Love it: Leighton Denny Slick Tips Nail Rescue pen

Obsessive about oiling your cuticles like me, or in dire need of starting? Meet your newest beauty ‘pen friend’ in the form of Leighton Denny’s Slick Tips Touch & Go Nail Rescue pen - hands down (no pun intended) the biggest saviour for nails that I have met in a while.

Perfectly packaged in a wind-up pen that will be familiar to users of the likes of Touche Eclat, Slick Tips is what buff daddy Denny calls “nail magic”. Just a few clicks and slicks and dry, rough looking cuticles immediately look moisturised, whilst you’ll notice fast that it works on your nails too thanks to a vitamin rich nail reviver included in the formula. Containing vitamins E and A along with jojoba, sweet almond and castor oils to moisturise your cuticles, this little baby is also scented with lemongrass, peppermint and litsea cubeba essential oils so application is a treat.

You can use it on natural nails or gels, and apparently it can also be painted over touch dry polish to help accelerate drying time, something I haven’t tried just yet but am very keen to.

The UK-born celebrity manicurist and creator of some damn fine nail and hand treatment products really knows his stuff, and this is an absolute joy to use. It’s the only cuticle oil I’ve used that can be slicked on in the morning and keeps nails looking good all day, and the portability of the pen is just magic. Love it.
