Nail Care products are available by the thousands.. maybe even more. For this Top 10 Tuesday I’m narrowing down my top nail care products to just ten. Oddly, I didn’t have 10 of any one item (such as cuticle oil or base coats, etc) to narrow this down with. It seems when I find a nail care item I love I stick with it, which is good news because you’ll know these items are HG for me and not just a passing fancy!
In no particular order:
- Cult Nails Glass Nail File. I’ve had this for at least a year, maybe two? I think I paid $10 way back but now they’re $15 and come with a case. But that’s how long this lasts! Well worth the investment!
- I am loving Revlon ColorStay Gel-Shine Top Coat for an incredibly glossy finish….
- ….but if I need my polish to dry super fast and still be glossy I go for Seche Vite.
- Sally Hansen Insta-Grip Fast Dry Base Coat. I love this so much! It dries like the wind. I started using it after I ran out of another fave – Butter London Nail Foundation (not pictured).
- Julep Essential Cuticle Oil. This has a roller ball, which excites me way more than it should. It’s also a great oil.
- Butter London Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil. This is just a go-to of mine for the last year, fabulous moisture!
- Nicole by OPI Oil to Go. This just recently released, but it’s perfect for keeping in your purse. I’m always running out the door and I look at my nails and I’m all… ew. Especially in the winter, moisturize those cutes!
- LUSH Lemony Flutter. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t use this?! I smear it all over my hands, pop on some gloves and hang out. It’s a savior.
- Gloves. Seriously. Get yourself manicure gloves and soak that cream and oil in. Remember SOAK and LOCK!
- Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. I got to try this through BzzAgent and I’ve been rebuying ever since! It’s coating, but sinks in. Fabulous!

I love looking at nail swatches and new lacquer releases. But to be honest, I’m so low maintenance when it comes to nail matters. I should really try a glass file!!!

Because of mu job I have to wear gloves all day long so my hands are like sandpaper. I’m definitely going to have to get myself some gloves.

I’ve tried several different glass files, and the ones I have from Cult Nails are my fave. It’s like using velvet to file! Great for my soft, peeling nails. I also got hooked on cuticle oil because of Julep and that rollerball! I’ve expanded to others and even make my own, but the rollerball is awesome.

My favorite glass files are from Mont Bleu and I’m kicking myself for not including them. A glass file is terrific. Now I want the Julep just because it’s in a roller ball.

Nice list! I just love that Julep Essential Cuticle Oil…actually, I think I have all those products, and they’re great!

Huge fan of a lot of what you mentioned!! My go-to top coat is Cult Nails Wicked Fast, though! And I like Sally Hansen’s cuticle remover. It’s a blue gel, I can’t recall the proper name. But like I said, you hit a lot of them here!

Julep’s Cuticle Oil used to be my ultimate favorite!

I used to think Lemony Fluff was the bomb. Until one day I couldn’t stomach the smell any longer. On a positive note, LUSH is finally opening a store in Des Moines so I am excited to try it again since it has been a few years!
I bet that lemony flutter smells amazing

I could have done a Top 10 just on cuticle products alone and you have some of my faves here. Ah, Lemony Flutter
All Lacquered Up recently posted..Top Ten Tuesday – My Favorite Nail Products for a Foolproof Manicure
I must have my OPI crystal file, oil for my cuticles, Seche Vite, China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat, Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, my favorite hand lotion and my little Trimm tool for cutting away hangnails and the occasional bit of dry, nasty cuticle. A handful of tools and products do the trick. 🙂
