My Cuticles Hate Me

Yes, this post is completely self-serving. My raggedy cuticles are the bane of my existence. (Well, one of many, but that is a story for another day.) So, I ask you, dear readers, what products/treatments/tools do YOU use to keep your cuticles tamed?

I was blessed nice cuticles, so I am no help! What do you use to keep your nail polish from chipping?

I don't do much I just got some cuticle oil for the first time ever, I lotion my hands a lot and occasionally I use the gel baby oil and run those into my cuticles, but only because I had it (because my daughter) and figured it was worth a try lol. Sometimes they get a little dry but nothing next to my hands I use lotion a ton but they dry out super easy.

Thanks, ladies! Sara, I'm currently using Mystic Nails as my top and base coat. My grandmother had the most amazing cuticles EVER. She NEVER cut them, always just pushed them back, and they were perfect. I wish she had passed that tip on to me before I went for my first mani/pedi. ;)

Sarah, I've been curious about cuticle oil. Is it working well for you? My hands don't get dry at all. However, I have been using pure acetone remover lately and I know that is drying me out like crazy.
