I must admit that my cuticles are probably something I often overlook when I am doing my usual nail routine however I was really excited to be able to give this product a try.
This is very easy to apply, the packaging is the same as the regular nail polish, which means you get a lot of product that will last. The brush is slightly smaller than the brushes on the polishes. Precision is not required to apply this oil just brush on and massage in (which is quite relaxing in itself) I also applied this on my cuticles while I was already wearing polish and it didn't have any negative on the polish either.
My nails are looking a feeling amazing after a week and a half using this oil. My nails have grown amazingly and they are very strong. There is no signs of weakness and my nails are not splitting or breaking. My cuticles are also very smooth and feel nice and conditioned. I also have no tears in my cuticles which is great because that can get very painful. I don't know why I don't use a cuticle oil more often.
The only annoying thing it that is is very difficult to tell this and the topcoat apart at first glance as the packaging is almost the same. It would be good if they had a sicker or something on the top to identify it like you do with the nail colour shades.
Overall this cuticle oil gets a big thumbs up from me and I will definitely repurchase once it (eventually) runs out.
I've never used a cuticle oil before. The only care I give my hands is in the form of hand cream. I'm super lucky to have been picked to trial Sally Hansen's two polishes, top coat and cuticle oil. And at the perfect time too. I had just been on holiday in Melbourne and my hands were super dry and cuticles peeling (ouch!) from the harsh weather.
I like the packaging. It's very nice and luxurious and the brush makes it easy to apply. It does look quite similar to the top coat though, and I've accidentally reached for that a couple times.
I just pop a drop on the cuticles and massage it in, which feels like my hands are super pampered. I notice that my cuticles are definitely more hydrated and there's no more peeling and bleeding! Yay! As for my nails, they're not normally brittle so I haven't noticed much change. I feel that they grow a bit quicker and thicker, but not enough to be obvious.
I love that it's subtly scented and doesn't leave a greasy film. I think it's a great product and since a little goes a long way, it'll last for ages! Would definitely repurchase.
