Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil

Full confession - I am a notorious nail bitter and a nail polish addict. I sometimes change my polish 3 to 5 times a week, sometimes more, if the nail polish is chipping or doesn’t hold up well to wear and tear.  When taking some shots for my nail polish review, I noticed my cuticles look...well..to be nice...Ugh...eww. I scoured the web for some recommendations to see if there is anything to make my hands...well model like...pretty delusional of me, I know. I read a bunch of rave reviews of this and decided to give it a try. I should first note that I loved the applicator, it was so easy to apply to the spots that needed TLC without covering your hands with the treatment. In all honesty, I did ended up covering my hands with the treatment for a little extra TLC. I did notice that the oil was a bit greasy and took a bit of time to absorb fully. The oil is lightly scented and did a nice job of “tidying up” my cuticles. Essie recommends using it twice a day, every day -- I barely remember and have time to take off my makeup! Let alone add another step that my daily regime. I figured I will just apply this when I am doing my nails and well, I do see an improvement -- so at least that is something.
