Confession: I have VERY dry nails. I am horrible at consistently treating them with strengtheners, cuticle oils, and creams. This is for a variety of reasons: I never see results, they never absorb, they're messy, I don't have time, they prevent polish from adhering to my nails, or they make my nails worse!
So for the past 6 months or more I have been following Simple Nail Art Tips on facebook. I think I started following because one of my manicures was featured and I thought "Oh, cool! Someone likes what I do!" Little did I know that the mastermind behind this page, Ana, had her own website and company. She created her own nail/cuticle oil out of the purest ingredients. In January she challenged people to buy her oil and not wear nail polish for 3 days to replenish the nail, cuticle, and skin of essential oils. I was amazed by the results, but I was to wimpy to participate.

When I saw that she was running the same three day challenge ("Let's Get Naked Challenge") I knew I needed to participate. My dry cracked skin and nails were begging me to finally be consistent and pamper them with a product that would work. So I gave it a try...

| Before and After 3 days of no nail polish, only Pure Nail Oil! |
The Verdict:
As a nail polish lover and blogger, I find myself frequently changing my nail polish. In addition to the drying effects of remover, I also have very dry skin. The first time I tried Pure Nail Oil my nails absorbed the oil quite quickly. I was surprised by how dry my nails were. Other cuticle oils I had used did not absorb as quickly or evenly. After the first day I was convinced that the skin around and under my nails was the softest it had ever been. By day three I was noticing more moisturized hands and nails, more flexible nails, and fewer hangnails. It is now weeks since I first tried Pure Nail Oil.
I have noticed:
- my nails are stronger
- my free edge is whiter and my nail bed more transparent
- my cuticle/eponychium have shrunk back and gave been more moisturized
- my nails are growing faster and break/crack/peel less
- my hands look younger
