CND is one of the OG nail product companies out there, and they've always focused explicitly on nail health in addition to high quality products. "The CND Vinylux Weekly Polish dries quickly and wears amazingly. It's the longest-lasting regular natural nail polish I have ever used," says Delgado. "There's no base coat needed. You just need to apply two thin layers of your favorite polish and then finish with the Vinylux as a topcoat. I also recommend applying a cuticle oil regularly to keep the nail flexible and to extend the wearability even longer."
Hanna may be partial to her own product, but this one deserves rave review regardless. It's formulated with hydrating jojoba and hempseed oils, as well as lavender and geranium essential oils, which can help stimulate nail growth and health. Hanna says, "Simply roll onto cuticles a few times a day or anytime you feel the urge to bite or pick. It's a great addition to your morning and evening beauty routine. Also, the amethyst rollerball can help prevent biting and picking, which is a common culprit to damaged nails."
"This is a nail and cuticle conditioning treatment that penetrates deeply and quickly, which helps soften cuticles and promotes strong, flexible, natural nails and nail enhancements," says NYC-based editorial nail artist, Linh Trinh. "The formulation is a natural blend of jojoba oil, sweet almond oil and vitamin E to create a light, penetrating oil with antioxidant agents."
Peeling nails are the woooorst (insert Jean Ralfio meme here), but there are definitely ways to curb the issue. Hanna says that Orly's Nailtrition is one of her favorite products for this very issue and adds that the price point makes it accessible to all. "Apply the product once a day for seven days straight without removing it. On the seventh day you remove it with nail polish remover, and then repeat for seven more days."
You didn't think we'd forget about your feet, did you? Delgado says, "This product is transformational — especially in dry climates. When used regularly, it will heal dry cracks in heels and even repair rough patches on the skin like the elbows or cracking knuckles." The killer combo of emu and tea tree oil mean that your skin and cuticles are nourished and hydrated, and it also helps zap bacteria that can result in inflammation or infection. Though intended for your feet, you can also use on your hands or anywhere else on the body that could use some TLC, like your elbows or knees.
