an episode of ABC's Shark Tank and tuned in a little closer when I heard a woman pitching a new nail polish concept: NailPak All n' 1 Nail Lacquer, Remover, and File, $15 each, dualitycosmetics.com.

Here's the gist: Entrepreneur Barbara Lampugnale came up with the idea to create an all-in-one manicure system. The three-in-one product bundles a nail polish, circular file, and 40 pre-soaked remover pads into one user-friendly stackable package. Genius, right? The sharks (slash investors) thought so, too, and her idea was funded on the spot.

After watching the show, I checked the Cosmo beauty closet and sure enough—a NailPak had arrived. I was psyched to take it for a test drive. My review: It's super-convenient, especially for traveling (it's .6 fl. oz.), the polish pads wiped my existing lacquer right off of my tips, and the file, although tiny, did the trick. Even better, the bottle holds everything you need to give yourself a manicure in a pinch, so you're all set. 

Will you be picking up one of these cool polish packs?
