Question Cuticle Remover or just oil to soften? - 06-02-07, 10:47 AM

Hello, I was just wondering what the majority of people used before removing the cuticle - a cuticle remover or simply just an oil to soften? If you do use a remover can you recommend one.

I use Cuticle Remover by Creative while doing a prep for enhancements and if doing Manicures and Pedicures after prepping the nail I apply A.H.A Cuticle Eraser from Creative with a little drop of Solar Oil and rub in I find this is great for any suborn little bits that wont shift and it keeps the cuticle lovely and soft hths

I use cuticle eliminator, and was stunned to see the gunk that came away the first time I used it.


I used to just soak, oil and push with an orange wood stick as taught in my course..

Switched to cuticle eliminator and a metal pusher/scraper.
OMG

My lifting issues dissappeared

Just out of curiosity, how do you rinse/remove your cuticle remover? With a clean wet nailwipe or get the client to rinse in water?
