Trying to make 2015 my year of being groomed ... Well perhaps by the end of the year !

What do you use that is not faffy ? Also do you use on both nails and toenails ?

Push cuticles up with a proper tool, not an orange stick. Then use this to gently trim the excess. Then smooth on some hand & nail cream overnight or for a few hours, then manicure if you want.

Go get a manicure firstly!
Or if you must do it yourself then sally hansen do an ok cuticle remover gel. Soak hands in warm water for 5 mins. Apply the cuticle remover gel and then push back with a cuticle pusher. Then trim any excess with nippers. Make sure to then wash hands to remove all the cuticle remover as its caustic and then swipe nails with polish remover before painting.

Go to a cheap manicurist

Don't! Just soak your hands and push them back. Try cnd solar oil to keep them neat

Allie82 cuticle remover just makes it easier to push them back and remove dead skin on the nail plate.
