Abstract
The invention provides a hot oil treatment for fingernails which involves a fingertip soak in a hot oil treatment bath for a period of three to five minutes. Then, the cuticle of the nail is pushed back. The oil treatment bath includes an emulsion formed in hot water from a blended mixture of vegetable and animal oils, emollients, proteins and vitamins. The invention also provides a novel packaging system which both shock-absorbingly cradles a bottle containing the oil treatment and provides a disposable soaking basin.
