Nails look clean and healthy if you treat your nail cuticles with oil. For that, apply oil on each nail. You can oil your nail cuticles using a dropper, brush, or roller, depending on the applicator provided in the oil container. Then, massage the nails until the oil seeps into the cuticles. Use the oil at bedtime or at leisure after you've pushed the cuticles. If you want to do a manicure, apply oil to your nails after the manicure, instead of before.
