Happy Sunday! Looking for some advice please. I'm trying to take better care of my nails. What nail products do you use for your cuticles and polish? There are so many choices. Thanks!

@Franklinbell butter London Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator is amazing. I got a set on GMA Deals & Steals with that & a glass cuticle pusher & nail file.

I brush it on & use the cuticle pusher & it takes off every bit of dry cuticle.

I really like their cuticle oil, too.

I don't often paint my fingernails, but I always do my toes.

I love Static Nails Liquid Glass Nail Lacquer, primer & top coat. 

I actually discovered that brand on GMA too.

I use all of the regular brands-Orly, OPI, etc with the primer & top coat, but Static Nails is my favorite.

@Dusty1 @Thanks!

Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. Sally Hansen cuticle remover. A variety of brush on hardeners, polish and top coats. I haven't noticed any difference in overall quality or how well they wear. From cheap to expensive. My nails are finally normal after having the fakes (dip) removed in July.

I agree w/ @smoochy . I never had gel nails, but do use Sally Hansen nail hardners, "her" cuticle remover, etc.

I also think a glass file like Perfect Formula or less expensive ones on Amazon do seal the end of the nail and help with splitting.

Love using jojoba oil on cuticles and hands at night.

@smoochy @Oh my gosh! I completely forgot about sally Hanse! That was a "go-to" for my mom and grandmother!

I love Londontown polishes. Pricey but they wear like iron and keep on shining.

Look at Nail Aid on Amazon, tons of great products for all your nail needs and best of all these are chemical free, and very reasonable too.  Also have their own website.

Polish I recommend Zoya or Deb Lippmann, both chemical free as much as possible, good deals on amazon for these too. You can find kits with multiple shades in them.

With my job, my hands are often in water. I'm constantly washing them. Alas, I don't think I have a hope of having pretty hands & nails.
