Man, that Sally Hansen in the blue bottle is the bomb!! I’ve used it for years, but finally had to start ordering online when it disappeared from stores. And I have cuticles like hooves! Lol It’s even good enough to pat on rough heels! The big bottle from Sally works great, but it’s just too thin and messy to deal with - you almost have to just pour it in a bowl and soak like the old Palmolive commercials. (anyone else here old enough to remember those? 😂)
I had to Google! It includes all the outtakes of two men talking about it softens his nails/hands but they can't get through it without laughing. Two guys on a coach so maybe they were spoofing it? Lol@@leapintothewild
I've used the Sally Hansen for years. I use it quite liberally and let it set for 3 minutes despite the directions. I don't rinse it off and it works great. I've tried the Blue Cross and it was ok but I always go back to SH. Thanks guys!
My hands look and feel so much better since I searched for natural nail care video. Thank you. I don’t paint my nails but I do like a good pedicure. I only wish I can see well enough to do my own pedicure.
I love how involved your husband is!!I'm going to show this video to my significant other in hopes that he'll allow me to give him a mani! Thank you for making this vid!!!!
I see men who don’t do pedicures and manicures as being nasty and unclean, I’m a man. I do facial every day, when i don’t do facial for a week and push my nose backwards a lot of sebum (butter like) will ooze out, this is what men who don’t do facials accumulate on their face from year to year.
Not true. Guy who does facials once a year here. Gunk accumulates on your face due to follicular overactivity which you actively provoke by stripping your skin of natural oils too often. Facials and other superficial treatments will look and feel good in the short term, but ultimately if you don't change your diet and lifestyle (and environment), you're gonna have the unattactive stuff coming back to you. Wash your face with cold water multiple times a day. Don't paint your skin with grime and pollutants, but move out of the city. All your symptoms will go away. Stop wasting your time.
I’ve been watching your videos on cuticles, pnf, etc for proper care as well as tips and tricks. I want the skin around my nails to be as perfect as yours. Just got the blue cross remover today and look forward to trying it tomorrow.
@@TheSalonLife @TheSalonLife PLEASE HELP! cause my cuticles and fingertip skin is so bad. The very tips of the top edge of my nail is always hard, like I bite my nails and skin, but I don’t. It’s so annoying and embarrassing too. (It’s actually the exact same spot as your husband, where the corners of the skin are just barely a faint yellow). Any tips on how to fix that? Cutting and filing don’t work. And moisturize seems to not work either.
It’s also awesome for pedicures when client has a lot of impacted dead skin under the corners (I’m not talking fungal). Because of its watery texture it flows in the folds nicely.
I use the Sally Hansen. Bought it in Germany a.long time ago, because it is not sold in stores in Denmark. I usually do a dry mani but every 4-5 times I use the remover. Thank you for the educational videos 👍
I made the mistake of leaving the Blue Cross on just a tiny bit too long and three of my toes got a bad reaction of tiny blisters. I even rinsed and soaked the skin for 20mins after feeling a slight burn...and nope, got the blisters anyway.
Hi Darlene! Yes, that is why it's so important to follow the instructions. Any of these products can cause irritation or even burn because they are very alkaline. Thank you for letting me know, I will make sure I will talk about this in my videos
Oh wow! Is your skin sensitive? I left it on for 4 minutes yesterday on one hand while I was doing the other and besides some slight tingling, there was no reaction
Blue Cross is my favorite. I got the Blue Cross creamy cuticle remover from Amazon today and I love it. So I use the thinner one for pedicure and the creamy one for manicure because its thicker and not so very runny. 👍🏻
I can only say "follow the manufacture advice". Maybe ask them if this would be a sufficient thing? Or a chemist like Doug Schoon. He has a channel as well. th-cam.com/channels/_d0EMp1QHZuuBQRvIecQPw.html
Hi Barnadette! I agree! Same goes for nail polish. Often they don't say if you should use it with base coat or top coat etc. Thank you for your comment! Anna
I always use the sally Hansen one but that cross one looks sooooo good I don’t even mind if it’s hella strong 😅😅 speaking of cuticles, what’s your opinion on those ‘Russian manicures’? The ones where they really really dig into the cuticle to get that hollowed out effect and it exposes more of the nail bed? would you ever do those or are they a bit high risk?
I'm going to take a stab at the "liquid nipper". Some people like the look where the cuticle and all the epidermis is cut away with cuticle nippers. Maybe this is supposed to remove all this without having to use nippers. Some people may not be good with nippers but want the look. (Sorry I didn't get the name of that area right) :)
Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover is hands down my favorite. It works very quickly and efficiently. Used it for years and I'm glad to see it is still the best compared to others imo. Could you do a video applying Orly or similar Nail Builder in a Bottle please?
Hi Frieda! I have done Orly “Builder in a Bottle video” It’s nice but I find soaking off product faster and it creates thinner nails. I’m more into natural nail care now. :).
What about the Mavala cuticle remover? I bought it and it's my first time ever to use one. I had overgrown cuticle and it gave me such a hard time to work with - not like how Blue Cross awesomely work in the video.
THE best thing for callous I found is Kerasal ointment. Use it daily and once a week use foot file to to a gentle (!!) gentle exfoliation. amzn.to/3fZ0nJL That's what I tell my clients to do and they don't have excess of callous anymore
Hey i just came across your video and it seems very helpful. I work in construction and i have brown Stain finger nails would one of those products help to get rid of the brown stains.
Would you use a cuticle remover before a enhancement service other than a regular polish? I was always told to just do dry cuticle work, but some people have more build up... I'd like to do an e-file course as soon as possible. But just curious about the cuticle remover before say a gel polish service 🙏🏼😌 thanks!
@TheSalonLife I hope this helps me too, cause my cuticles and fingertip skin is so bad. The very tips of the top edge of my nail is always hard, like I bite my nails and skin, but I don’t.

