Back Again:Wednesday Questions and Answers
Let’s get back on track since last Wednesday an alien took control of my intestines. I had a co-irker( lame, I know) request some recommendations for cuticle oils and nail strengtheners. I have been using Dr. Hauschka’s Neem Nail Oil for years. In fact I have had the same bottle for so long because just a little bit goes a long way, I actually had to throw it out. It expired in 2003. Hmm…pay attention Noel. So I’ve compiled a short list of some alternatives.
Creative Nail Design Solar Oil is a really nice cuticle conditioner and nail strengthener. I just LOVE the smell of sweet almond oil so this is perfect for me. Apply it about an hour before you paint your nails and let it soak in. Make sure to wipe off any excess before applying the base coat and you will have the perfect home manicure. The above mentioned Dr. Hauschka’s Neem Oil also comes in a pen form that is really great for throwing in your purse for quick use. Swipe it on while at your desk so you won’t have to stare at your rough cuticles while you type, angry with yourself for being too lazy to do them last night. Oh wait, that’s just me and my paranoia. As if anyone else cares about my nails.
Nailtiques Oil Therapy is also a great treatment. I used their Nail Protein Formula 2 for years and it changed the condition of my nails dramatically. Pretty high hazard rating but you know it worked really well for me, so I can’t poo poo it. I will say use at your own risk. I have never actually tried Barielle’s Intensive Nail Renewal Oil but I’ve heard 
a lot of good things about it. I have used other Barielle products (Ultra Soft Hand Cream and Total Foot Care Cream) and I can’t stop raving about them, so I’m pretty sure the quality is consistent. Those are a few of my suggestions but I’m sure there are a lot more. Also make sure to apply sunscreen to your hands. Who wants to look like you’re wearing leather gloves in the summer? “Not I”, said Vanity.
