CND Solar Oil Nail & Cuticle Care 3.7ml

CND Solar Oil Nail & Cuticle Care 3.7ml is the brand's iconic conditioning oil for nails and cuticles, formulated to keep both nail plate and surrounding skin hydrated, flexible and healthy. The compact 3.7ml bottle is the handbag-friendly size of the same blend salons recommend as daily aftercare for CND Shellac and CND Vinylux manicures, helping extend wear and protect against splitting and dryness.

About CND

CND, short for Creative Nail Design, was founded in California in 1979 and is one of the most established names in professional nail care, best known for inventing the Shellac power polish system and the Vinylux long-wear varnish. Solar Oil has been part of the CND professional kit for decades and remains a staple in salons worldwide.

Key ingredients

• Jojoba seed oil: Closely mimics the skin's natural oils and absorbs into the nail plate and cuticles to soften and condition.
• Sweet almond oil: A lightweight emollient that helps nourish dry, brittle nails and surrounding skin.
• Rice bran oil: Adds an antioxidant boost and supports a healthier-looking nail bed.
• Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate): Helps protect against environmental damage and conditions cuticles.
• Light fragrance: Gives the formula its instantly recognisable subtle scent.

Who it's for

Solar Oil is for anyone who wants healthier-looking nails and cuticles — whether they prefer to keep their nails bare, polished with regular varnish, or wearing CND Shellac or Vinylux. The 3.7ml format is particularly useful for keeping in a handbag, gym bag or desk drawer for a quick top-up through the day.

How to use

1. Gently shake the bottle to recombine the oil layers.
2. Use the built-in brush applicator to paint a small amount onto each nail and surrounding cuticle.
3. Massage in using small circular motions for around 30 seconds per hand to encourage absorption.
4. Apply daily — and especially after washing hands or removing nail varnish — to maintain hydration.
5. Top up before bed for an overnight conditioning treatment.
