Which product would you choose to moisturize and protect brittle nails?

• A. Cuticle Oil
• B. Nail Strengthener
• C. Base Coat
• D. Top Coat

Answer: (A)

When nails feel brittle, the priority is hydration and a protective barrier around the nail and surrounding skin. Cuticle oil delivers moisture directly to the cuticle and nail plate, helping to seal in hydration and keep the tissue flexible. This reduces stiffness, cracking, and breakage that come from dryness, making it the best choice for treating brittle nails. Nail strengtheners add hardening agents to combat breaks, but they don’t moisturize. Base coats focus on adhesion and a smooth surface for polish, while top coats protect and add shine but don’t provide hydration. So the cuticle oil directly addresses the dryness and protection brittle nails need.
