One of my must-have items is cuticle oil. I am obsessed with cuticle oil. It makes my nails always look fresh - even between fill-ins or new manicures.

 I have several different brands in various dispensers. One of my all time favorites is a $4.99 bottle from Sally Beauty. I have had the same bottle for at least two years. It's huge. It comes with a brush and I keep it on my vanity.

 Every time I wash my hands, I put on my oil and hand lotion. I have a tube with a roller ball from Julep that I keep on my desk at work and in my purse. This one is quickly becoming a favorite of mine because of the scent alone. It reminds me of the spa at the Aria hotel.

 I also use my oil on my tootsies! Gotta keep those toe cuticles looking good, too.

 I love looking at different photos of polish colors on non-celebs. The one thing that bothers me is when the cuticles are dry and just plain raggedy. Nothing (except the polish island) can make your nails look worse.

 I posted the Moroccan oil as a possible cuticle oil. Why not? It's oily AND it smells delicious! A little pricey for cuticle oil, but what the hey!

Another one that I used a lot was one by Deborah Lippman. Again - the smell is divine.

 Happy Monday!
