Nail Oil Duo

Your cuticles and the skin around your nails are some of the first places to show dryness, and dry cuticles crack, peel and catch. A nail and cuticle oil keeps that skin nourished and the nail itself hydrated, which is what keeps nails flexible rather than brittle. Self Love Oil is built to do both at once: smaller oil particles absorb into the nail plate, while larger ones form a protective barrier on the surface that helps slow water loss and shields nails from drying chemicals. It is the foundation step that makes every other part of your nail routine work better.

Both. Massage it into the cuticle and across the whole nail. The cuticle is where the skin needs the nourishment, but the nail plate benefits just as much, because that is where moisture is held or lost. Self Love Oil is formulated to absorb into the nail and sit protectively on the surface, so working it into both gives you the full benefit.

At least once a day, and ideally morning and night. It is a nourishing oil, so there is no real downside to using it often. If your cuticles are very dry, you can reapply after washing your hands, which is when nails lose the most moisture.

No. Apply it after your polish has fully dried, or to bare nails, never underneath. Oil under polish stops the polish adhering properly, so it lifts and chips. Think of the oil as the last step in your routine, not the first.

Not really. It is just a blend of nourishing oils, so using it often does no harm. A few drops is plenty per hand. Massage it in and wipe away any excess. The one time to skip it is right before applying nail polish (see below).

Clean, dry nails are best, and just after washing your hands or showering is an ideal moment, while the skin is soft and receptive. Avoid applying it immediately before painting your nails as it will impact adhesion.

We will be honest here, because a lot of claims online overstate this. Oil does not speed up how fast your nails grow. What it does is keep them hydrated and flexible, so they break, split and peel less. That means you hold onto length instead of losing it, and nails look healthier as they grow out. The result looks like better growth, even though the growth rate itself has not changed.

Yes. Massaging Self Love Oil into the nail and cuticle daily helps keep enhancements flexible and can prolong their wear by reducing lifting at the edges. It works just as well on bare natural nails.

It is not greasy, which is one of the things customers mention most. It absorbs quickly once massaged in. If there is any excess after a minute or so, just wipe it away. For the deepest nourishment, apply it before bed so it can absorb overnight without being washed off.
