I happen to be a nail product junkie and made a discovery from Essie – they have a really good cuticle “pen” that is fabulous for dry cuticles. It is available at Ulta for $5.99. If you don’t have an Ulta in your town, they are also sold at Trade Secret, located in most malls. The great part of this Essie pen is that it is refillable! Professional manicures are not built into our family budget; however, I was given a gift card for a manicure and made a fantabulous discovery . . . they used a cuticle oil from a very large economy-sized bottle. My budget-minded brain began to work overtime and found a similar oil at a wig and beauty supply store in my town. I have also seen the oil at Sally’s Beauty. Every time my Essie pen runs out, I get my “vat” of oil and refill!!

I swear … this stuff is amazing. Whenever I put it on my lips I smother it on my cuticles too. I don’t do my nails myself, but at the fabulous place I go, they asked me what my secret was and this is it!

I recently got this one at Target:

I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much of a difference it has made in my dry and cracked cuticles. My nails look horrible right now and when I remember (!) to brush this stuff on, they look instantly better!

I’m curious about this as well. Would love to hear some feedback from those that have used cuticle oil.
