excellent except product application wasteful
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.

Quick, easy and gentle cuticle remover that actual
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cuticle remover makes at-home nail prep so much easier. The formula softens cuticles really fast without any stinging or strong scent which I appreciate. It spreads evenly, doesn’t drip everywhere, and starts working within a minute. After pushing the cuticles back, everything looks way cleaner and more polished. I also love that it doesn’t dry out the skin around my nails. The packaging is compact and the tip is easy to control but it could be more aesthetic. Overall it’s super effective and definitely saved me a few salon visits.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to do my nails from home, so when I used this product for the first time I was pleasantly surprised and it has become a must-use in prepping my nails before polish! It’s super easy to use, and has little micro-beads that soften the cuticles without irritation, making it easier to push the cuticles back My nails look salon ready every time after I use it :)

I love
[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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent product. At least for me there is a definite learning curve. It took me a while to get and understand what I was suppose to be doing and how to do it properly but all in all decent.

Just like the salon!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In between events when I get my nails done at the salon I do mine at home. This kit is awesome for an at home treatment. It works great and is super easy to use. I love that the cuticle gel is not sticky.

Works good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, I didn't have high expectations but Essie cuticle remover gel pleasantly surprised me! It melted the cuticle right off! The only problem i found with it is how much is getting out of it when you are trying to squeeze the bottle a little bit to get the stuff on your nail. It has poor control and gel pops out of the bottle like a genie and gets everywhere. I had to catch it running down my arm. It's inconvenient but could possibly be dealt with with a little bit of practice.

No
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Didn’t mind the smell and the packaging is nice. I liked that it came with its own cuticle pusher. I just honestly didn’t notice a difference really to me. They seemed the same. I haven’t been reaching for it. It’s a step I skip. It’s okay

Average Prep
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A lot comes out with one squeeze. Doesn’t smell like anything in my opinion. Worked okay, was expecting more. Average packaging for the value. Did not notice a huge difference when using.

Nice and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cuticle remover was quick and very easy application. There isn’t any scent to it which I love. I feel that it’s a great value for the size. The tool can be a bit better but it’s a standard.

Takes cuticles off in seconds, does not burn, no s
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really skeptical at first. I followed the directions to a T. I was astonished on how well this worked. This sloughed off my cuticles in seconds. Mere seconds at that! I usually have to cut my cuticles off, which I absolutely hate. I did not have to do that. They literally rolled off of my fingers. I’ve never seen anything like this before. This did not burn or irritate my fingertips at all. Again, I’m amazed. And to top this off, this made my finger nail polish, super shiny! I will be using this between manicures all the time!