I don’t think there is a way. I got used to it’s consistency and I actually like it because it gets into all the groves. Have you seen me using it in my recent videos? I use a dropper with a round tip. Works great!
thats why I don't care for it. Its so messy to work with BUT it is the best so far. I have used all but that pink one. I also like the big one that didn't have a dropper.
Yes you can, depends on the person. Sometimes you have to put a little too much pressure on the nail to remove it and sometimes it comes off easy. You can definitely try. Especially after a shower, it should be easier :)
@@cyberpunklain I use pro linc. At Sally they told me that there is no big difference between all cuticle removers. Before I had Sally Hansen. Didn’t notice any difference in my case.
Liquid nipper is just like you said that it is like a cuticle clipper but takes off the cuticle without the cutters instead it does it in liquid form 😊
Douglas now sells tubes of polish remover cream that totally ROCKS: I apply with a finger, 60 seconds later ✨ EVEN GLITTER ✨ comes off with a tissue swipe. My nails & finger flesh have never felt less assaulted by remover. Obv there is somebody white labelling this for them & YOU NEED TO BRAND SOME
For sure! I’m honest on this channel. I would say my preference is Blue Cross (a little messy though) or Orly Cutique (in a bottle with a brush) When I’m on a computer I will give you some links to me doing my nails with Blue Cross.
You know…… if you are just using this on yourself you can use a regular soap. Like a old fashioned bar of soap. Main ingredient in cuticle removers is sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. They are also used in making soaps.
I have been on a quest to find out what is up with my fingernails. Thumbs, index, middle and ring fingers all have the same issue. Each corner at the tip gets incredibly sore, if I can magnify the area to look closely it's as if the nails grow out but down into the skin surrounding it. So, I can take toe nail clippers and wriggle it in under the overreaching fingernail and cut it. Within minutes it begins to subside the awful pain. And it looks as if an indentation is left behind from the nail digging in. I have cut the nail straight across, I have on an angle that makes it possible, I have done just about everything I know how to stop this from occurring but it keeps happening over and over again. Not all nails at once, not both corners of one nail at once, but always at least two suffering at a time. I am perplexed as this has never happened prior to my current age and stage in life. (56) Post-menopausal since age 45. When all hell broke loose with my body. I want to know what to call whatever condition this is. And figure out a way to fix it, and prevent it. It's so terribly painful. The pressure it puts on my finger tip skin makes touching things terribly painful. I also just noticed a slight red swollen looking, shiny skin above my nail bed. On each finger. Could my cuticles be causing this? I am truly at a loss. Could use some expert help. If you have the time I would really appreciate some input. ~Thank You~ 🌿🕊️💕🌍
Hi Wendy. It's unfortunate you are going through this. The best recommendation we can give you is to see your/a physician about your concern. If it is something outside of their field they may recommend you to see a podiatrist. Take care, hope you find a solution to your issue sooner than later. - MSL
Ah I see. Before doing a traditional manicure with cuticle remover I don't push anything back. The cuticle remover is supposed to soften the area so you can manipulate better. For dry manicures I push back the proximal nail fold, exposing cuticle and then I remove the cuticle tissue with a fine bit on a minimum speed.
Again, not sure what you mean? Dry manicure is a different technique. You need to push back the proximal nail fold to expose cuticle and then remove it. You are using 2 different tools for it. In traditional manicure you can do both with the same tool. Push back the proximal nail fold and then remove the cuticle from the nail plate. But it's easier to do it when the skin is soft from the cuticle remover.
I do dry manicures before any enhancements. For polish I haven’t experienced any issues with nail polish. Mind you, this product has to be neutralized with water and wiped very well before polish application.
Nail brightener. I have my 3 favourite ones listed in the description box :). I do wear all 3 of them. The Pink Gel Coat is beautiful but it’s a hardener so I wear it now every 4th mani. I don’t want to overdo it (and cause my nails to be brittle)
Yeah you should ask a man who works with his hands all day. I'm sure you give your man manicures cause his nails are nice. Testing this on someone who never gets Manis and uses their hands a lot would be more easily seen which products work the best!
Hi MSL here. I worked in automotive/hard labour jobs for my entire adult career, also competitive powerlifting, and a nail biter for 30 years. I don't have nice hands or nails naturally because of my profession and hobbies (also because I really don't care). The reason my hands do look as good as they do IS because Anna does manicures on me. She uses my hands because they are bad. It's to show that with regular manicures/maintenance and good products you can have nicer looking hands even in tradeswork. This is a great example that her methods and product selection do work. Have a great day! - MSL
Do you know if the Cuticle away has an expiration date? How long did you keep your bottles? I bought mine in 2020 it's still full as I stopped doing my nails for a while, I've been looking for an expiration date on the bottle with no success
Maybe we will, maybe, just maybe, I trimmed my feet for the occassion. Find out tomorrow during our TH-cam live video. (Normally 2pm EST but will be 3pm EST tomorrow) - Mr.Salon Life

