Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Cuticle Eraser + Balm

I have a review today on Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Cuticle Eraser + Balm. I bought this purely because it was swirly and green. Way to bait me in Sally Hansen, you sneaky devil! 


What it claims...
Combination remover and creme quickly eliminates excess, ragged cuticles & hangnails as it conditions nails and cuticles. The result is instantly, healthy, beautiful, conditioned cuticles that look up to 80% smoother. 
2-in-1 formula with white tea & cucumber gently & quickly loosen & exfoliates stubborn, overgrown cuticles while leaving skin feeling deeply moisturized.
Helps prevent hangnails and promotes healthy nail growth.
Directions from Sally Hansen website
Massage a small amount into cuticles until completely absorbed. Use a cuticle pusher, if needed to help further loosen hard to remove cuticles. Use daily for maximum benefits. Wash hands before applying polish. 



So...I really enjoy this stuff. It has a mild cucumber smell. It does a great job at moisturizing. I hate when certain moisturizers make my hands/nails feel like I dipped them in oil. Not with this! It's creamy and massages into the skin quickly. My cuticles have this nice clean feeling afterwards. I massage the balm into my cuticles and then I use a cuticle pusher. I then massage any excess product back into my cuticles. It is good to use everyday, quick and effective. One thing I really like is that it is a cuticle remover but it is not harsh. I've used some products that dry my nails out. I'll definitely purchase this again. 
Hope you enjoyed.

Until next time,
Don't spill your polish:)

Ouch! SOB! Ouch! (Graphic Naked Nail Warning)

As I mentioned on my FB page, my nails became really dry because I have been painting in my house. It doesn't help that I'm a server and nurse...Constantly washing and using sanitizer on my hands. Some of my cuticles tore and I accidentally stabbed my pinkie while reaching into my purse (on a stupid bobby pin!). I decided to show you guys how I aid in the healing process (remember this is what helps ME and I just wanted to share. Everyone has their own process). 
WARNING NAKED NAIL (LOL!!)

OUCH!


All I use is antibacterial ointment on my torn cuticles and wrap them in band aids while I sleep. This is a prescription that I have but you can use something like Neosporin or a generic version. Simple enough and really helps. If this has happened to you, do you notice that the finger will swell? Freakin' hurts!! 

Until next time,
Don't spill your polish:)

PS: While my cuticles heal, I'm going to do a few reviews on different nail items.

Help!!!!I

I have been to embarrassed to post lately. I have a huge problem.......dry cuticles. We are talkin' peeling, tearing and bleeding:( This is the worst winter I have experienced. I don't think it helps when I'm at the hospital for school and constantly have to use hand sanitizer/wash my hands. Here is what I HAVE USED....

-Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream
-CND Solar Oil
-OPI Avoplex
-Qtica Intense Cuticle Repair Balm
-A couple Sally Hansen (not sure the name). One was in a green click pen and the other was in a yellow click pen.
-The only lotion I've liked for my hands is Aveeno hand lotion and Lubriderm with AHA.

If anyone has any advice that would be amazing!! I have so much new polish I want to show you! Thanks guys.

Until next time,
Don't spill your polish:)
