I've been using Blue Cross for more than 13 years. Your video is the very first one that shows the same method that I use and I am not a trained tech. I've just been doing my nails for several decades, my grandmother was a cosmetology instructor so I have learned the best method through her knowledge and my own experience. When I discovered your channel I was so very thankful that what you teach is gentle care. I see so many nail techs being so rough with prep and don't seem to care much or achieve the results the prep is supposed to achieve, even world champions and reknowned techs. I tell every person I come into contact with that has questions to come to your channel and binge watch everything.
How long does a bottle last because mine doesn't have that jar symbol on it?
I poured some in a little tiny bottle and I don't think it will finish in a year, yet I have the main blue cross bottle and it looks like I have 10+ years worth in it😅
I'm a nail tech and I have been using Blue Cross from a dropper for years! So nice to have this validation ;-) It really is the best AND not expensive - which is amazing.
I started using this product after learning about it from a different site, but I have learned much more about it and nails and cuticles in general from you so I appreciate that!
Dear Anna, thank you so much for giving us a thorough clarification about using a Blue Cross cuticle remover.
This video was great! I’ve been using this cuticle remover for a while and you’ve given me some great tips to improve my process
I am SO glad I found your video and page!!! I’ve been doing my cuticles and nails all wrong, no wonder I do not see any improvement. Buying all your recommendations and cannot wait to see the results in several weeks!! Thank you!!!
I love your content! Not have my nails gotten much better but your voice is so very soothing that I listen to your tutorials and your voice helps me sleep!! Thank you !
I discovered Blue Cross only a couple years ago. It is the best! I use it just as you described and also love the tweezerman cuticle pusher.
Also, after seeing your video where you recommended against soaking nails, and also to use base and top coats of the same brand as the polish, my manicures last much longer. I am not a nail tech but have been doing my own nails since I was a teenager. Every magazine article advised to soak the nails to soften cuticles, and the times I have gotten professional manicures they all do the same. Thank you for showing us a better way!
I've been using blue cross for years. I'm glad you told us about rinsng it off good after working on the circle because it use to sting after working on cuticle. I learn a lot from your videos even though I was a Cosmetologest years ago lol. Keep up the good work 😊.
I started using blue cross thanks to your videos. I love it! I recently started using the Q tip method with application, also because of your videos, and I no longer waste any. Love your videos!
I have had this for a while and I appreciate the guidance on using because I always thought it was so watery!
I just stumbled onto your channel and I am so excited to find you. I have been using BC for about 10 years but I’ve destroyed my nails being too rough and aggressive with everything and I should have let them heal better after chemo. I am trying to heal them now with a product my oncologist suggested I try. I’m going to binge watch all of your videos! Thanks for slowing down and explaining everything so well!
This is the best video! I've been using this remover all wrong! Thank you for showing us how!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is my first time ever doing a manicure with cuticle remover. I was a bit nervous but your instructions were clear & made it very easy.
I love Blue Cross cuticle remover. I drop some into an empty nail polish bottle and use the brush to apply it. That bottle lasts well over a year. I think I have had mine maybe two years and I've barely used any. This is a great video! I've learned so much more about my favorite product.
Hello
Love your videos.
I feel the same way you did about using the blue cross years ago. I too like very much now. I use your regimen to do my manicures now. I truly love it.
Thank you
Just bought this, and i was really hoping to see someone use it without being rough. Tysm for showing us how to use this properly! Im excited to try it.
Thank you so much for the video. I’ve grown long natural nails for 34 years and just used whatever store brand was available. Within the last year started doing enhancements on myself because from smoking my pointer and middle finger would split from filing off the staining. I realize quitting would be better all the way around but it is an awfully hard and bad habit to break.
I’m so excited I found your channel. My nails have started to become damaged in the last few months. I used this method to remove my cuticles and was mind blown by the amount removed. I’ve definitely been doing it wrong. I did my first warm oil treatment today and I’m going bare nails for the first time in a year. I’ll definitely still be painting my nails but I will give my nails a break once a week so I can do the hot oil treatment.
