Growing up in South Florida, I never understood why hang nails were such a big deal – dry cuticles are just not an issue when you’re drowning in humidity.
But it is surprising that it’s taken me nine frigid,dry winters to discover nail brushes.
I keep it in my shower, and spend all of 30 seconds brushing my nails every day in the shower. My fingers are soft, cuticles are where they should be, and I haven’t seen a hangnail since I started.
The best part? At most, you’ll pay about $5.
Is this news to anyone? Or am I the last person on this earth to figure out how surprisingly powerful these little nail brushes are?



Umm, I have tons of these but I’ve never used them daily, in the shower. OMG, life changing tip.
What Sarah said — I always thought these were for CLEANING nails, not for massaging them. Thanks for this tip!
