It’s no secret that every nail tech recommends cuticle oil, but do you actually know WHY it’s so important? 👀

Cuticle oil isn’t just an extra step in your nail care routine. It can make such a difference to the health of your natural nails and how long your manicure lasts!

✨ Here’s why you should be using it every day:

🤍 Hydrates and nourishes the skin around your nails, helping to prevent dryness, soreness and those annoying little hangnails.

💅 Helps prevent breakages. Keeping your natural nails hydrated helps them stay flexible, making them less likely to become brittle and snap.

✨ Helps with retention. Dry, neglected nails and surrounding skin can contribute to lifting as dehydrated nails curl away from the product. Regular cuticle oil helps keep your natural nails and skin in better condition, supporting your manicure between appointments.

🌱 Supports healthy nail growth. Massaging oil into the nail area can stimulate local circulation, but remember, cuticle oil won’t magically make your nails grow faster! Healthy nail care helps you keep the length you grow.

🤍 Keeps your cuticles soft and tidy. Regular use helps soften dry skin, making your cuticles look healthier and your manicure look even better.

❄️ Extra important in the colder months! Cold weather, wind, hand washing and heating can all contribute to dry skin and nails, so keeping your oil close by is a must.

If you’re trying to grow your natural nails, especially if you’re a nail biter, this is one of the easiest habits you can get into to help look after them between appointments.

Aim to use your cuticle oil at least twice a day, every day — and more often if your hands are feeling dry!

Trust me, your nail tech will thank you for it! 🫶🏼

Here I’m using Brazilian Bella - smells insane 😍🤭✨

little hack i found when i realised i ran out of my usual lint free wipes🤣

you can get a big pack of wax strips (around 100) for £3 which will make about 800 wipes depending how big you cut them, and they’re sooo much better than the usual ones too!
