How does this oil improve cuticle and nail appearance?

The blend of apricot kernel oil and jojoba oil conditions the cuticle area to reduce flakiness and visible dryness, giving nails a neater frame for polish. Regular use helps maintain a smoother nail border, making manicures look more professional and long-lasting. It works well as a finishing touch after polish or as an overnight treatment for deeper hydration.

• Contains apricot kernel and jojoba oils to replenish moisture
• Quick-absorbing, non-greasy finish for immediate refinement
• Use post-manicure or nightly to soften and smooth cuticles

When and how should I apply essie Apricot Cuticle Oil?

Apply a few drops to each cuticle zone after cleaning or after applying nail polish for added shine and hydration. Massage gently into the cuticle and nail plate to boost circulation and promote flexible, less brittle nails. For best results, apply daily or whenever cuticles feel tight.
