Dry, chapped, and cracked cuticles. I can feel my fingers hurting just thinking about it. Short, flimsy nails that break and peel on a whim, meanwhile, aren’t very helpful for doing everyday tasks, let alone scheduling that long-awaited manicure.
If this sounds familiar, it’s time to give your nails a hand. Cuticle oil with essential oils helps your nails handle the everyday stresses of cold, sun, soap, and more. This Nails Without Fail recipe uses pure ingredients full of natural growth-encouraging characteristics to create the best cuticle oil for nail growth.
