Cuticle oil is touted as a manicure essential, akin to a strengthening base coat or nourishing hand cream but do you really need to use it? We've asked the pros to outline the many benefits of cuticle oil and why it shouldn't be overlooked...
Regardless of whether you opt for BIAB nails or classic gels, you'll have no doubt noticed your nail artist dotting a few gleaming drops of oil onto your fingers, which not only manages to make your freshly painted talons look luxe and fresh but also nourishes the skin in and around the nailbed - especially if you've opted to have the cuticle removed.
