Product Information

The oil is incredibly rich and left our nails feeling nourished and strong, plus it seemed to help with growth. The brush-on oil is easy to use and is especially great for severely cracked cuticles and brittle nails. Because most cuticle treatments come in oil form, these can be quite slick and leave your fingers feeling slippery. We evaluated each cuticle oil based on the quality of its formula, feel of its consistency and level of absorption, as well as the overall experience and final result.

By 1916, this included manicure implements – like flexible steel files, emery boards, orange sticks and cotton wool – along with a range of nail polishing preparations, nail white, nail bleach and nail rouge. With the addition of keratin, this nourishing formula stimulates growth, while jojoba oil moisturizes. This cuticle treatment does contain oils derived from nuts, so those who have nut allergies should avoid. Designed to be used on your cuticles and really, anywhere else on your body, we found it seriously conditioning, likely due to the blend of honeysuckle and primrose extracts with jojoba and almond oils, which provide ultra moisturizing power.As an example, the logical form of nail polish is the cake, and we were, for a time, inclined to manufacture it as our leading polish. Their strong point was the fact that they could talk the girls’ own language—could bring out just the point which the manicure girl wants to know, and which no ordinary salesgirl could ever discover. Copying an idea of Dura-Gloss it capped the bottles with a top that had the shade of the polish inserted into it.

So, if you’re looking for something you can use around the clock, stick to the faster-absorbing formulas that leave a grease-free finish.Active Ingredients: Avocado and jojoba oils, cactus flower extract | Applicator: Sponge pen | Best for: On-the-go use, nail growth | Size: 0. In just four weeks nails feel revitalised, stronger and shiny, while cuticles are soft, soothed and conditioned. Between 1934 and 1939, the year Revlon introduced its first lipstick, Cutex extended its shade range adding: Mauve, Vermillion, and Mahogany (1934); Robin Red, Rust, Light Rust, and Old Rose (1936); Clover, Tulip and Burgundy (1937); Thistle, Heather, and Laurel (1938); and Orchid, Gadabout, Hijinks, Riot, and Cameo (1939).

We were big fans of this oil’s applicator brush, which made it easy to control exactly how much product we were applying.

It keeps the nails flexible so they bend but don't break, it prevents the layers of the natural nail from peeling, and it prevents hangnails,” Kandalec says. Shake a little onto the palm of one hand, use it as a buffer, brushing it lightly, quickly, over the nails of the hand.

It took around 10 minutes to fully absorb, but the more we massaged it in, the faster it seemed to absorb, and even when it was sitting on top of skin, it felt silky rather than greasy. Coral nails are bewilderingly lovely with white, pale pink, beige, gray, “the blues,” black and dark brown … daytime or evening frocks. There’s a lot of talk about nails these days, from keeping up with the latest nail polish shades, trendy new nail shapes, or bright nail art, there’s one realm of the nail world that always seems to get overlooked: Nail health. Since starting to use the oil, we’ve had far fewer hangnails and haven’t had any nails break, plus it seemed to offer some protection from acetone and other harsh ingredients during a manicure. To apply cuticle oil, hold the dropper a couple of inches above your nails and squeeze 1 drop onto each nail.Above: 1938 Designer endorsements from Elsa Schiaparelli (1890-1973), Alix Barton (1903-1993), Lucien Lelong (1889-1958) and Jeanne Lanvin (1867-1946).
