Oh, and did we mention, you can use it as a base to make your nail enamel last longer, too. Sally Hansen Cuticle Rehab (8) It gets our vote: For being exactly what the name suggests.

It gets our vote: For its even texture and for adding that glow. It’s everything we need from a primer and more. Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream (19)
