SZA's Nail Artist Melissa Samuel Shares Her Beauty Essentials, Including a $5 Cuticle Oil

Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover ($5, originally $7)

For many of her viral sets on Figueroa, the nail artist uses this Sally Hansen cuticle remover to properly prep the nails before tip installation. Made with aloe and chamomile, this oil works to condition and soothe the nails, while eliminating excess cuticles in under 15 seconds. "Alani doesn't have a lot of cuticles so I use this on her to give a nice clean cuticle when I start doing her extensions," she explains.
