I didn't know how to call this post, but let it be a "routine" :). This post is about things that help me with my mani. I don't use anything special.

Neutrogena hand & nail cream; Oriflame spicy ginger bread hand cream; Ноготок (Nogotok) cuticle oil; Avon cuticle balm |
Of course, I moisturize my hands with hand cream every day (well, I think everyone do that :) ). I use different creams and right now I'm using
Neutrogena hand & nail cream and
Oriflame spicy ginger bread hand cream. I like this
Neutrogena cream. As for
Oriflame one, I can't say it's perfect, but it's ok. I like how it smells (actually I like all creams that smells yummy :) ). Also I moisturize cuticles every day with
Avon cuticle balm or with
Ноготок (Nogotok) cuticle oil (ingredients:
water, almond oil, rose oil, vitamin E, panthenol). Both cuticle moisturizers are rather good.
I think now I have to say a few words about
Ноготок (Nogotok) brand.
Ноготок (Nogotok) (in english "nail") is a Ukrainian brand.
Ноготок (Nogotok) produces
nail polishes, nail care products and nail polish removers. Their products're rather cheap (for example, nail polishes cost 1,5 - 2 $ each).

Ноготок (Nogotok) whitening agent; Avon adhesive base coat; Ноготок (Nogotok) top coat |
As for base coats, now I'm using
whitening agent by
Ноготок (Nogotok) and
Avon adhesive base coat. I'm not sure if
whitening agent by
Ноготок (Nogotok) really helps to make my nails whiter, but it's good as a base coat :). And also I use
Ноготок (Nogotok) top coat.

Avon quick dry nail spray; Avon quick dry drops; Oriflame quick dry drops |
Sometimes I use quick dries. I use quick dry
nail spray and
drops by
Avon and also quick dry
drops by
Oriflame. Both
Avon products are on oil base. I don't like the
spray because when I'm using it, the
spray goes not only on my nails, but also everywhere around. The quick
dry
drops by
Oriflame're not oily. After I put a drop of it on my nail,
it gets absorbed instantly, and that's why I like it. All this three quick dries help nail polish to dry a little bit more quickly.

Ноготок (Nogotok) nail polish remover with camomile extract from the Classic Collection |
And of course I use a nail polish remover :). It's already been a long time since I'm using Ноготок (Nogotok) nail polish removers. This one, that I'm using now is 50 ml and it's with camomile extract from the Classic Collection, but usually I buy 100 ml ones. I prefer Ноготок (Nogotok) nail polish removers with acetone. In their Classic Collection there're also a pink nail polish remover, which is with rose extract, a blue nail polish remover (with seaweed extract) and a green one (with tea tree extract).
