Love the curing length options on this. You have a flash cure option and then multiple time settings.

I don’t think there is an OG quite like this. I’ve been using this for years! I’ve tried others but I normally come back to this because of the price point
Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover
My favorite oil! The scents are good-some are better than others. I will say they are very true to scent! This is a more watery oil so you only need a little bit. The bottle has lasted me a long time

Idk what exactly is in this. But I’ve been lovvvving this. I now use this one consistently! It almost just melts the cuticle away. I have to do WAY less pushing and scrubbing to get the cuticle off
