    Want gorgeous nails? Read on.

    Sometimes, we think our devotion to beautyheaven means that we know all there is to know about sporting the very best in delicious digits. And odds are you’ve owned a fair few pretty polishes in your time – and performed some award-winning DIY manicures and pedicures, all the while thinking – “I’ve got this nail care stuff in the bag!” Right?

    Well let me tell you – I was one of these people. I believed that a slick of pretty polished teamed with a reliable base coat and top coat would be my ticket to some pretty amazing nails. Well, I missed a fundamental ingredient in the mix beauties…

    Cuticle oil. Yeah, it doesn’t sound all that important does it? But let me tell you – even though my nails always looked the part once painted, they never seemed to grow past a certain length – and they never felt very strong either. I realised action needed to be taken.

    I got the hot tip from my friends at Bio Sculpture. Want me to share? You know I can’t keep a secret from you.

    Hot tip: water dehydrates nails and cuticles. Keeping your cuticles hydrated is a very important part of ensuring healthy nail growth. By applying a cuticle care product like Bio Sculpture cuticle oil daily, they will act as a moisturiser for your nails and help to ensure that the new nail growth will be healthy.

    Some other cuticle conditioners we can’t get out of our heads…

    Def. guilty of not using cuticle oil & giving my hands the attention I should!

    Is anyone else giggling over the final comment in the article: "How do you ensure delicious-looking digits?" Hmm, finger-licking good?! Hahahaha!

    I always use Lush cuticle butter on my cuticles. It really helps my nails to look nicer.

    Rebecca295 3 Apr 2012 1:44 AM

    Lush Lemony FLutter is my savour for my cuticles, I usse this stuff every night. And if i'm home on the weekend i'll apply it twice a day.

    I rub bio-oil into my cuticles which keeps them nice and supple.

    Vaseline on my cuticles works best, even better than my almond oil.

    Andrea635 15 Mar 2012 11:51 AM

    Hope this works , my nails are so weak and easy to break :(

    Fashionista8P 4 Mar 2012 10:10 AM

    Elenaxd 3 Mar 2012 1:55 PM

    hand cream if i can remember.

    Sarah92 29 Feb 2012 6:13 AM

    I just use normal hand cream for around my cuticles, maybe I'll have to invest in one of these and see if there is a difference.

    emzaau 28 Feb 2012 8:26 AM

    I'm lazy - just hand cream for me.

    weekend 27 Feb 2012 10:31 AM

    I just use hand cream and drink plenty of milk to keep my nails healthy and strong. :)

    ModernSnowWhite 22 Feb 2012 10:28 AM

    I moisturise my hands before I go to bed each night with hand and nail cream :)
