Home Remedy for Dry, Peeling, Brittle Nails!

My nails had been giving me a very hard time. My once upon a time pretty nails had started breaking and peeling( You know, when the layers of you nail starts coming out). I went to a Dermatologist and his medicine did have some effect but in some time, it was all back to square one. Here's a remedy that I tried which worked!

Take 1 teaspoon of  100% pure Almond oil (Don't use the cheap versions of olive oil as they contain only almond essence and mineral oil). Pierce one capsule of Vitamin E and squeeze out the whole content into the oil. Mix them well.Store it in a bottle and apply it directly on your nails and cuticle and massage thoroughly. There will be an instant shine but you'll get a permanent shine only after using it for a few days.
  Alternatively, you can use olive oil but the results will be much better with almond oil. Any brand of Vitamin E capsule can be used.



Do tell me if this makes your nails better! :)

  1. Alternatively if you have spare 500 bucks you could buy Bodyshop Almond nail & cuticle treatment. Not that it would make sense though :P

  2. I bought the Sally Hansen one and another Oriflame one, so it would make sense to me:P But this has worked much better than the treatments!

  3. Ah! girl after my own heart. :)

    Yes this definitely is more economical and effective. Though I wouldn't mind recommending Bodyshop one to any lazy person out there. It has worked very well for me.Plus the ease of usage counts. Fuss free.
    I think I would be great to refill that pen with the the homemade oil. Dont know if it is refill-able.

  4. That's one big factor! Ready to use, easy to carry.:D
    I bought them for the same reason but I had time to while away so,I borrowed this grand idea from a friend's boyfriend(imagine!). He just pricks a vitamin E capsule and applies it directly on the skin but I felt it was a bit too sticky that way.
