I went ahead and bought some of Sally Hansen's Instant Cuticle Remover. Noticed a pretty big difference; most of my nails look a lot better than before. My right index and thumb fingers didn't really want to cooperate though. :<
There was a good deal going on at Walgreens where you could buy one Sally Hansen Diamond Strength and get another one for 50% off, then take $2 off of the whole purchase, so I got one color and some glittery Gem Crush stuff. I tried wearing the Diamond Strength and it was just awful to apply so I painted my nails in Mint Apple by Sinful Colors ~~
