What are cuticles?
yes, you apply the cuticle oil on your cuticles, (and push them back) and then apply the polish, so that way you can coat the whole nail with polish and not just part of the nail (the bottom of the nail will be covered by your cuticles if they're not pushed back and you don't want that) :)
First off you should never cut your cuticles only push them back, cutting them could cause damage or infections. Your cuticles grow daily as your nails grow 1/4 an inch everyday.

Rinse off with warm water and moisturize your nails and cuticles afterwards for best results.
