Since the new year, I’ve noticed that my cuticles are looking a little worse for wear. I think the cold weather has taken a toll on my hands and nails so I’ve really had to step it up in the nail care department. I’ve seen some really good results using just a few products so today I thought I’d share my favourites with you.
1. Sally Hansen Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil
This cuticle oil lives at my manicure station (read: computer desk) and I always use it when I’m giving my nails a bit of extra attention. I also apply this constantly whenever I’m sat the the computer. Oiling up my cuticles quickly between episodes of Workaholics makes the task seem less like a chore but does mean my keyboard gets pretty greasy.
I really like the applicator in this cuticle oil. It’s a long thin brush that gives you complete control over how much product you pick up. I simply swipe it over my cuticles then use one finger to massage in the oil.
2. Nail Butter
I’ve sung the praises of Nail Butter in a previous review and it’s still a firm favourite of mine. I apply it mostly at night as a little bedtime ritual and sometimes even use it in addition to cuticle oil. I’ll apply the Nail Butter first, lightly brush some Sally Hansen cuticle oil over the top and work it in to my nail beds.
3. KBShimmer Cuticle Oil Pen in Pink Sugar
This pen is amazing for on the go. It smells ssooooo good. Like SO good! I’ve been carrying this pen around with me for a few weeks now and always have it out on the desk at work, obsessively applying it all day. You just twist the end to give it a few clicks and use the built in applicator to brush it on to your cuticles.
