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

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!

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

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!

Perfect for a minimalist manicure that still feels put-together.Highly recommend if you like soft, clean nails without the fuss.

I have been chewing my nails my entire life (49 years) and they’ve always looked hideous. I recent had acrylics put on in a salon and when I took them off my nails had grown but they were paper thin. I started using this product and now my nails are strong and rock hard. My friend and family are shocked.I love that I can use this for natural looking nails or a top coat over polish. I will continue to use this product and I’m excited to finally have nice looking natural fingernails

Provides a natural, polished look. Works to strengthen your natural nails. I followed the directions on the box. Would suggest to wait 15 minutes before applying second coat. I found this product to be a confidence booster.

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.

I have no idea how this nail polish stayed on my nails the first week I used it. I use a lot of sanitizer and other solvents at work. Usually, I wear gloves but inevitably it will touch my skin and nails. It did not budge and I was impressed!However, the following weeks it just flaked off my nails every 2 to 3 days. I can't take stars off, tho. It is not as durable as I thought, but it still hardens the nails and conditions them thoroughly. No complaints.I use essies hard to resist to maintain and enhance my nail health and it does a fantastic job.The product is hot pink in the bottle but on the nails it's only a hint of sheer color. I usually add a coat every 2 to 3 days to maintain the shine after the initial application of 2 coats. 4 coats is visibly pink but not overbearing, just not natural anymore. If you flood your cuticles they will look bloodshot after multiple coats.Nails are harder, not bendy and grow without splitting or peeling. I love it. You can still break your nails by being careless.Don't forget to moisturize your hands and nails regularly, because no polish on this planet can counteract the damage of dried out crumbly nails and cuticles.
