Product Information

Over the finger rest was a disk which contained transparent nail shaped sections of the six Cutex colours – the Clear shade not being included.

Cutex was analysed by the American Medical Association (AMA) a few years after it appeared on the market. That said, Irigaki has one small trick to help up the ante: Apply cuticle oil right out of the shower while your skin is still damp and your pores are open. In 1911, Northam Warren began selling Cutex, a liquid preparation that removed dead cuticle tissue without the need for cutting – hence the name ‘Cut-ex’. Celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann knows a thing or two about nail health — and she’s bottled up her years of wisdom in this nourishing cuticle oil. Northam Warren did not think that these liquid polishes would be major sellers and they were not promoted as much as the abrasive polishes.

We also liked the brush-tip applicator, which was easy to use and helped us control the amount of product we were depositing. Tenoverten is the ultimate natural-beauty nail brand, but unlike some of the others in the space, its products really do work.

Smaller sets proved to be particularly popular as they could be carried about and later designs were made so that they could be transported safely. Along with other cosmetics companies, Cutex experienced shortages during the war, as supplies of raw materials like nitrocellulose became difficult to get and manufacturing space was taken up by government contracts awarded to Northam Warren.We especially loved how easy the pen applicator was to use, keeping drips and any excess mess at bay. Even when we did get one hangnail while testing the oil, it kept the area moisturized and we didn’t have the urge to pull it.

The brush-on oil helped us control how much product we swiped onto our fingertips to ensure it was delivered right to the root of the problem, leaving cuticles repaired and hydrated. Because most cuticle treatments come in oil form, these can be quite slick and leave your fingers feeling slippery.Natural goes with all costumes but best with bright colors—red, blue, bright green, purple, orange, yellow. Cutex Sheer Lanolin Lipstick in the striped Designer Case and Cutex Delicate Lipstick in the Nugget Case.

Active Ingredients: Vitamin E, apricot kernel, aloe | Applicator: Brush | Best for: Brittle nails | Size: 0. Cutex also generated interest in the liquid polish by altering the manicure instructions that came with its other products so that they now included the use of the liquid polish. When the cuticle remover proved to be a commercial success, Northam Warren added other products, gradually building up a complete manicure range all badged under the Cutex brand.It dries instantly, and leaves a charming rose-petal finish that retains its brilliant lustre for at least a week. Although the application was a little messier than we’d have liked, it wasn’t any worse than others we’ve used, and since it absorbed super quickly, the greasiness didn’t last long. Their strong point was the fact that they could talk the girls’ own language—could bring out just the point which the manicure girl wants to know, and which no ordinary salesgirl could ever discover. They also produced a number of creamy formulations including Cutex Sheer Lanolin Lipstick (1955) and Cutex Delicate Lipstick (1959).
