Has anyone tried the new Essie oil? I was thinking about buying it. Currently I'm using Sally Hansen Healthy Cuticles Now cream...it's ok. It pretty much keeps the worst of the damage at bay since I'm always getting my hands in an extremely harsh sanitizing solution (it's vile and very drying...my cuticles go to hell all the time because of the stuff).
If you've tried more products what do you think is more effective? Cream or oils?

I'm currently using the SH cream as well and I agree, it helps keep the damage at bay but I find that I really have to keep up with the application throughout the day or I'll start looking a bit haggard. I like using the cream during the day since it absorbs so quickly and it's easy to apply, and at night I use 3-4 drops of argan oil on each of my fingers and massage that into my cuticles. It's messier and takes longer to sink in, but I feel like the effect is more drastic. I think I may get the Essie oil just so I can stop using all my argan oil on my hands. If it's not too messy or cumbersome, I might just switch to that. I've heard really good things about Lush's Lemony Flutter as a cuticle treatment, but it's on the pricy side and I don't live anywhere near a Lush so I haven't had a chance to try it, but if you have the opportunity it may be worth looking into.

Yeah I guess I was sort of wondering how absorbent the essie oil (or any other oil) is in general. The only time I ever have cuticle oil on is at a salon and they wipe it off. I haven't tried it at home at all.

I looked for the Essie oil at Target today and I didn't see it, but this post has me intrigued. I'm gonna pick it up as soon as I find it and I'll report back. I think in general that oils take a bit longer to absorb but are more effective.

At my Target they have it on one of the smaller endcaps, not in the nailpolish section where the Essie normally is.

Ooh, good to know. I was looking at the nail polish section. I'll probably be going to Target again tonight and I'll check the endcaps.
