Aura Amazingly Resistant - utisci i poređenja

U velikom i hrabrom potezu, Aura je tri od četiri linije svojih postojećih lakova za nokte, kao i sve stare baze i nadlakove, povukla iz proizvodnje i zamenila ih novom kolekcijom. Sve ove nove proizvode sam vam ove nedelje pokazala, a danas sumiramo utiske i volela bih da čujem šta vi mislite na ovu temu. Slike pokazuju poređenja koja sam spominjala u samim člancima o lakovima.

In a big and brave move, Aura has discontinued three of four of their nail polish lines, as well as all older base and top coats and substituted them for new collection. I have shown you all these new products this week. Today we summarise impressions and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Photos are showing comparisons I have mentioned in articles on polishes.

Aura Amazingly Resistant 412 Up n' Down - Don Juan One Coat OC230

Kao što sam na početku predstavljanja nove kolekcije napisala, osnovna paleta je prilično bezbedna, klasična i više puta do sada viđena, ali za početak mislim da nije loša, posebno pošto se izdvojilo nekoliko pravih bisera za mene. Tu mislim pre svega na nijanse Lose Direction, Occupy My Mind, Never Say Never i Cherry Blossoms. Vidim da se uz njih kao vaši favoriti izdvajaju i Milkshake, All About Him, Pool Party i Sticky & Sweet. Dakle klasične boje nisu loše, jer se i među njima da naći nešto novo. U ovoj prvoj postavci svi lakovi osim dva su kremaste završnice. Ta dva su sa šimerom, ali u jednom je on toliko neupadljiv da se realno može smatrati za kremu. Nadam se da će Aura u dogledno vreme dodati nove boje i nove završnice. Više o samim lakovima moete pročitati na sledećim linkovima:

Aura Amazingly Resistant 434 Lose Direction - Essie Angora Cardi

As I've mentioned in my first post about this collection, this initial range is rather safe, classic and already seen multiple times, but I don't think it is a a bad start, especially since I've found several true gems. What I have in mind is Lose Direction, Occupy My Mind, Never Say Never and Cherry Blossoms. I also see that you've liked Milkshake, All About Him, Pool Party and Sticky & Sweet quite a bit. So classic shades aren't bad, because you can find something new even among them. In this first collection all polishes but two are cremes. The two have shimmer, but it is so fine in one of them that it can be considered a creme polish. I do hope that in due course Aura will add new colours and finishes.

Aura Amazingly Resistant 425 All About Him - Essie Recessionista

Konzistencija lakova varira u zavisnosti od boje, odnosno verovatno od konkretnih pigmenata. Nude i ružičasti su generalno najgušći, a crveni, ljubičasti i mauve tečniji. Svi imaju samoravnajuću konzistenciju i visok sjaj. Uz svega nekoliko izuzetaka, svi lakovi dobro pokrivaju iz dva sloja i suše se prosečnom brzinom. Pod time mislim da su na dodir suvi kroz desetak minuta, a potpuno suvi kroz oko sat vremena. Imam utisak da su gušći lakovi možda zamišljeni kao jednoslojci, ali bi morali da se nanose u debljem sloju, a ja sam uvek za više tanjih slojeva. Ono što sam primetila je da su svi lakovi veoma fleksibilni, što znači da neće pucati usled, recimo, česte izloženosti noktiju vodi, ali takođe znači da će brže izgubiti sjaj ukoliko nisu zaštićeni nadlakom. Postojanost zavisi dosta od samih noktiju, pripreme i od toga čemu sve izlažete ruke i nokte u toku dana, ali elastična struktura laka svakako povećava njegovu trajnost. Meni, koja dosta kucam, bela linija se javljala tek trećeg dana.

Deborah Prêt à Porter 68 Grape Masquerade - Aura Amazingly Resistant 424 Occupy My Mind - Morgan Taylor Royal Treatment

Formula of these polishes depends on colour, probably on particular pigments, that is. Nude and pink shades are generally thicker and red, purple and mauve shades are thinner. All of them are self-leveling and glossy. With only a few exceptions, these all give good coverage in two coats and dry in average time. By that I mean that it takes about ten minutes for them to be touch-dry and about an hour to get fully dry. I feel that thicker polishes may have been intended to be one-coaters, but they'd have to be applied in thicker coat and I am always for several thinner coats. What I've noticed is that they are all very flexible, which means they won't chip and crack due to, for instance, frequent contact with water, but it also means they'd get dull sooner unless they have top coat on. Durability of polish depends on your nails, prep and what you subject your hands and nails to in the course of a day, but elastic polishes certainly last longer on nails. I type a lot and I had slight tipwear on day three.