I have been using Blue Cross for about three years, a friend of mine who is an esthetician told me about it, but most definitely did not give these kind of instructions 😳 So glad you created this video! I had most of the tools you recommended, so I got everything out and followed along with you. Ordering the Tweezerman Pushy through your links. Many thanks for creating this video!
Thank you. Your nails look amazing. Wished you lived near me to take care of my natural nails but I am following your guidance👍
Hey, I’ve been using it for years also, I just picked it up years ago in Sally’s’s, and I’ve never used anything else since. I had to learn how to use it as well, but it’s really the best cuticle remover that I’ve used.
Thanks so much for this. I think consistency, like you mentioned, is my biggest weakness in regards to getting my nails and cuticle area into shape. Will give this a try! LOVING the Dazzle Dry polish system, learned about it from you -- would never go back to anything else. Used to be able to have polished nails for 24 or maybe 48 hours without chips, not I can go a week without any chipping with DD. :)
I have both Orly and Essie cuticle removers but this one looks so much more effective. When the video started I was thinking "she doesn't have any cuticle showing"! I will DEFINITELY be ordering Blue Cross. And the Tweezerman tool. Thank you for yet another great lesson.
Great tip for home DIYs re after gel & cuticle removal, waiting for nail to thoroughly dry before reapplying polish. I will now remove, leave bare nails overnight then repolish the next morning. Thank you, I'm always learning something new.
i have been using a few years now as you say it was a little too runny at first but then seeing how it works i love i have not used anything else thanks for the info
Blue Cross is great! I've been using it for about a year now; it's helpful in improving my mani just like watching your videos has been. Many thanks. 😊
Yes, it has been part of my weekly care routine since I started watching your channel. And yes, indeed I really like how well it works. It is a very important step because it cleans the cuticle off the nail bed so nicely. My nails are growing out smoothly evenly. I think blue cross is a great product.
I really like the Blue Cross cuticle remover. It works so well with so little effort. Before I bought it, I had read a comment review that said do not leave it on the nail, rinse thoroughly (much like you stated). Two of my toenails have some damage separation (due to an accident) and I squirt some of this underneath, then clean there. It helps relieve build up in those places. My nails stay healthy looking using this product on a regular basis. I cringe at seeing people trim their cuticles and don't do that myself. I think your method keeps the nails and cuticles nice looking. Thank you so much for the explanation of how and why to do cuticle care this way!
Another wonderfully informative video. Thank you for the warning about potassium hydroxide. I have dyshidrotic eczema and the skin on my hands breaks out very easily.
Blue Cross is amazing, it works so fast and removes so much. Thank you for recommending it!
Thank you for showing me the proper way of using this cuticle remover, I’ve learned a lot from this video
I’ve recently discovered your channel and videos like this one have helped me a lot! I was confused about a few key components of manicuring and you’ve cleared up exactly what I need to be doing. In the 3 weeks or so since I’ve found you, my nails have already transformed in a very positive way. Thanks so much for the practical instructions! Your work is beautiful. 😊
Glad it helped!
pushing back after using cuticle remover is my favorite part of the manicure too. I also think its very satisfying !
I'm so impressed with everything about this video. It's a game changer for sure, I can't wait to do my next manicure. Thank you!
Your videos contain much needed information. I now do my own nails with confidence because all that I’ve learned from you. I had dip and gels for 25 years, and went cold turkey in Feb. It’s taken time for my healthier nails to grow out, and I knew I had to be patient. At first I was fighting terrible hang nails but I’m past that, the nail fold has softened, and the cuticles are under control. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on your channel.
Hello Sue, thank you for your message! Proper skin care is the key to prevent torn skin around the nails.
I find when i do my cuticles the tool catches on my vertical nail ridges. Love your channel. Many blessings to the both of you!
