essie Nail Care, 8-Free Vegan, Apricot Nail and Cuticle Oil, softened and nourished cuticles, 0.46 fl oz

This is a great and inexpensive cuticle oil with a brush applicator. It is a slightly watery formula but it keeps cuticles and nails hydrated. The skin around my nails look a lot healthier and have less hanging skin and hangnails since I have decided to keep them moisturized. Has a light scent of apricot.

This is a very nice product and let me tell you I was skeptical. The oil comes out of the container in a way that doesn’t cause it to drift down your fingers or onto your pants or furniture. It rubs in nicely and sinks in fairly quickly. There is no scent. I haven’t noticed any improvement to my cuticles as of yet, but I’ve only been using it a few days. I’m hopeful. This is a win so far!

I wear acrylic nails and they have RUINED my natural nails. They were weak, brittle, splitting, wouldn't grow. I wanted to stop wearing the acrylic nails to help my nails recover but my nails were a mess. I bought this based on the positive reviews, hoping for the best but not expecting much. I was very positively surprised. This stuff works great! My nails are stronger, way less brittle and they have started growing! No more splitting! In the beginning, i wore 2 coats of it under my acrylic nails and that actually protected them and my nails grew and hardened under them. I am very happy with this product!! My only con would be I don't love the smell, but other than that it's great. It evens dries pretty quickly!

The best tip coat I have found. Dries quickly and keeps polish looking good for a long time.

I wanted a polish to wear when I keep my nails short and without any gel manicure. I stopped getting them indefinitely because they were ruining my nails. And all the local salons are high-volume/less concerned with your experience type of places. I keep my nails short most of the time now, and I like this polish's natural look. It lasts nearly two weeks with two coats on well-taken-care-of nails.

This works well as a base coat, I can even fairly evenly peel it off after 1-2 weeks of use. Using as a top coat however I have found that it not only doesn't cure the below layers well, but it also dulls the polish a bit. Essie Good To Go is a much better top coat from the same brand.

Great product but not sure it's worth truce the cost of the one in the bottle. Next time I'll just get the bottle.
