Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

19 days into the month and I have only done one NOTD post.
WHO AM I?
WHAT HAVE I BECOME?
WHY IS LIFE SO COMPLICATED?

While I can't necessarily answer any of the above (those are quite the questions people; way too deep for a blog post #let'sgetcoffeesometime), I can tell you that the reason behind my lack of NOTD's is that I haven't been painting my nails. You heard (read) right folks!!
My nails were starting to get a little worse for wear (flaking, yellowing, and most other things associated with nasty nail conundrums) so I decided to take a break from my beloved polishes until they were back in fighting form. How did they get there in a mere couple of weeks though you may ask?

Enter Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream (now stand and applaud).

While the product name states and implies that this is merely aimed at cuticles, this lemon butter cream (also a bit of a misnomer: this is more of a solidified oil) actually works to strengthen the nails as well as nourish your cuticles. Thank goodness I read the fine print on things as all of this is pretty much spelled out on the back of the tin.

Like I said, the texture of this is a little strange as it's essentially a solidified oil; it's slightly gritty when you begin to rub your finger around in the tin but after a few rotations it melts with the warmth of your finger and allows you to massage the oil into your nails and cuticles. Even when I'm not giving my nails a break from polish I absolutely LOVE slathering this on between polish switches because of the extreme feeling of hydration it provides to the nail.

Also, I can't forget to mention: the smell of this stuff is DIVINE. I can't describe it because it's perfect and words will ultimately ruin it however I can tell you that it smells like sweet lemon heaven. If common sense didn't exist I would have taken a spoon to this tin by now.

Check it!! 

Long and strong and ready to take on some heavy glitter polish again... like going to a dessert buffet after a good workout, I can't help but love destroying a good thing.

Have you tried the Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream?

Love it? Hate it?

What's your secret weapon to keeping your nails healthy and strong?