Hi Yvette! You might wanna try a glass tool like this. Just use it very very gently!
th-cam.com/video/Pz6oW0BGbEc/w-d-xo.html
My nails are healing after wearing gels and acrylics for almost 10 years straight! I bought blue cross and it worked well. Your videos have been a life saver.
Thank you so much for educating us. My nails are thanking you 💅🏻
I found your video shortly before i bought it, so I've been able to add it to my routine without any problems.
I put mine in a new empty nail polish bottle and brush the remover onto my cuticles from the first application on the first nail i set a timer for 5 minutes. I apply over and over again as needed on all the nails, and then rinse off , then i use the cuticle pusher tool to gently scrape it off and it's so satisfying.
Removers I've used before were not very good at all. This is perfect.
I got it after seeing it on your channel and I loooove this one! ❤️ I have put some into a small bottle with a brush for easier application :)
Because you mentioned it in previous videos I use it too and I'm very content.
Thank you.
I ordered my first bottle of this after watching your channel. It just came in today! I figured I’d watch this video before using the product- GLAD I did!!! Thanks for your education!! I love your channel. 🖤
Wonderful!
I just bought my first bottle of Blue Cross and can’t wait to try it! Your video contains a lot of useful information and tips. Thank you 😊
Wonderful! Thank you for writing!
I have used Blue Cross for a few years. I live in England and it is quite expensive but really worth it. I heard about it watching videos by The Meticulous Manicurist on TH-cam. I have just discovered your videos and I am binge watching. So many great tips: I have put little bottles of almond oil next to the soap and hand cream beside every sink in the house to use each time I wash my hands. I have also put my Blue Cross in a clean, empty nail polish bottle for easy application. The bottle was full of nail hardener which I poured out into the garbage: I was using it as a basic treatment. What a mistake! Thank you so much for your incredible videos: informative but also really soothing and entertaining to watch.
I'm a new subscriber, and I've been watching your videos for a few days.
I have been using Blue Cross for a few years with great success, tried other products, but have not liked it as much.
I am not a professional, but I've been doing my own, and sometimes my children's, manicure and pedicure for over 30 years.
Thank you for the video and sharing your knowledge.
I’m so happy I happened upon your channel! You are so informative. I have never heard of any of this stuff. I have never had issue with my nails or cuticles until the past few years in the winter. I’m going to follow your instructions on your videos and start paying attention to my nails. What is the brand of the nail file you use, and where can I buy one. Thank you for your videos!
I love this video. I've learned a lot about how to care for my nails. I've been doing my manicures WRONG all this time! I've watched so many videos about how to treat cuticles, and all of them snip the "living skin" off. I've tried that so many ways, and every time it hurts and I'm always left with at least one finger bleeding. And a few days after I've cut off the "cuticle" (now i know as living skin) I get these tiny hang nails from where I cut off the hood. For years I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.... but I kept doing what everybody was doing. NOW I KNOW BETTER!!!!! I've been educated by your video... not just told what to do. I just finished giving myself a manicure (the wrong way and left with 2 bloody fingers this time) and I used Blue Cross cuticle remover for the first time. I wasn't impressed. So I did a TH-cam search on how to use it and I found your video. I now know why I wasn't impressed.... I wasn't using it correctly. OOPS! To use up... after watching your video I'm looking forward to my manicure next week... doing it the right way and using Blue Cross correctly. Thanx!😊
Excellent video Missy. Now I can do it correctly. Thank you!!
I used to get stubborn cuticle that would cling to the proximal nail fold as the nail grew. The proximal nail fold would tear and be really painful. When I started gently removing the dead cuticle just as you describe that problem completely resolved. Thank you!
Love this demo Anna ❤
Old school remover that never fails. Got mine last week after using several that failed. Ran across this one on Amazon!
