During a long few days of being in and out of hotels and airports, my hands needed relief...desperately! I popped into the Aveda shop at one of the airports (OMG I love the way that shop smells) and asked if they had any suggestions. The staff member handed me the tester of this product and I was sold!
It smells fantastic (a bit like citrus?), absorbs quickly, isn't greasy or sticky, and makes my hands so soft and supple! If it wasn't so expensive, I would bathe in it! Of course, the fact that I purchased it in an airport could have inflated the cost a bit.
This product is on my permanent holiday gift wishlist, though. I love it!

I bought this product in the color "Full House", a gorgeous blue. I was very excited to try it. Application was easy, wasn't too smelly, dried quickly, and didn't need any special fancy lights (bonus!!). It looked great right after I did it, and (surprisingly) the dry was so quick and complete, I didn't even smudge it!
I have really thin, bendy nails, so I didn't have much hope for long wear. There were a couple of large chips in the morning, unfortunately, so it didn't last any longer (for me) than any other drug store polish.
The biggest problem was when I attempted to remove the product. I used a basic, run of the mill polish remover, and the polish and top coat (so shiny!) came off quite easily, but it left my nails stained a bluish purple...so now I look like I am oxygen deprived.
I wouldn't use this product again, not even on my toes (which is what I actually bought it for) for the reason of staining, even though the colour was phenomenal, and caught the attention of the cashier as being unique.
