  1. What’s the best way to push back cuticles without damaging nails? For gentle, effective cuticle care, start by softening cuticles with Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator. Wait about 60 seconds, then use the Signature Glass Cuticle Pusher or your thumb to gently push back cuticles—no clipping required. This method helps prevent tearing or damage while keeping nails and cuticles healthy, smooth, and ready for polish.
  2. How quickly does it work? Melt Away starts working on contact, immediately breaking down dry, overgrown cuticles. For a quick refresh, you’ll see results in as little as 15–30 seconds—perfect for fast prep. For more stubborn buildup, leave on for up to 2 minutes to fully soften and dissolve excess cuticle for easier pushback.