This stuff is magic!! Got it for my birthday🥰 (thought this is the perfect gift to ask for) Seen you using it for so long and now I finally have it and can’t be more excited about it!!🤩😍 Love it! Thank YOU🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy birthday!!❤️🤗
@@TheSalonLife thank you!🩷
Since watching your videos, I have been using blue cross . Thank you, you’re the best Anna 😍
Great to hear! Thank you :))
Great product. I have used it for 32 years along with the CND remover. ❤
Your voice & demo is so comforting & peaceful! I came because Im using cuticle remover, specifically Blue Cross, for the first time & I wanted some additional info. Thanks! :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! Did your video help? I find leaving it on for 2 minutes is sometimes necessary
Here is most recent video about cuticle removal
The best way to remove a cuticle! [and the easiest!!]
th-cam.com/video/I8ByJdrpnFs/w-d-xo.html
Hi Anna! I’ve been using blue cross for several years and it’s my favorite cuticle remover! I learned a lot from watching this video though!! Like not leaving it on longer than a few minutes! The skin around my nails used to peel and likely from me leaving it on too long! 😮😮 love your channel!! 💅🏻🥰
This is so helpful. Thanks! I use the blue Sally Hansen cuticle remover and a wooden nail stick. I've been having issues with my nail flaking while I scrape off the cuticle, which makes me think it's the cuticle remover...
This is wonderful! I’ll be trying this!
THANK YOU! One video…SO MUCH INFORMATION! My whole life I’ve thought the cuticle was that whole skin shelf below the skin. Easy to follow and I have the Blue Cross and a version of all those tools.
QUESTION: For a year or more, I’ve had a vertical crack in my nail (comes from the nail bed and moves upward, instead of tears that go from side to side). It’s the worst kind of snag and I can’t file it away since it’s vertical. Nothing seems to help. Any ideas or thoughts? Anyone else?
Just used this method. Such a great improvement for me. Have you considered educating blue cross on proper cuticle terminology 😝?
So helpful. I still struggle with this part of the manicure.
I am so glad I found you on TH-cam! I am 75, and my nails have always been thin, peeling and break easily. As I have gotten older my nails split horizontally. To keep the split nails from hanging and tearing I use a gel polish on them. I just found your video about soaking in warm oil and will start to do this. I so hope the soaking will stop the splits. Do I need to soak more often than once a week at first. Am I wrong to keep gels on my nails? Does it do more harm then good? Thank you!
This is very informative! Thank you!!!! ❤
I LOVE blue cross ! have been using it for years.
Blue + is the best ever. I've been using it for at least 25 years!
Fantastic demonstration.
Glad you liked it!
Anna
Excellent video! Thank you! 🙏🏾
That stuff works amazing. You didn’t even look like you had any skin until you started taking it out. You have amazing nails there’s no hope for mine I keep acrylics on bc my nails are so weak. My cuticles are another story I’m constantly cutting bc I feel like when you see it it looks very messy.
The reason your nails could be weak is from the acrylics--I stopped using dip, acrylic, gel---took all of Anna's advice and my nails are in such great shape I cant believe they are mine! I use Dazzle Dry exclusively and not only does the polish last for weeks but my nails NEVER break, split, peel or get stained.
That was so satisfying to watch. However, your nails are nice and smooth with no ridges. How would you do this on a nail that is heavily ridged?
Hello The Salon Life. Do you know what the shelf life is of Blue Cross? I purchased mine years ago and not sure if it’s still good. I just recently started taking care of my nails again and enjoy the detailed instructions in your videos.
Right, just off to Amazon to buy some Blue Cross and a Tweezerman pushy. I can do this!
I use Blue Cross, but I guess I haven't been doing it right. Normally, I put on the product, let it sit, and then use a cuticle pusher. Then I wash my hands.
Honestly, my cuticles never get removed that good. I will try to do it the way you do. Thanks for the video!
I use it the same way!!! Lol
Great information! I am an older woman and all of my nails have lots of ridges . I follow your wonderful nail care instructions. My question is, I have difficulty scraping the cuticle from my nails after using Bluecross. I'm gentle but the tool doesn't glide over my ridges like your nice smooth nails. Any tips? How about a video on really ridgy nails even worse than Mr. Salon's! 😁
Yes!
