Ingredients? Easy - Jojoba oil, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B.
One thing about me, I am cuticle oil and hand lotion hoarder. I have to have it where ever I am - my nail room, computer desk, night stand, kitchen, laundry room, my purse, car and at work...
I was really looking forward to receiving this one.
On the photo above, I applied the oil and massaged it on my bare nails, skin around and then whole hand...
Time lapse was about 5-10 minutes, and you can see that my hand is not visibly oily (you can see some oil on the bottle, oopsie), but you can see that my skin looks visibly soft and moisturized.
My nail tips are still dry, and later on I applied the oil, placed my non latex gloves, and I proceeded with the house clean up. Warm hands will absorb the oil faster, and gloves not just protecting my hands and bare nails from the harsh cleaning supplies, they also keep the oil on. My tips were almost transparent afterwards, which means that they absorbed the oil. Jojoba oil has one of the smallest molecules that is very similar chemically to the sebum your body produces, so it is nicely absorbed. That makes the nails flexible, so if you accidentally hit them they will bend, instead of shatter.
I totally forgot to take the photo of my nails like that. Sorry.
Another tip - keep your oils in the fridge if you purchase more than you can use up in a short period of time, as oils tend to get rancid. If that happens, use it on your toes - they will be happy to receive some pampering, and it will be far away from your nose to smell it. As you can see, little get waisted in my household.
Another thing - This oil is not scented. That is a big plus for me, as I am especially sensitive to the scents, and some of them will trigger the migraine headache with me.
I hope this helped you little bit.

Who knew I had so much to say about oil!
What I totally forgot to tell you at the beginning is that this is Madam Glam birthday month, and this is Madam Glam birthday week! They turned 6 years young, and for that occasion, Madam Glam released a brand new, glamorous collection named 6th Lust Collection.
Collection has 10 new sparkly soak off gel polishes - they require gel base coat and gel top coat, and I was lucky enough to receive 5 of those shades.
First one I wanted to share with you is named The Crystal Piano.
As you can see from my swatch photo, for this collection Madam Glam came up with the matte black bottle with a shiny, elegant gold cap. Such a classy look. Name is not written on the bottom of the bottle, but directly on the label.
You know that I love to play on the name of the polish, and I just could not help myself here, so I added some piano keys and some musical notes...
I actually did not stray from the color scheme of the bottle... didn't I?!
In any case, I was really happy with this look, and I hope you will like it too.
Have a wonderful day.
Cheers!
