Cuticle Chronicles: Sally Hansen Cuticle Remover


Hello y'all! Here is finally another Cuticle Chronicles post! :)
Today I'm showing you the Sally Hansen Cuticle Remover. Cuticle removers, shockingly enough, remove your excess cuticles. You know the stuff that grows up over your moons? That stuff. With this stuff you just smear some on your cuticles, wait 2 minutes, and push back your cuticles with a manicure stick. Then wash your hands or you will die a slow and painful death. :D
As you can see, this guy is very easy to use and isvery inexpensive (less than $4) as well. This is the first cuticle remover I tried, and I like it quite a lot. My friends and I oo and ahh over the way our cuticles just slide off after applying it. I'm eager to try CND Cuticle Eraser, and CND Solar Oil. Hopefully my next CC post will be about the Cuticle Eraser, as I plan to buy it after I get home from Colorado.
What is y'all's favorite cuticle remover? Do you use a cuticle remover?

The Cuticle Chronicles: Sally Hansen Cuticle Pen

Yay for The Cuticle Chronicles! Today is post two in this series of everything cuticle-wise. :)
This little lovely is the Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle Pen. It's one of those little pens that you twist and it makes a clicky noise and goop comes out. Nice goop. I guess it's not really goop, it's a clear liquid that smells really good. Like almond flowers! I love that smell. :)
I also love this pen. It's ah-mazing. It sinks in quickly - I'd say about 5 minutes. And then your cuticles are happy and moisturized.
I bought this without any thought of it making my nails grow ... I'm generally pretty skeptical of anything that claims to grow my nails or whatever. But I've noticed that my nails have been growing particularly fast lately. Now this could just be a fluke-y thing, like maybe I've got some nail-growing hormones running wild in me right now or something, but I like to think that it's the result of this cuticle pen. :)

The Cuticle Chronicles: Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

Hey there! I know that lots of y'all are always looking for different treatments for your nails, so I've decided to start a series about cuticle creams/oils/removers, etc. I'm going to start off with my favorite cuticle cream, Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream.This stuff works wonders. I've gone through at least 2 tins of it ... and they're a pretty decent size. :) I'd advise putting it on at night, as it tends be a little greasy and dulls your polish until it soaks in. So you put it on before bed, let it soak in all night, and wake up with gorgeous cuticles! Plus it smells super good. Lemony but not lemon-cleaner smelling. Oh, and did I mention that Burt's Bees is an organic line? I love anything organic, my family is all into being 'green'. All of Burt's Bees stuff is at least 90 or 95% organic, I believe. I also swear by their lip balm. Looove it. :)
You can find this cuticle cream at most drugstores and grocerys. Drugstore.com has it for $5.99, but I believe mine cost more like $4.
