Scruffy cuticles are the worst enemy of your nails. Dry cuticles aren’t just a bad look for your manicure but can also lead to causing hangnails and infections if they reach the cracking and peeling stage (a big NO).

So, if you want your nails to be on fleek, it’s only reasonable that you give them some TLC with a nice cuticle oil that not only keeps them moisturised but eventually increases the circulation around your nails, stimulating nail growth.

The market for cuticle oils is extremely limited so we did the research and found the best ones available to buy in India ATM.