Exactly right
I use it also I leave it on for 1 min then remove my cuticle then wash it all off and use oil and lotion
Same!
That's interesting, how people are so different. I've used Sally Hansen before didn't even get past ⅕th of the bottle it didn't really work.

Thanks for the review! I've always wanted to know how each of those work. 😃

His nails are in such great shape!
I have both the Sally Hansen and the Blue Cross. Even though the Blue Cross is really watery, it actually works the best for me.

I learnt a lot from this video. Cuticle or no cuticle ☺️
Thank you kindly! 🙏❣️
This is a fantastic video one of the best I have seen
thank you 🙏
Love your videos. Two questions-which cuticle remover is your favorite? Is a hang nail part of your cuticle?
Blue Cross currently. It's awesome :) Hangnail is not a part of cuticle. It's most likely a torn skin.
Can you do a review on callous remover? The in with liked is discontinued and I need a new one
THE best thing for callous I found is Kerasal ointment. Use it daily and once a week use foot file to to a gentle (!!) gentle exfoliation. amzn.to/3fZ0nJL

why didn't you put the pink one the first and let it sit while trying the other products
Good question. That would make a lot of sense
Is there a way to thicken the blue cross one.. I use it now but I HATE how runny it is
I don’t think there is a way. I got used to it’s consistency and I actually like it because it gets into all the groves. Have you seen me using it in my recent videos? I use a dropper with a round tip. Works great!