Me too! My ridges are horizontal and I feel like I need the equivalent of a spackle base coat in order to get smooth nails.
Same question. Also will this method work better than the glass file cuticle pusher method?
All good questions! I have the same ones
I have ridge ridden nails also. Only gel looks smooth on me. Regular lacquer shows all the ridges.
So satisfying to watch. I also bought Blue Cross Cuticle Remover thanks to your recommendation and am so happy. I wish I´d known about it years ago. People were always amazed how long and strong my nails were and assumed they were false when I was younger, but now they aren´t the same anymore and I suppose that has to do with age? Anyway, I hope to have them the same again as before.
Is buffing the nails to make them shine bad?
Anna has discussed this in past videos. Buffing will remove layers of nail plate and weakens it, so it is not recommended.
Love that stuff Blue Cross works magic and I always have thick cuticles because I have worker hands
Yes, I use it as well, and I love it!
Hi, Anna! Thank you so much for the video❤ what's your opinion on the CND cuticle remover? Is it worse than the one you use in this video?
Helpful. Thank you.
Brilliant video! Thank you! Shared with my friends
Awesome, thank you!
Just followed your video to remove my cuticles for the first time! Your instructions were very clear and straight forward. Though I have to ask, how do I know I've scratched off only the cuticle and not my nail?
Hello :) Cuticle should come off easily. If you are putting pressure you are probably scratching the nail
Anna, I followed the amazon link here to Blue Cross and I see they have a CREAM remover too- states for “dry manicures.”
Do you recommend this one as well?
For these watching in the US, Dollar Tree sells bottles with a dropper @ 2 for $1.25 They look the same as in this video only with a black lid.
so satisfying - cant wait to try it
Let me know what you think.... :)
Thankfully I've never had problems with my cuticles. I yes warm soapy water and just a routine of soft nudges.😊💖
The only time you need to remove the cuticle is before nail polish application. Here is updated video:
th-cam.com/video/I8ByJdrpnFs/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video. Very well explained and informative. I ordered the cuticle remover and can’t wait to try it the way you do it. What is the oil that you use at the end?
It's a little peach-smelling treat :) It's an oil from NCLA Peach/Vanilla NCLA Peach/Vanilla Oil bit.ly/3t78J7p
And here is a 10% off code from Beyond Polish- TSL10
Got the cuticle remover and played your video again and did step by step with you. Perfect results. So satisfying. Thank you again. I don’t have the oil but applied the “hard as hoof” cream on my nails. 😊
Hi Anna thank you so much for the clear instructions! I am so interested in everything about nails as I have been biting them since I was a toddler! Sometimes I manage not to, and I am so glad to be in this no-biting-phase now. It helps to care about manicure as it increases the motivation! I wonder where to get the small buffers you are using? All the rest I already have, and with your videos I really get encouraged to keep on caring! It is so humiliating to have bitten nails and I wish I could leave it behind me! Thank you again, I wish you all the success you deserve!! With warm greetings Franca
Very interesting! I typically use Deborah Lippmann as it doesn't contain animal products. I have learned that 100% never leave any cuticle remover on too long- just as Anna says- it can damage the skin around the nail. Anna and MSL do you have any plans to create videos swatching the new Dazzle Dry collections? Fall and winter. I so look forward to your swatch videos!
Hi Judith! We have a very hard time getting the products to Spain and we are looking for someone who would travel from USA to Spain to bring it with them. Cosmetics are on a restricted list in Spain and are not allowed to be shipped from outside of EU ;(
As soon as get the new colors I will definitely swatch them. I can't wait!
PS. Are you a vegan? What is the reason for you not using animal based ingredients? Just curious :))
@@TheSalonLife Ahhh now I understand. I suppose because so many products are readily available in the US and that you are such a wonderful spokesperson for Dazzle Dry the thought never crossed my mind that it was a hardship for you to get the Dazzle Dry products. I'm sorry for that. Did you originally get the products when you were living in Canada? Is it challenging for you to keep your salon stocked?
