I was lucky enough to be sent two polishes, the cuticle oil and the top coat to trial from Beauty Review. The oil is something I normally wouldn't use but I am trying to make this a regular item in my nail routine now!
My nails have grown! They usually struggle to grow as they break so easily. But since using this product I have noticed that they have definitely grown! So that alone is a reason I will keep using this product in hopes in the long term it helps fix the damage to my nails. I haven’t noticed a huge miraculous difference in the health of my nails yet; the ridges, peeling, etc. But they haven’t broken since using this product – only grown. Will I finally have long nails?!
I haven’t ever noticed a difference using any cuticle product so I don’t normally use one. I have only been using this product it for two weeks so this may be why I have only noticed them growing a little quicker. Whether it is attributed to the Color Therapy polish or the oil, I did notice when I removed my nail polish a week into the trial, my nails didn’t peel like they usually do when I remove polish; they weren’t as dry. The evidence of past damage was still there, but it didn’t continue or get worse like it normally does. On that note, I will continue using it to see if longer term usage improves my nails further.
This oil comes in matching packaging to the polishes and has a nice short-bristled brush. This makes it really easy to apply. You simply brush the oil onto your nails and cuticles daily and massage it in. It also suggests you wash the oil off prior to applying nail polish. This oil doesn't have a scent and isn't overly 'oily'. It doesn't feel terrible to use. Like the polishes, it is enriched with argan oil so I can only hope that its continued usage along with the nail polishes will improve the health of my nails.
Would I buy it again? Probably! I will have to continue using it in order to determine whether it is in fact helping the damage to my nails or not in order to decide whether or not to repurchase. The container is big enough that this oil will last a long time; definitely long enough to determine whether it can fix my dreadful nails for good. After that, if it helps as it is already I will definitely be repurchasing!
The Sally Hansen Colour Therapy Cuticle and Nail Oil is a lovely product, like a nail polish in terms of packaging only with a shorter, sturdier brush for applying the oil to your fingernails and cuticles. I love the subtle scent and how easy it is to apply, with the same flat-style brush that the range has for nail polish.
I haven't been able to notice a difference yet in terms of nail strength after applying, but I have found it to be a great general moisturiser for the whole nail-area. Smells lovely too. Easy to pop on before bed or after a shower.