Is a cuticle remover necessary or can we just use a watery lotion in the interest of saving money/not accumulating tons of products?
Cuticle removers usually contain softening ingredients like sodium hydroxide. It's different than just watery lotion.

I am truly at a loss. Could use some expert help. If you have the time I would really appreciate some input.
~Thank You~

Hi Wendy. It's unfortunate you are going through this. The best recommendation we can give you is to see your/a physician about your concern. If it is something outside of their field they may recommend you to see a podiatrist. Take care, hope you find a solution to your issue sooner than later. - MSL
Do you push your cuticles back before the product application?
I'm not sure what you mean? Please check out this video for more info th-cam.com/video/CVSZ-xQ0ArE/w-d-xo.html
@@TheSalonLife I mean using a cuticle pusher to push back the cuticles before applying cuticle remover
Ah I see. Before doing a traditional manicure with cuticle remover I don't push anything back. The cuticle remover is supposed to soften the area so you can manipulate better.
For dry manicures I push back the proximal nail fold, exposing cuticle and then I remove the cuticle tissue with a fine bit on a minimum speed.
@@TheSalonLife that makes sense. Thank you so much. But why can't we use the same technique for dry manicures too?
Again, not sure what you mean? Dry manicure is a different technique. You need to push back the proximal nail fold to expose cuticle and then remove it. You are using 2 different tools for it.
In traditional manicure you can do both with the same tool. Push back the proximal nail fold and then remove the cuticle from the nail plate. But it's easier to do it when the skin is soft from the cuticle remover.
Team Super Nail all the way.
Lol I’m dying!! A douche hahaha you two kill me 🤣
Lol.
You two are funny!! “It smells like shampoo”
Kupa mani pro is the best efile.
I’ve never used it. Have you tried Erica MT20?
Have you found a problem with the blue cross causing lifting due to the lanolin?
I do dry manicures before any enhancements. For polish I haven’t experienced any issues with nail polish. Mind you, this product has to be neutralized with water and wiped very well before polish application.
I'm confused why the one that is a Blue Cross product. Also someone's comment got me to Google those old Palmolive commercial!
what do you have on yoru nails in this video, it's very natural and healthy looking.
Nail brightener. I have my 3 favourite ones listed in the description box :). I do wear all 3 of them. The Pink Gel Coat is beautiful but it’s a hardener so I wear it now every 4th mani. I don’t want to overdo it (and cause my nails to be brittle)
I don’t use cuticle removers. I feel they are useless. I use a cuticle oil and use the tools you used to push back my cuticles.
Yeah you should ask a man who works with his hands all day. I'm sure you give your man manicures cause his nails are nice. Testing this on someone who never gets Manis and uses their hands a lot would be more easily seen which products work the best!
Hi MSL here. I worked in automotive/hard labour jobs for my entire adult career, also competitive powerlifting, and a nail biter for 30 years. I don't have nice hands or nails naturally because of my profession and hobbies (also because I really don't care). The reason my hands do look as good as they do IS because Anna does manicures on me. She uses my hands because they are bad. It's to show that with regular manicures/maintenance and good products you can have nicer looking hands even in tradeswork. This is a great example that her methods and product selection do work. Have a great day! - MSL
I use to use CND cuticle eraser or CND cuticle away. I liked both until someone turned me on to Blue Cross.
Do you like the Blue Cross now more? I have to admit, I'm liking it more and more :)
I do like the Blue Cross more now. I was surprised at well it works for it not being a gel consistency.
Do you know if the Cuticle away has an expiration date? How long did you keep your bottles? I bought mine in 2020 it's still full as I stopped doing my nails for a while, I've been looking for an expiration date on the bottle with no success
The super nail one smells like hair products😂

Do his toes!

Too bad with all of the toxic chemicals in all of them.
Hi Cheryl! Which ingredient are you referring to?
