I was chatting with my sister in Whatsapp the other day and she sent a photo of her nails. We laughed because she was trying to imitate the pose from my photos, you know, the contorted angle when I was holding the bottles to show my latest manicure. We also talked about cuticles, which reminded me to write this post.
I push my cuticles before I apply nail polish. I use hand lotion every night. But my cuticles are still bad. So I decided to resolve this by using Sally Hansen's cuticle treatment, bought from Watsons:
Sally Hansen Gel Cuticle Remover. RM29.90 (I bought it for RM25 at sale price) |
From the instructions, we are to push cuticles after leaving it on for 2 minutes. I'm not sure why we can't leave it for more than 8 minutes because it didn't hurt when I tried. The tube has a slanted tip that was meant to push your cuticles. I find this unhygienic so I used my cuticle pusher instead. This gel is effective - it easily peels off the excess cuticles after 2 minutes. You won't even feel a thing. It also leaves a nice kiwi smell on your nails :)
I forgot to take photos of my cuticles after using the product, sorry!
For maintenance, I apply Sally Hansen Cuticle Oil on my nails every night:
Sally Hansen Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil (I can't remember the price, it should be RM20+) |
It has a brush that's similar to nail polish's, making it easier to apply the oil on the nails without dripping |
To use, take the brush and swipe it on the cuticles. Massage the oil with your fingers to let the oil seep into the cuticles. I can see slight improvements on my nails but results are only evident after a period of time so I can't give my verdict now.
Sis, hope you're reading this. So far it kinda works for me so you may wish to buy them in your local drugstore :)
