Consumer Critique: Nail Care from Cutex

I recently had a chance to try out a variety of products from Cutex.

I was actually shocked the first time I tried a glitter polish how hard it was to get the glitter off. It was crazy! The ultra-powerful remover really does help get it off quickly - much easier than traditional nail polish remover. I also like the fragrances of these polish removers; it's not nearly as strong as some standard removers.

The nail care products didn't make much difference for me, but I don't have a problem with my nails. However, they did help my daughter's (she tends to bite her nails which leads to cracking) and my mom's (she's always had nails that crack easily).

Cutex products provide comprehensive nail care - removers, hand care, nail strengtheners, and more. They even have products for helping remove stubborn colors that make nails sometimes look yellow after the polish has been removed. They're easy to use, a decent value, and can be found at a variety of stores, including mass merchandisers, online, and drug stores. See below for just some of the options available!

         Nourishing Nail Polish Remover contains a patented oil blend of flaxseed and perilla seed which is proven to condition nails while quickly removing all traces of nail polish.The non-drying formula with a sparkling peach fragrance contains apricot kernel oil to soften skin and vitamin E to neutralize free radicals and moisturize the skin around the nails.

·         Strength-Shield Nail Polish Remover contains vitamin B5 which improves the flexibility and strength of nails. Vitamin E neutralizes free radicals and moisturizes the skin around the nails while hydrolyzed silk proteins provide and retain moisture to help protect skin from dehydration. Lavender flower extract provides a calming scent, but it also has antifungal and antibacterial properties. 

·         Ultra-Powerful Remover contains a patented oil blend of flaxseed and perilla seed which is proven to nourish nails while removing the toughest polishes (including dark color and glitter).  Apricot kernel oil is rich in vitamin E to soften the skin.  A refreshing cucumber fragrance adds to the experience!