Yes, you are correct, I am vegan and have been for 30 years.
Thank you once again for sharing your wealth of knowledge, expertise and advice. I credit you for improving the health and condition of my nails when no one else could...some may think this is trivial, frivolous ...but I can assure them it is not...split, broken, nails that snag hair, fabric, and are painful impact daily life and their awful appearance impacts individual's confidence in their appearance. I sincerely thank you ( and MSL) for improving people's lives.
@@judithhershkowitz7093 hi, I'm curious since I was planning to buy this cuticle remover, is it not vegan? I wanted a good product to start my gentle manicure and I'm vegan too!
Hello Eleonora, it contains lanolin so it's not vegan. My next favourite is Cutique by Orly. It is vegan amzn.to/3HoSkTz
This video was great! Thank you so much. I was wondering: how do you know if you are removing cuticle or the top layer of your nails? How far out will the cuticle go if you've never done this? When I was scraping my cuticle off it seemed like it went half way down my nail, but I've never done this before so I'm not sure if that could be possible?
Please see these 2 videos which should make this issue more clear.
How to start taking care of your nails:
th-cam.com/play/PLnP7qaKYlbX5R549SguUizXDGmslD0C4d.html
I just used Blue Cross for the first time and it worked well. Though my bottle has a thicker consistency than what you show. I don't think i could make it work in a droppper bottle. If i wanted to thin it out what would i use? Distilled water maybe?
Thank you for your videos, and I have a question: I've been following along with this video for quite some time now, and the dead cuticle comes off with the Tweezer Man pusher, just like you use. However, it always leaves the living skin in a mess, with a lot of little pieces sticking up, but when I try to snip them off it usually leaves a bigger mess than I started with, and my nails never look nice and smooth around the outside - they look very raggedy all the time. I don't like to try and cut more because it will look worse and I'm afraid I'll get an infection. My cuticle clippers are a very good brand but need sharpening very badly, but I've never found a place that does that. I just did a manicure now, following along as usual, and my nails do not look good at all - the dead cuticle comes off really easily, but again, the skin around looks awful, and I don't know what I can do about this. One nail especially always has a very thick nail fold which usually has a big catch in it, but I don''t want to hack away at it with those dull cuticle clippers. Any suggestions? The actual nails feel smooth but the outside are not at all, and I've been doing everything exactly as you show in this video, bit it doesn't ever look better. Thank you in advance.
I use blue cross every week. I keep it in a nail polish bottle I bought online.
I’m excited to follow your instructions. I’m confused though because your link for the ordinary bottle is to a bottle with some kind of liquid in it rather than an empty bottle. Can you clarify the link to an actual empty bottle with this special tip? And thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Hi J. The bottle that we used had product (Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%) in it prior. Once the bottle was empty we cleaned it out and then reused it for Blue Cross application.
I hope that clarifies things. :)
-MSL
@@TheSalonLife yes, it does clarify, thank you.
I have this and love it.
I bought the Blue Cross cream , with lanolin. I like it but it is hard to get a small amount at a time
This is a wonderful before/after tutorial! I’ve never seen cuticle being obviously removed with the push tool! I am going to amazon immediately to purchase that Blue➕cuticle remover!
What is your opinion on the glass cuticle pusher? It has a pointed end on one side and the other is shaped like a wooden cetixle pusher. I use it very gently for dry manicures. I also use a small class file where you would use the metal one on the sidewalls.
Thank you for your helpful videos and TIA if you can respond to my question!
She has a video where she has a glass cuticle pusher and she really likes it. You might find it in her video library.
@@xpresson6338 Thank you, I did find it and learned how to use mine correctly…which I was not doing!
Hi Carol, yes, here is the video:

I don’t need this for my hands but ooh boy do I need it for my toenails 😅
