- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: ON A ROLL APRICOT CUTICLE OILVerified PurchaseThis is a very nice product and let me tell you I was skeptical. The oil comes out of the container in a way that doesn’t cause it to drift down your fingers or onto your pants or furniture. It rubs in nicely and sinks in fairly quickly. There is no scent. I haven’t noticed any improvement to my cuticles as of yet, but I’ve only been using it a few days. I’m hopeful. This is a win so far!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: ALL IN ONE BASE COAT & TOP COATVerified PurchaseI love this nail polish - it can be used just as a transparent base or on top of your manicure making your nails shiny and gel effect. Also helps the manicure to last longer.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified PurchaseI have been chewing my nails my entire life (49 years) and they’ve always looked hideous. I recent had acrylics put on in a salon and when I took them off my nails had grown but they were paper thin. I started using this product and now my nails are strong and rock hard. My friend and family are shocked.
I love that I can use this for natural looking nails or a top coat over polish. I will continue to use this product and I’m excited to finally have nice looking natural fingernails
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: Neutralize & Brighten (Violet)Verified PurchaseI was initially really frustrated with this polish: I was expecting two coats to give me a beautiful, subtle lavender sheen that stuck around for a week, maybe, before I needed to put on another coat. What I got is no change in color and almost all the polish chipping off in 2-3 days.
But... and this is why I still give a 4 star review... my nails are INCREDIBLY weak and easy to break, and after a week they suddenly aren't. They feel stronger at the tips. I smashed my finger into something while mowing the lawn earlier today and barely chipped a nail - I was expecting the entire end to have broken off.
So maybe this isn't as aestheticly pleasing as I hoped, but I am going to keep using it. I would love a little more color but I value having nails period over that!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: PinkVerified PurchaseAmazing. I’ve used just about everything on the market to help my thin nails that also split down the middle & this product really helped in two weeks. I know that seems impossible. Try it!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: ON A ROLL APRICOT CUTICLE OILVerified PurchaseEasy to apply and I honestly think it is helping my nails. They usually break, split, or peel. Lately I've actually had to file them!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: GLOW & SHINEVerified PurchaseI recently damaged my nails attempting to do gel at home. I chose this product thinking it would benefit my nail healing journey. While I will admit, it does seem to strengthen my nails, it chips after two days of wear. Additionally, I chose this product for the brand thinking that Essie is a top one. I will continue to use it at this point because I don’t know a better option, though I would never recommend or repurchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Color: ON A ROLL APRICOT CUTICLE OILVerified PurchaseGreat product but not sure it's worth truce the cost of the one in the bottle. Next time I'll just get the bottle.
