I started using Essie cuticle oil in November after using OPI for so many years, considering the cost savings. I applied it on my nails and toes every night after applying hand and feet cream before bedtime. To me, the smell is great, I used just the bare minimum, actually I did not noticed it was yellow, maybe poor lighting on my part. It is a great cuticle oil for $9!
I'm currently using this. I apply it at night so the colour doesn't bother me. I quite enjoy it.
I can remember having Essie apricot oil many years ago and it wasn’t yellow. This newer formulation is disappointing. I wish they wouldn’t add so much fragrance to these oils since fragrance can be irritating. Thanks for testing these products for us. ❣️❣️
I actually really like it. The smell is nice and it does not last too long, so it really does not bother me. I also use it only before I go to bed, so the colour is not a problem as it does not stain my natural nails or skin. So I guess to each their own, but I like it:)
Hey Marija! Cool beans, glad you like it. You're right! each to their own, right?! I'm sure there are people out there that don't like the products that we like. It's all good :) We're just happy to see you found something that works for you and you can be consistent in using. Have a great day! - MSL
Product reviews are useful; they can help people avoid wasting money on disappointing products.
I bought this oil today. My bottle does not have the nice brush that was in yours!! You got a bonus!
I have the old version and it is more orange and actually smells a bit like apricots. Kinda okey, but not as nourishing as I would hope, I preferred just the mandel oil I used earlier I think, although the apricot smell is kinda nice.
I recently bought the Cuccio pomegranate oil, and that doesn't seem to cause any issues like the Essie. I had the Essie apricot oil in the past and did not care for it.
I got this oil because it was so readily available, and I will use it up because it works well, but I now know there are good ones that aren’t orange so I won’t be repurchasing. I think reviews like this are helpful.
Annatto is the ingredient which brings the color. It is also used to dye cheese (yes) and wool. I love your videos. Soooooo much information. Thank you.
I love Young Nails rose cuticle oil, which is pretty much clear. I ordered their new citrus scented version but didn’t realize it would be bright yellow so I still haven’t tried it 🙈 this really does look like someone poured the grease off of a slice of pizza into a bottle though!
Oh man, I used to love YN oil! The smell was delicious! And the little rose petals in the bottle were a nice touch too!
Looked like it's the CI 75120 Annatto that's the problem. It's the same thing they use in cheddar cheese to make it orange. Why would they even add it? To make it seem more apricot-y? Do you ever use Bliss Kiss oil? I love it - high jojoba content.
Very good point about the ingredient! I haven’t used Bliss Kiss oil. I’m sure it’s great, I hear many people are having great results using it. Personally I like mixtures of few oils, a little bit of everything:)
I use the Essie oil and love it.
It really really works though!! So if you can stand the feeling and colour it is very moisturising
The feeling is fine. I don’t mind rich products on my hands. The color though is unnecessary and I do worry about staining lighter colors when used constantly 🥲
I’ve used this product before like years ago 😅 I guess when it first came out. It was great. To me lately it seems that maybe the formula has changed. I don’t remember it be so “orangey” in color. It’s still a great product. When I use it I just don’t apply a bunch of it. I love Essie products too! ☺️ I do have a question: Have you tried the Static Nail polish line? This line has been my go to between wearing gel polish. Also what do you think of the Orly line of polishes? Have you tried the Orly Breathable polishes? I love those as well 🥰
I love your channel, I am a newly licensed nail Technician and you are helping me to learn so much. Thank you!❤️ PS I think I’ll be passing on this oil…unless I maybe choose to put it on at night? I just don’t like the thought of that yellow look. I definitely think I’ll be sticking to my CND solar oil for now
Yikes! I realize cuticle oil/balm formulations are a very personal preference but this one is such a hard pass. Thanks as always 🙂
yes please it would be very helpful - your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
I've used the Essie Oil in the past, and haven't purchased it since because of the color!
I won’t be repurchasing either 🥲
I love the abricot smell and put it on at the evening before I go to bed together with a handcreme or the Dior abricot nail/handcreme 🍑🥰😴 Usually when I have no nailpolish on. Doesn’t smell like pizza at all😂🍕
This one doesn’t really have a Abricot smell ;(. It smells like perfume. Not pizza but it looks like it a bit.
I think they changed the formula. It used to be different I hear
They should ‘t have changed the formula! The one I still have is great 😭
Thanks for the review! It's a helpful one. More like these pls 🙏. I am using Sally Hansen Nail&Cuticle Oil and I'm very happy with it. Since I've started to use it 6 months ago, I've noticed that my cuticles don't grow as much. I do use it daily.
I recently found a nail polish brand Kur which is quite pricey (17 eur/12ml bottle) but looks professional in the shop. I tested their cuticle oil and it's smells great. Do you know anything about this brand? Would you recommend it?
Hi Dee! I think when you use oil the skin around the nail (not cuticle) is more flexible and it doesn’t get stuck to the nail which will pull it and stretch it. But it nicely bounces back. Cuticle, which sheds under proximal nail fold is not affected by oil. It’s a dead skin cells that sit between nail plate and the proximal nail fold forming a seal to protect the matrix area.
@@TheSalonLife Thank you for the information. Before I used the cuticle cream from Trind but now using only the cuticle oil it makes a huge difference.
Thanks for the review 😊
I‘m always too lazy to buy nail oil. Instead, I use jojoba oil , which I use for my face.
