I’ve read about the importance of oiling your nails here as well as the importance of keeping polish on them to protect against water. I hear people talk about oiling at least 3 x day or so. I’m confused though, if I have polish on them almost all the time then am I just oiling the cuticle area? I would think the oil doesn’t penetrate through the nail polish so the main part of the nail bed only gets oiled in between manicures. If I have polish on my nails should I still put oil everywhere on the mail as well as the cuticle?

Thank you all who have been helping me grow my nails! Everyone is so generous with sharing their knowledge 😊 💅
