Dissolve Dry Cuticles In Seconds With Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover - Review

Have you ever gone for a manicure and had your dry cuticles removed? A cuticle remover stick is used to cut off the dry cuticles and if the technician is not soft handed, it can leave you with cuts or simply ugly looking cuticles. I used to remove my own cuticles using the same method until I came across the Instant Cuticle Remover from Sally Hansen.

Dissolve Dry Cuticles In Seconds With Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover - Review


The Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover comes in a little bottle with a screw cap. It is a light blue coloured liquid gel. The bottle cap is like a dropper so that you can easily apply the liquid around your cuticles. The way to use this product is pretty simple. Clean your hands, apply the liquid to the cuticle area and let it sit for 15 seconds. Then wash off your hands - that is it - no need to push the cuticles or cut them off!

For most of my nails it worked perfectly. One nail had an extremely dry cuticle so I had to leave it on a bit longer. It leaves behind clean looking nails and all the dry cuticle dissolves away.

Bliss Kiss Simply Pure Hydrating Oil Pen, Simply Peeled Latex Barrier & Simply Sealed Lotion Stick Review

I always used to complain about having extremely dry cuticles. No matter how much I keep my hands moisturised my cuticles would end up dry through the day. While searching for a good solution  to my problem I landed up on a company called Bliss Kiss. I am sure a lot of you out there who are regular nail artists would swear by their products. But for girls like me who are still climbing the ladder towards gorgeous nails I am going to share all the product I go from Bliss Kiss and how they help.

So I got three products from Bliss Kiss, the Simply Pure Hydrating Oil Pen, Simply Sealed Lotion Stick (mini) and the Simply Peeled Liquid Latex Barrier.

First of all let me tell you about the Simply Peeled Liquid Latex Barrier. Normally when you apply polish or do nail art like stamping you can get a lot of polish on the skin around the nails. This is where a Liquid Latex Barrier comes in handy. Simply apply it around the nails, do your nail art, and peel of this latex - it lifts off all the extra polish that you painted around the nail bed. (I have also reviewed something similar called Liquid Palisade - you can check the review HERE)

Another great use of this product is that you can apply it all over your nail bed like normal polish. Once it dries off you can paint your polish and do your nail art on top of it. Once you are done, you have clicked all the pictures you needed, all you do is peel it all off and you have your bare nails again. As simple as that.

Simply Peeled Liquid Latext Barrier comes in a polish bottle and is white in color. After drying it turned transparent but it has glitter in it. So once it dries you can still see the glitter which helps you easily peel it off.

I have been using this quite a lot lately while swatching different polishes and it comes in very handy. Applying it close to the nail bed is not an issue as the brush is nicely shaped and moves fluidly around the curved part of the nail bed as well.

Price: $11.99

Next product that I have been using is the Simply Pure Hydrating Oil Pen - this is a mix of oils that help cure dryness and it comes in a twistable pen form. The applicator part of this pen is brush that is made of very soft bristles. You need to twist the bottom part of the pen so that a little bit of oil comes up through the brush. Then simply brush it all around your nails. If you have week nails you can also apply it over your nails as well (specially after a manicure)

As you can see the oil is very light and non greasy, It gets absorbed quickly. From the pictures you can see I am already nearing the finish line with my pen because I love applying this. My cuticles have started looking better. I still get dry cuticles on days that I wash my hands too much and don't moisturise at all. But overall I have had days when I could feel happy about the way my cuticles looked.

Price: $5.99

I also got a mini size of the Simply Sealed Lotion Stick. This is like an amalgamation of healing oils and vaseline that has been thickened into a stick form. It is meant for hydrating your hands and cuticles. The stick form makes it super easy to carry around. It is easy to simply apply this all over your hands as well. So when I need only cuticle protection I use the hydrating oil pen and at other times I simply use this lotion stick all over my hands and nails.

ColorBar No Fuss Emery Tipped Cuticle Sticks Review

I love painting my nails and learning new nail art techniques. I have always shied away from getting a manicure done because each time the lady would try to clean my hands and nails it would feel ticklish (now don't laugh, its true, it does feel ticklish!)

So I have always done my nails myself and cleaning the cuticles is always the scariest part for me. Scary because I know a little mistake and I could damage the skin on my fingers. Oh and why am I tellong you all this, well I won a small facebook contest by colorbar sometime back and they sent me these No Fuss Emery Tipped cuticle sticks. I tried them and liked them a lot and decided to share them here with you all.

There are 6 sticks in one pack and they come in a plastic pack with a zip lock on top. Inside there are two plastic caps for the sticks in case you wish to carry one of these in your purse, you can cover the ends in those plastic caps so that the stick will not cause any damage to other things around it.

Each stick has two ends.  One side is emery board tipped. The other end has either a flat bed for pushing the cuticles back or is pointed to clean under the nail.
