When it comes to nails, we women don’t pay too much attention to them. We’ll do the occasional manicure and try on a new nail polish, but when it comes to daily care, we could really use some help. Especially given that our nails are subject to a lot (read: typing, cooking, washing dishes, you know the drill). All of it eventually takes a toll, damaging the health of your nails and cuticles.

If you’re looking for a solution to take care of your nails and cuticles, you should definitely give this DIY cuticle oil a shot. It’s sure to give you healthy and naturally pretty-looking nails.
