        Great product but drying to my hands

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product as it really helped me take care of my dry lifting cuticles. I love the nozzle on the tip of the bottle which made it easy to apply the product onto the cuticle area. At first, I squeezed out too much, but I was able to rub my other hand on it and get it onto my other cuticles so it was easy to distribute. I love the little cuticle pusher that came in the set, made it easy to push back my cuticles and to gently buffer around the area. But what I disliked was that after I washed my hands and washed the extra product off, my cuticles were really really dry. I needed to apply it oil that’s only drawback, but I enjoyed using this product.

        Great cuticle remover product

        3 months ago
        I just got this product today. Really good quality cuticle remover. I suffer with really dry cuticles (I am a cuticle biter) and have tried other products, but I rate this very highly. Couple of drops to each nail cuticle massage in for 15 secs, then gently push cuticles with cuticle tip, remove dry skin flakes with nippers, then rinse in warm water, clean off with soft nail brush and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. I then did a normal mani. By removing the old dry skin, your nails look super neat and polish looks better. Thank you Essie for a great product. I will now try your nail polish!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Soft and buffers!

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] #complimentary #nailcare #essielove @influenster @essie i received this product in exchange for my honest review from Essie and Influenster. I totally like to spoil myself and get my nails done by other people 💅🏼 but I’m between visits, and all of the holiday dish washing destroyed my gel polish. In comes Essie. This came in the mail just in time for Christmas (and my husband coincidentally bought me “in between” polish so yesterday I gave myself a manicure. My nail beds are are now looking nice, and this helped buff the scratchiness of gel coming off without the help of acetone. Great product and soft on your nails!

        excellent except product application wasteful

        a year ago
        I love this product! It works great at removing cuticles, better than any product I've used - is thicker and more penetrating. My only issue - why I deleted a star and will re-consider purchasing again (so is a big one) - is that despite the promise of easy application, I found it extremely difficult to dispense, shaking and attempting to apply a thin line, only to end up with a big clump that is way too much and a huge waste of product. My bottle has only lasted a couple months, which is not worth it for the price! I'd appreciate if you could re-address the tip and application - I am a huge loyalist to Essie.

        👍👍

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve honestly never really maintained my cuticles so I’m not even sure if I’m doing it correctly but I do enjoy the product! It has a thicker consistency so I would recommend barely dabbing any on each nail. The pusher tool shape almost has a little lip which had somewhat of an upward tilt at the end so it made it a bit hard to keep level and get a good angle to push with but I’m not sure if mine was the only one like that or if I just need more practice with it. I do like that it comes with the tool though bc I did not own one. I feel like I did notice a small difference but again, not really used to doing it.

        Great 3 in 1 product for nail care

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product complementary for my honest review. My nails are completely wrecked from all the DIY and cold weather here in Pittsburgh. This product was a welcome item to receive in order to help me with some self-care. The product is very easy to use and is a very thick gel that helps to break down cuticles and clean your nail surface. It did exactly what it says, and helped me to clean up my nail area with ease. The bonus part of this product is that it does not smell bad and has a very mild fragrance. Lastly, I like a product that is all in one and I don’t need to buy multiple items.

        Easy to apply

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie Ready.Set.Go Advanced Cuticle Remover is an excellent product for keeping your nails looking neat and healthy at home. The gel formula is easy to use, stays in place, and is simple to apply with its pointed tip. It works quickly, softening cuticles in just a few seconds , and is gentle on your skin while still being effective. After using it, my cuticles felt smooth and healthy, which was a nice bonus. you need to follow the directions carefully to avoid overdoing it. Overall, this product is fast, easy, and perfect for anyone who wants great-looking nails with little effort.

        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie ready.prep.go advanced cuticle remover has become a must-have in my nail care routine. It works quickly and effectively to soften and remove cuticles without harsh scrubbing or damaging the nail area. I appreciate the clean, non-irritating formula—it feels gentle on the skin, and I’ve never had any reaction. The ingredients are well-balanced, making it both safe and effective. The packaging is sleek and easy to use, allowing precise application. For the price, the quality and results are absolutely worth it. My nails look salon-ready every time I use it! Segurity
