cuticle oil

Two or three times a day, after washing your hands or before bed, and always after a manicure or removal. A small drop per nail, massaged in until absorbed. It's the shortest step in the routine and the one your nails notice most.

Yes, that's exactly when it belongs: once the gel polish is fully cured, the oil is the finishing touch. It cares for the skin and nail around your manicure without touching the manicure itself.

It keeps cuticles soft and nails growing the way they should. The blend is 96% natural oils: wheat germ for vitamin E, sweet almond to nourish, macadamia to condition. After a removal it's the step that gives skin and nails something back.

It's a rich blend of natural oils, made for intensive cuticle and nail nourishment, so give it a moment to sink in. The brush is designed for precise application: a small drop per nail is all it takes. What lingers is the scent, warm amber, velvety woods and a touch of florals, and that part is on purpose.

Give it at least two days. An oil soak feeds the nail plate deeply, which is the point, but a nail plate full of oil is what gel polish can't bond with. Treat, wait two days, then prep as usual: cleanse, prime, base.
