Alessandro Striplac Care & Gloss Finish Pen

Ove jeseni je Alessandro umesto mazalica za nokte u preslatkim kutijicama (poput ove i ovih) ponudio nešto prefinjeniju, a podjednako praktičnu negu za nokte i zanoktice. Osim činjenice da je u pitanju nova mazalica i da je pakovanje veoma elegantno, podatak da je ovo proizvod ograničene edicije je meni bio prelomni razlog da je uopšte kupim. Olovka je poskupa, na sajmu je koštala 800 dinara za 2,8 ml, ali sam pogled na nju mi je dovoljan da ne zažalim zbog tog izdatka.

This autumn, instead of nail care products in cute tins (like this one and these), Alessandro placed a more refined and just as practical nail and cuticle care product. Besides the fact that this a new nail care item and slick packaging, the selling point for me was the information that this is a limited edition product. The pen is on the pricey side, retailing for about €7 for 2.8 ml of product, but a glance at it makes it worth wile.

Alessandro Striplac Care & Gloss Finish Pen je ulje za negu zanoktica i noktiju. Spakovano je u elegantnu metalnu olovku sa četkicom na vrhu, a istiskuje se pritiskom na dugme sa suprotne strane. Predstavljeno je kao tretman tokom pauze u upotrebi Striplac-a, ili za doterivanje tokom nošenja Striplac-a. U sastavu su pretežno prirodna ulja (jojobino, bademovo i ulje koštice breskve su u vrhu sastojaka), ali ima i drugih ovlaživača (pantenol, lecitin), kao i oksidanasa (tokoferol, niacin). Ulje je prilično tečno i lako se upija, a ne ostavlja masan trag. Na papiru, ovo bi trebalo da bude savršeno srestvo za negu. U stvarnosti nije baš tako. Očekivala bih da mi nakon skoro dvomesečne upotrebe nekoliko puta dnevno eponihijum bude zategnut i hidriran, ali nije u išta boljem stanju nego što bi bio i da ne koristim ovo ulje. Jedino gde sam zaista primetila da deluje su tvrde bočne zanoktice - manje mi se stvaraju otkad ga koristim. Verujem da je ovakvo pakovanje, koje olakšava ciljano nanošenje proizvoda, savršeno upravo za borbu protiv tih zanoktica i za tu svrhu ga drage volje preporučujem.

Alessandro Striplac Care & Gloss Finish Pen is nail and cuticle care oil. It comes in an elegant metal pen with brush on one end, with simple pressing of the button on the other end as oil delivery method. It is presented as treatment during breaks from Striplac, or as a touch-up with Striplac on. It contains mostly natural oils (jojoba, almond and peach kernel oils are at the top of ingredients list), but it also has other moisturisers (panthenol, lecithin), as well as antioxidants (tocopherol, niacin). The oils is rather runny and easily absorbed, without leaving greasy marks. On paper, this should be a perfect nail care product. However, it is not so. After nearly two months of several times per day use, I'd expect my eponychium to be taut and hydrated, but is in no better state than it would be in if I weren't using this oil. I have noticed that I've been getting fewer hangnails since I started using it. I believe that nail care pens are the perfect choice in fight against hangnails, and in that light I recommend this product gladly.
