Learn all about nails with Christina Jones
This is - bar none - the best cuticle remover on the market. Blue Cross is super inexpensive, but can, again, be a bit hard to find. Again, Sallys Beauty Supply carries it, and you can sometimes find it in a drugstore. This is an inexpensive product, and the best one made. Don’t even bother with the drugstore varieties, they are worthless and will dry your cuticles out in the long run.

About Nail Tech Secrets
The Nail Tech Secrets that you see today was my first foray into writing about beauty online. The site originated in January 2005 as a good old handwritten html site, taken from the manuscripts of a book I was writing while staying at home taking care of my seriously ill husband. A few months later I put it on blog software, then in December 2005, my romance with WordPress began, and the result is the site you see now. I ebb and flow in my tending of NTS, but if you want to learn to do manicures and pedicures yourself, explore the categories and you will find lots of in depth information. And I hope you will subscribe to my email updates and get the latest and greatest nail news, tips and how to's from Nail Tech Secrets!

Nail Tech Secrets » Step Four: Push Your Cuticles Back

[...] Going back to the first hand, put it back into the warm water for about 2 minutes. Remove it, dry it off, and then spray the fingertips with a spray or two of your Blue Cross Cuticle Remover. This is the best product out there (if you didn’t get that earlier—I am not a representative for them at all, just a very satisfied customer). With your metal pusher, GENTLY push your cuticles back. Spray more Blue Cross as your cuticles dry out. Watch for the cuticle skin that is very tightly attached to your nail. This is what needs to be pushed back. If this is a first time manicure, you may have a thin tough layer of cuticle grown nearly all the way up your nail. Scrape off what you can scrape off, and push back what you cannot scrape off. If you are fighting with this step, put your fingertips back into the warm water for a few minutes, then spray some more Blue Cross on them. Do not obsess about this, more damage can be done here than anywhere else in the manicure process. This skin will become trained to stay back after a few manicures, and your work here will be greatly minimized. Whatever you do, do not push back cuticles so aggressively that you cut your skin. Save clipping with cuticle nippers for later. Repeat with the other hand. [...]
