This cuticle oil smells divine and is highly effective for weak nails and split cuticles. It's best to put this oil on before bed as it is slightly greasy and it works wonders overnight. I have a problem with my nails, they have a tendency to split right down the middle since using this oil I haven't had any problems. My nails look healthier, my cuticles are looking healthy. It's slightly tricky to apply but you get the hang of it if you keep using it everyday. You could get a mini makeup brush and dip it in the oil and apply to nail to make it easier.
