        Really hydrating

        3 years ago
        I was gifted this apricot nail oil by obsessies to test and review, and thought it really helped to rehydrate my dried out nails. I regularly apply nail gel and find that when it comes to removing it at the end of the week using acetone, my nails are looking very dry. So I have been using the essie nail oil to help hydrate my nails and it appears to have worked really well. This nail oil smells lovely, it easy to apply by using the nail brush applicator and unlike other nail oils, does actually soak into the nail which I guess it what really helped with rehydration me nail.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        2000% works

        3 years ago
        I have had weak nails that bend, break, flake for over 40 years and I was recommended this product. I was very sceptical as nothing had ever worked before but oh my goodness this product is just the best! I have real nails all of my own, growing long and healthy I can’t praise it enough it truly is fantastic

        Does not work at all

        2 years ago
        It smels good, it absorbs quickly, but that's it! It does nothing to my cuticules. They stay so dry when I started to use it. Pure jojoba oil 100% better and efficient. This Essie cuticule oil does not do what it promises at all and that is to protect cuticles from dryness and provides nourishing moisture. I wasted my money when I bought it.

        No, I do not recommend this product.

        Avoid like the plague

        2 years ago
        I was given this as part of a gift and as I only use quality oils for my nails I looked up the inredients and was astonished to find it contains 29 ingredients none of which is Apricot Kernel oil, I am very disapointed and am at a loss as to why it is called Apricot oil, if you want a good oil for your nails try JoJoba oil or Sweet Almond oil

        No, I do not recommend this product.

        Doesn't work

        a year ago
        Bought this for nail growth as I am trying to quit biting my nails, did not see any results. I saw a lot more results with the OPI nail oil.

        No, I do not recommend this product.

        Great moisturising !

        3 days ago
        I love the scent and I used it on my hand nails to begin with. Great! I then developed fungal toe nails which became brittle and broke. I bought the very expensive branded treatment. Which helped but then it would just return. So I started using the cuticle oil on my toe nails and under the nail and have really healthy toe nails and the fungus has stayed away. Don’t really know why but better than any other thing I’ve tried.

        Yes, I recommend this product.