Aura Amazingly Resistant 423 Broken Paradise - Aura Nail Beauty 804 Black Sofa

Četkica je, kao što sam juče napisala, solidna, ali sam baš kod Aure viđala i bolje četkice. Lepo ona nanosi i raspoređuje lak, to stoji, nego znam da to može i bolje. Zapravo jedina zamerka koju imam na ovu četkicu je njena debljina, zbog koje ne mogu bočnim ivicama nokta lepo da priđem. To ne bi predstavljalo problem da se četkica više širi, ali u ovakvoj situaciji mi smeta kada mažem gušće lakove. Sa ređim lakovima mi debljina četkice ne smeta.

The brush is, as I've mentioned yesterday, solid, but I've seen better in other Aura polishes. This one does apply polish well, but I know Aura can do better. Actually, my only remark is on the thickness of this brush, which prevents me from getting near lateral folds. This wouldn't be a problem if it splayed a bit more, but in this case it does bother me when I am trying to apply thicker polishes. I have no issue with it when I use thinner polishes.

China Glaze Merry Berry - Aura Amazingly Resistant 421 All Eyes On You - China Glaze City Siren

Nisam probala starije Aurine baze, kao ni čuveni Jelly, pa ne mogu uporediti novu bazu i nadlakove sa njima, ali mislim da je sasvim jasno da u ponudi sada nedostaje dobar brzosušeći nadlak. Jesam koristila stari matirajući nadlak i novi se sa njim zaista ne može meriti jer nisu ni nalik. Volela bih da pored ovog novog vrate i staru verziju matirajućeg nadlaka, a vapaj korisnica koje žale za Jelly-jem se sigurno čuje do Niša pa se nadam da će im molba biti uslišena i Jelly vraćen u proizvodnju. Baza je zaista dobra i nadam se da je neće menjati, a volela bih da nadlak za produženo trajanje laka poboljšaju ili zamene brzosušećim. Detaljnije o svakom od ovih proizvoda možete pročitati u članku o bazi i nadlakovima - http://cajkinekandze.blogspot.rs/2015/09/aura-baza-i-nadlakovi.html.

Aura Professional 54 Soulmates - Aura Amazingly Resistant 420 Classy Red - Essence Do You Speak Love

Now, I haven't tried older base and top coats Aura has had so I can't compare new ones to them, but it is clear that they need to offer us a decent quick-dry top coat. I have, however, used the old matte top coat and this new one can't be compared to it because they have nothing in common. I wish they would return the old version and keep this one as well and I hope they will continue to make Jelly top coat. Instant Base is really good and I hope they won't change it and I wish they'd improve the long lasting top coat or replace it with fast drying one. You can read more about each of these products in my article about base and top coats - http://cajkinekandze.blogspot.rs/2015/09/aura-baza-i-nadlakovi.html

Zoya Diana - Aura Amazingly Resistant 417 Ready, Steady, Red! - Essie E! Live From The Red Carpet

Na svakom proizvodu se može naći pun spisak sastojaka i on varira od nijanse do nijanse, ali svi lakovi, baza i nadlakovi su 5-free. Proizvođač ne naglašava ovaj podatak, ali znam da se u poslednje vreme i kod nas sve više pažnje posvećuje tome da li lakovi sadrže "veliku zlu trojku/četvorku/petorku". (Formalin inače nikada nije bio sastojak u lakovima, samo u određenim učvršćivačima, a formalinska smola se iz ovih proizvoda izbacuje samo zbog imena. Toluen i DBP mogu biti problematični, a kamfor može biti iritans.) Kako mi je rečeno, ni gotovi proizvodi ni sastojci nisu testirani na životinjama, a tako bi valjda i moralo da bude s obzirom na EU zakone. Svi proizvodi su spakovani u valjkaste bočice zapremine 11 ml i koštaju 309 dinara.

Aura Amazingly Resistant 416 Hello Summer - OPI Aloha From OPI

Every bottle has full list of ingredients and they vary from one shade to another, but all polishes including base and top coats are 5-free. Manufacturer doesn't emphasize this info, but I know that more and more consumers are looking for polishes that don't contain "the big bad three/four/five". (Formalin was never in nail polishes, only some nail strengtheners, and formaldehyde resin has been cast out only because of its name. Toluene and DBP can be troublesome and camphor can be an irritant.) I was told that neither finished products nor their ingredients are tested on animals, and that is the way it should be considering EU laws. Each product comes in 11 ml bottle.
