1. Etude House Help My Fingernail Pack
Like the rest of your skin, your nails need to be moisturized, too. The Help My Fingernail pack allows you to do just that with one application. Leave the papery finger masks on for a few minutes to allow your nails to soak. When you remove the application, your cuticles will be noticeably softer and your nails will be brighter. This effect lasts for at least a week, although results may vary.
