If you look at your bare nails and think they looked better before, it’s time to try a hot oil manicure.
From tulle to galaxies on your fingers, now every week you can try a new manicure trend. However, there is a “but”: constant soaking and filing can make plaques weak and brittle, and cuticles dry.
Your nail artist may tell you to “let your nails breathe,” but here’s the catch: they don’t have lungs. Air won’t solve anything, but there’s good news: a hot oil manicure will help – a new trend that has come to us from SPA salons.
What is a hot oil manicure?
“It usually involves dipping your fingers in a cup of heated oils, selected according to the specific problem,” says nail artist and salon owner Ama Kouashi. “Look at it as a way to rehabilitate your nails.”

How to do a hot oil manicure at home?
You don’t have to go to a spa to get all these bonuses – getting a hot oil manicure at home is a snap. Get the roadmap!
- Pour the oil into a cup. The simplest will do – sunflower, olive, corn, flaxseed or coconut. Heat the oil in a bain-marie.
- Wash your hands, give your nails the desired shape. Dip your fingers into the cup of oil – it should not be too hot, you should feel a pleasant warmth.
- Keep your fingers in the oil until it cools. Shake large drops from the skin, then rub the remaining oil into it – brush through nails and cuticles, massaging your hands.
- Wash your hands and dry them with a towel. Gently push back the cuticles with an orange stick, and remove excess dead skin with a cotton swab.
