"Hi my name is Theresa and I'm here to demonstrate to you cuticle oil and who should use it and why. After you've given yourself a manicure, and if you've used cuticle nippers and your nails are really dry, I would suggest that you put some cuticle oil around it. Cuticle oil is very good to put on your nails every day after you get out of the shower or before bed. It helps bring in that moisture back into the cuticles that we've lost throughout the day and if you've been to a manicurist before and she has cut your cuticles you'll notice that they are dry. So being that you have dry cuticles, the cuticle oil would definitely help to restore the moisture you have, and you simply just put it all the way around your cuticles and just rub it in, and it instantly makes your nails look nice and healthier and it's very good for your nails, also helps them grow and keeps them nice and shiny in between. Again, this is the final step to your manicure is applying the cuticle oil. This will help keep your nails nice and healthy and maintain a great looking manicure."