That totally works too! Or you can make a mixture of different oils like avocado oil, sweet almond oil, grapeseed oil, wheat germ oil, apricot kernel oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, even adding some sesame seed oil, evening primrose oil and rosehip oil :))
@@TheSalonLife Thanks for your detailed answer! I appreciate it very much.
All these oils together sounds like a great oil salat😄
Thank u ...plz more like this 💜💜💜
So helpful! Is there a less perfumey oil that you recommend?
Thanks Sarah. Less perfume...that comes down to personal preference. There are some like the CND solar oil I personally find to have a nice almond smell that isn't overpowering. However, there are those that have a distain for it and find it has too much smell. It all depends.
If you find many of the oils out there are too perfume-y for your taste you could consider making your own, just a thought.
Have a great day - MSL
@@TheSalonLife Thank you!
Happy Friday Anna and MSL, Loved the review and yes, more would be great. As far as the oil goes, why in the world would they make it yellow? I don't understand that. It looks nice in the bottle, but looks unappealing on the nails. Thanks for the vid. Hugs as always. :)
I know, maybe so it looks “so rich”? Not a fan. Believe it or not but I added a dropper to my Cuccio oil (which is very light in color) and just such a small amount made my Cuccio oil orange 🍕. The amount of pigment in Essie oil is quite high 😢
Ps. Happy weekend yay!!
@@TheSalonLife That's as bad as having the corn and mashed potatoes on your plate touch each other! 🤮🤣
Hi thank you for all your videos. I'm wondering if you like keratin protein for nails to recommend or review thank you for your time.
I just bought it recently to try something new, and found it too oily LOL and I found the scent too strong for what I like, especially if you are going to eat food with your hands you can still smell the scent. I make my own cuticle oil at home for much cheaper using jojoba oil and Vitamin E mixed, unscented and works like a charm, i just refill an old Sally Hansen Cuticle oil bottle I had from before. great video!
If I were to make my oil it would be a mixture of different oils like avocado oil, grape seed oil, safflower oil, jojoba, maybe some wheat germ oil, sweet almond oil. And Vit E as a preservative.
I really like your videos. Thank you so much
Thank you so much Ilya! We are very happy to hear this ❤️
I love to see more videos like this. Have you tried Shop NBM oils fav?
I’ve never heard about Shop NBM oils till now. I looked it up and their oils have nice ingredients. Other then addition of essential oils. I don’t mind some but some are too strong smelling
The color is likely from a high grade/concentration of vit e! Editing to add after reading comments: yes, annatto is likely the biggest contributor.
Yes, it must be Anatto. Vit E is not that yellow and judging by the ingredient list it’s not a main ingredient :)
@@TheSalonLife I have a pure, high IU concentration vitamin e oil that is quite orange. But annatto is much darker.
I agree with those who couldn't use it because of the smell. Is there an oil you recommend? And am I understanding correctly- oils are applied nightly over painted nails? I paint my nails 1x a week, so if oils need to go on bare nails it would be weekly for me. LOL! I guess what I'm saying is I need a nail oil tutorial!
Good point I should have addressed. Oil should be applied as often as possible. When you think about it you put cream on your face after each time we wash it, right?
Oil and creams protect the skin when they are on the skin. Ideally cream oil should be applied after each wash.
And oils don’t just benefit the nail plate but the skin around the nails (mistakenly called cuticle). They also benefit the coating on the nails. Gel polish or polish. They plasticize the coating.
I have a question about should use the oil every day? Thanks!
Hi Cecelia, Using oil everyday is a very good practice. We tend to use oil multiple times a day. - MSL
@@TheSalonLife Thanks!
Yes please do similar videos for product reviews
Thank you Safa! ❤️
I have Essie but don’t really use it cause of the colour. I’d rather use Matterhorn Oils for their scents, and CND Solar & Rescue FX ones for heavy duty overnight work.
So can you use this before you put on nail polish also? Or can you just use it after?😍
Hi Marte! Just use it after. :) Have a great day! - MSL
After only. Before the nail polish the nail has to be scrubbed clean with preferably 99% alcohol or/and with pure acetone. Any traces of oil and the polish will not bond to the nail.
Just like you paint a wall, you have to make sure surface is dry and clean. - Anna
@@TheSalonLife Thank you so much!
Great video. Please do more. This oil is a hard no for me. Thanks for saving me $$$.
Thank you Suzanne! I think I’m going to add this oil to other oils to dilute it and use it up
Great job guys!
Thank you Georgia! ❤️
What is the price of the Essie oil & the Cucchio oil?
It used to be orange with no annato I believe. But the scent is quite strong unfortunately
Why so orange? I don’t get it.
helpful
Why did they make the oil orange? So strange.
Why does it have to contain annatto?
Good question! No idea. It’s not necessary
💅😻💅😻
EW Da-vid. Essie should really look at their coloring choices. By the way, I had already made up my mind not to buy this oil after reading many previous reviews on Amazon so The SalonLife is not to blame for negativity. As the oil seeps under the free edges it really does look dirty, ruining a perfectly clean and lovely manicure. I do love the Cuccio oils and might even consider the Essie Apricot at a later date if Essie tames the use of such Cheeto-strong colors, regardless if they're plant base. Hard pass.
I got this oil, but I do like better the Sally Hansen one. this one is vey runny.
Why would they add annato to a nail oil. Annato is a food coloring agent. Yikes
maybe so it looks "richer"?
I hated the smell of it, couldn't use it 🤢
Too much perfume, no?
