Cuticle balms!

When I do my manicure, once a week, I never forget to keep my cuticles moisturized. And I have been using this cuticle oil from Sephora (pictured below) and it's amazing! My cuticles looks healthier actually and not as dry - makes taking pictures of my newly found nail art obsession more fun! This one has a brush tip instead of just a plain tube. This brush makes application on the cuticle area easier, cleaner and faster! 

TIP !Alert! Plus putting cuticle oil around the nail helps when the polish bleeds to the surrounding skin. I use the flat pointy end of a cuticle stick to wipe off the polish and it comes right off!

one of my fave nail arts!

You don't need to buy this exact cuticle oil, since I know every nail polish brand and others have their own cuticle oil product. This one has just been my go-to after I have tried two others before; a dollar one from E.L.F and a Burt's Bees one that both did not work well for my busy hands! And no worries ladies if you don't have a cuticle oil in hand! A lip balm is as handy and as moisturizing! If they are moisturizing enough for your lips, why not put them on those dry cuticles right?!?

Pictured below are just a few of the ones in my lip balm collection that I will grab when I misplace my Sephora cuticle oil in my big box of nail stuff. I use the clear one and the minty ones are my fave! It gives that little tingling sensation as well on my fingers, just like if you put it on my lips! Since I have tons of lip balms these has been put aside to be used for my nails only (The Ben&Jerry one is almost empty so I am just using up the rest on my nails). 

TIP !ALERT! Before going to bed, I put this on again on my cuticles and cover my hands with my pair of cotton socks! If you don't have one of those moisturizing gloves from the drugstore, a pair of cotton socks works just the same. And never, never ever! forget to moisturize those hands! All season long, no excuse! 

Hope you all enjoyed this little tidbit. And if you are like me who hoards on lip balms because you thought you have misplaced them and just can't live without a lip balm on hand - here's just another way to use those unused, almost forgotten, almost finished lip balms of yours!

*Have a great long weekend everyone!
