What the catalog says about Oriflame Beauty Nail Food:
Revitalizes and restores weak nails
With nourishing natural berry oils
Non-greasy and quickly absorbed
With nourishing natural berry oils
Non-greasy and quickly absorbed
My Opinion:
Let me tell you that I used it as was instructed in their brochure. So after I took out my nail paint with remover I applied a layer of it. Now the bottle has a yellow colored liquid but on applying it had a translucent layer with a veryyy mild sweetish fragrance (good nothing overpowering). I don’t know why but I had this notion that it was supposed to dry just like my oriflame nail enamel did so even after 10 mins when it was not dried I lost my little patience and touched it ,then wiped it off after some time.
Now the second time I kept it on and it takes 1 hr to absorb, I was confused as to whether it was absorbed by my nails or the cuticles and area around nails.
Now the product err.. Nail food had oils definitely but it had a very watery consistency. It was non greasy as mentioned but not quickly absorbed it takes a decent hour to absorb if you haven’t already impatiently wiped it off some how. Well honestly I dint like it much since I would probably use any other oil for nourishment. The product confuses me: oil inside a nail paint bottle and applied with a nail paint brush.
Another thing is that most of the product is absorbed by cuticles and area around nails so if you already have a cuticle gel (I have avon vitamin C enriched cuticle gel) then you can probably skip this product.

No instant result though my cuticles were moistened all rite.
Can be easily substituted by any body oil.
An interesting childhood anecdote which I remembered was when I was a kid my maternal uncle (choto mama) had to bathe me up and before that he used to rub himself and me with lots of mustard oil and made a point to put a drop of oil on each finger and toe nail for both of us. He said that it would give us shiny nails and to this day he has a very good skin and nails :)

Well this product will definitely last me long but after I finish it I don't plan on repurchasing

I agree, this product does not show any immediate results :(
i tried it just some minutes ago.And yeah it definitely takes too much time .... But can it make my nails long ?? :P someone please tell me . I love to keep my nails long.Will this product work ???
i just thought it would be like a a nailpolish wen it cmes to drying....but OMG even aftr hour of applying it ... it still doesnt get dry....irritated i wiped it off!!!
I think (was told at the Oriflame party) that you rub it in to the cuticles and nails. Thats what I do and then withing minutes it is dry.
I used it at least 5 times a day for a week, by rubbing it into my cuticles. It has made miracles for my nails - they are shiny and look healthy, plus they are less brittle.
Maybe you should try doing this... ^_^
@esha you can use oriflame growth booster, it really works... i mean, it definately takes some time to absorb but it is very usefull... if you aply it as it says, 2 times a day for the first week and then 1 time a day, it will help you nails grow, belive me, i used it and untill then my nails were growing less than a milimeter per 2-3 months...
ummmm....plzzx dear users suggest should i buy it..! coz i'd rather hv mny things to buy.....
@Apeksha: Yes u can buy it but it can be easily substituted with any other bodyoil.
Thank goodness I read the review before buying it! Will be skipping this one for sure! Thank you for saving my hard-earned bucks!!
Hi all,
Thanks for your comments they helped a lot, sorry for not replying for the longest time.
this product can be given a miss, cos u can replace this with any other kind of nourishing oil, if u regularly apply oil/cream will give same results, or u can buy this because of the novelty of the product and it has a nice smell :) hope this addresses some of the confusion
