Before I start, I was sent this product by Beauty Review as part of the Sally Hansen Colour Therapy set to trial. This review is 110% honest and I truly do love this product.
My cuticles are usually a little dry (not too dry though, I don't usually take much notice of it). I used this for around 7-10 days while wearing nail polish and then used it for a couple more days after using the nail polish (and still using!) :))
So here's what I think: Application - OMG IT'S SO EASY AND CONVENIENT!! The shape of the brush is perfect and it's very soft. It goes around the whole cuticle without missing any bit. It also goes on smoothly and doesn't look oily at all!
Scent - The smell is so nice!!! If you smell it from the bottle it seems like it has a very strong smell. But after application, I find the scent to be a very pretty subtle vanilla-ish fragrance. I love it!!
Results with nail polish - I was quick to notice that my nails look very healthy even with the nail polish on! My cuticles were soft (they usually dry up when I have nail polish on) and smooth (no pieces of skin peeling off -which is very surprising!) I think the Sally Hansen Colour Therapy Nail polish might have also contributed to the healthiness of my nail/cuticles as well as this cuticle oil. However, I'm honestly more than impressed with this oil!
Results after nail polish - No matter what nail polish remover I use, I always seem to get dry nails and cuticles for the couples after removing the polish. Which using this product after removing, I am AMAZED!!! No dry nails, No dry cuticles, Soft nails, Shiny nails, Healthy looking nails. What more would I want from a cuticle oil!!
Let's be honest though -I would have never thought about picking up a cuticle from a store. BUT after trying this, I will keep on regularly using them!!! They may seem a bit expensive for some but if you enjoy wearing nail polish/ wear nail polish regularly then you might want to give this product a serious thought. You'll be amazed at how big a difference it makes!!!
I bought this after seeing it go up as a trial on Beauty Review as I really, really wanted to try it!
This nail and cuticle oil comes in a classy looking round glass bottle with a square bottom, and rose gold top, in which all of the new Argan Oil formula range is packaged. The bottle contains 14.7ml.
The formula is really easy to apply. The brush is flat and wide, same as the nail polish, and I love it because you can cover your whole nail in three strokes! You can paint the oil over your whole bare nail and cuticles, or over the top of your polish onto your cuticles. It does not affect your nail polish.
I often apply mine at night before I go to sleep. It really does make a difference as I get quite dry, hard skin on my cuticles and under my nails, and the oil definitely helps to soften it. You don't need to use very much either, and you don't have to apply it every night to see an improvement.
I definitely recommend using oil if you suffer from dry cuticles and nails.
Tips: Massage the oil into your cuticles, nails, and nail-bed after applying.
