Hardworking Hands, Everyday Care: My Nailed It Story

I do more than make skincare. I also love helping my son Austin with car restoration at his auto body shop. My hands get plenty of real-world use, and one experience gave me a whole new appreciation for caring for them.

The day everything changed for my thumb

On June 24, 2025, I smashed my thumb while cleaning up a car transmission. Yes, a car transmission! Thankfully, I was wearing a glove, and my friend Dr. Alan Sanders got me in quickly and stitched me up. He warned me that I might lose the nail and that it might not grow back as expected.

Over time, it darkened, and I worried it would come off. Later, my fingertip started to lose feeling, which led me to see a hand specialist, Dr. Patel, who again said I would lose my nail.

Where Nailed It fits into my story

During this experience, I started using Nailed It as part of my nail and cuticle care routine. Over time, I noticed changes in my fingernail's appearance and thought it was going to fall off. I continued using Nailed It, I did not lose the nail, and it eventually looked much more like itself, apart from one small area.

That is my personal story, proof that Nailed It helped save my nail. The balm moisturizes dry cuticles and the skin around the nails.

A little daily care for hardworking hands

You do not need a dramatic story to give your cuticles some attention. Nailed It Nail & Cuticle Balm combines jojoba, sweet almond, rosehip, and other plant oils with mango butter, shea butter, and beeswax to help moisturize and soften dry cuticles and the skin around your nails.

The .7 oz size makes it easy to keep nearby for an everyday care ritual. After a busy day, take a moment to massage a small amount around each nail. It is a simple way to give your hands a little of the attention they deserve.

How to use Nailed It

Gently massage a small amount onto clean, intact cuticles and the skin around your nails. Use daily as part of your hand care routine. Do not apply to open wounds. I only applied it to my nail bed.

My takeaway

From skin care to car restoration, I love working with my hands. This experience reminded me not to take them for granted. For me, Nailed It belongs in those small everyday moments of care: softening dry cuticles, adding moisture, and giving hardworking hands a little love.
