I decided to give cuticle oil a try. I've done the cream thing but I didn't like how my fingertips felt greasy. I was afraid to touch anything! At the salon the other day, I picked this up. It is OPI's Avoplex Nail & Cuticle Oil. So far, so good.
I just apply a tiny bit of oil to my cuticles and let it absorb. Yes, your cuticles will look wet/greasy for a while but at least it doesn't feel gross! Avoplex doesn't have much of a smell. That could be good for some of you or disappointing for others. Personally, I loved the smell of Burt's Bees Lemon Cuticle cream. I just got tired of the application and feeling like I dipped my fingertips in butter!
Below is a photo to show you how the cuticle oil looks when applied. The oil pretty much stays in place. It's not like it runs all over your fingers. All-in-all, it was a good $13 investment.

I have it too and I LOVE it!
I also got it on sale at Winner's for 8.99!
Def recommend it
Wow, your cuticles look really good! I'll have to look into some of this!
I've used this for years and like it! I'm using Barielle right now and like it too! You can brush the oil under your finger tips when you have polish on for extra moisture to you nail also.

How pretty and healthy cuticles!, thanks for sharing I am always ready to try something for my thirsty cuticles ^_^
I wonder if this is the same as the OPI cuticle oil to go in the tube? I love that stuff ;)
