With so many options to choose from, both at the drugstore and online, trying to hunt down the best cuticle oil to keep your nails strong and healthy may feel overwhelming at first. But rather than hemming and hawing over all the bottles in the nail aisle, allow me to save you some time by pointing you toward one place you might not have looked yet: Etsy. If youve never used the small business platform to shop for beauty products before, dont worry Ive already found one cuticle oil for $12 thats legit and backed by glowing reviews.
New to nail care? Heres the deal: experts have previously told HuffPost that cuticle oil moisturizes your nails to prevent breakage, yellowing, hangnails, and more. It can even help make them stronger. The Cuticle Buddy portable cuticle oil , created by ShopNBM , is made with a seven-in-one formula that includes key hydrating ingredients like jojoba oil and essential oils like macadamia nut oil, wheat germ oil, and more that are rich in vitamin E.
The Cuticle Buddy oil comes in an 8-milliliter bottle that has a clip you can use to attach it to your bag or keys. The leakproof roller ball applicator makes it easy to spread the oil on your nails (the brand recommends three times a day for optimal results). The bottle also contains a floating chunk of obsidian to keep the oil well-mixed. The oil itself is cruelty-free, paraben-free, vegan, and naturally scented with your pick of 11 scent combinations that range from vanilla bean and blackcurrant to peppermint and blue cypress.
The best part? You can purchase 30-milliliter refill containers from ShopNBM, which the brand claims can refill your portable bottle almost four times, for a bargain price of $25 (about the cost of just two of the 8-milliliter rollers). This not only saves you from having to repurchase more often, but also gives you a chance to try a new scent if youd like to mix it up.
Reviewers have gushed about the Cuticle Buddys non-greasy formula, leakproof packaging, and the impact of consistent use on their nails, reporting fewer hangnails. Over on Reddit, some users have taken to calling it a holy grail or their new BFF, as well as swapping recommendations for the best scents after finishing their bottles entirely (lavender and rosemary appears to be popular). Among the Etsy reviews, some have noted that shipping can take a few weeks, which is always a risk you run with ordering from a small business on Etsy rather than on a platform like Amazon , so keep that in mind if youre hoping to have your cuticle oil arrive ASAP.
Ready for healthier-looking, stronger-feeling, and pleasant-smelling nails? Say no more add the Cuticle Buddy to your nail routine and get ready to join the reviewers below in singing its praises.
This product is genuinely so convenient and cute! I absolutely adore it. The little inclusions make it almost like a decoration. I keep it on my bag, so I always have it with me and I havent had any issues with oil spilling or getting on clothes. My nails seem to be peeling less which was my main goal. I also have less hangnails which is greatly appreciated. Overall, I think its a great product and would totally recommend :) Lauren
I love Cuticle Buddy! No-mess packaging, easy to travel with, and the oil itself absorbs quickly and smells great! Ive been using it for a week and already feel like my nails are stronger. Marlee
I have been trying to grow my nails since taking off acrylics. Ugh. I live in the northeast, its winter time and all the hand washing makes it hard to accomplish that. I saw these cute nail oils and decided to try them. They are awesome. Love how they have the thing so you can attach them to your keys or I imagine whatever youd like. And the scents are amazing. Thank you!! Lora
this was a great stocking stuffer. the smell is not overpowering and the oil absorbs quickly, so there is virtually no mess. bonus: the packaging is sleek and functional. Adreanna
I was skeptical after ordering this because I have a bad habit of shopping while intoxicated, but I think this might be one of my favorite silly-mode purchases!! The packaging was cool, and when I opened it and actually saw the products I was so surprised to see the stones inside! And the matching stone roller ballssuch a cool idea!! I ordered lemongrass and lavender, they both smell wonderful, but more importantly they both feel wonderful on my skin! I will DEFINITELY be returning to NBM when Ive gone through these! Sarah

"The trick to managing skin dryness is to be consistent with cuticle application and hydration. Once you see a hangnail, grab that cuticle oil instead of picking or biting," Pham advised.
Pham prefers clipping only when you need to , and maintaining your cuticles with cream and oil, which she said will eventually lead to less cuticle trimming.
