Essence Glow & Care Go For Glow & Berry Caring

Nova linija Essence lakova, od proletos dostupna i u Srbiji, nosi naziv Glow & Care. Sadrži sedam relativno neutralnih, nosivih lakova, a kod nas su dostupna četiri. Na sajtu se ne vode kao lakovi za nokte već kao nega noktiju, što je zanimljivo. Nalepnica na poklopcu nas obaveštava da ovi lakovi sadrže kukui ulje, ali ne i šta ono radi (niti šta uopšte traži u laku), no ja sam tu da priskočim u pomoć. Lakovi imaju 10 ml i koštaju 309 dinara. Mogu se naćii u Lilly i u DM prodavnicama.

Essence Glow & Care line of polishes contains seven relatively neutral, wearable polishes, with four of them available in Serbia. On website they are not placed under nail polishes, but under nail care, which I find interesting. Bottle cap informas us that they contain kukui oil, but not what that oil does, or what it is doing in nail polish in the first place, but I am here to help you with that. Polishes come in 10 ml bottles.

Essence Glow & Care linija sadrži kukui ulje, ulje koje se dobija iz oraha drveta Aleurites moluccanus. Ulje se na Havajima koristi kao ulje za masažu, sredstvo za hidriranje i tretman protiv opekotina, ekcema i psorijaze. Deluje kao emolijens, ali sve i da je u pitanju pravi humektant, nema razloga da se nalazi u laku, koji neće biti umasiran u nokat i koji će verovatno biti nanesen preko baznog laka koji će sprečiti prodiranje bilo kakve negujuće supstance (na sajtu ne piše da se ovaj lak nanosi direktno na nokat). Imalo bi mnogo više smisla da je ubačeno u neku od mešavina ulja za negu koje Essence ima u svom asortimanu.

Essence Glow & Care line contains kukui oil, oil that comes from Aleurites moluccanus nut. In Hawaii this oil is used for massage, moisturiser, and burn, eczema and psoriasis treatment. It is an emollient, but even if it were a true humectant there is no reason for it to be in a polish, that will not be massaged into nail and which will probably be applied over a base coat that'll prevent any substance from penetrating nail (website doesn't say that these polishes should be applied to bare nails). It would have more sense if it were added to one of several cuticle oils Essence has in their range.

Berry Caring je purpurni lak ispunjen ružičastim šimerom. Konzistencija mu je solidna, mada mu ne bi škodila koja kap razređivača. Odlično je pigmentovan i mogla sam da prođem samo sa jednim slojem laka za punu boju i pokrivanje, ali sam iz navike i zarad bolje trajnosti nanela dva sloja. Brzina sušenja je prosečna za drogerijski lak.

Go For Glow je bled ružičasto-nude lak ispunjen sitnim šimerom koji mu daje biserni izgled. Guste je konzistencije pa su mi se napravili mehurići, a ponegde su mi ostali i tragovi četkice. Puna boja se dobija iz jednog sloja, potpuno pokrivanje iz dva. Brzina sušenja je prosečna za drogerijski lak.

Berry Caring is berry purple polish with pink shimmer. It has nice formula, although a drop or two of thinner wouldn't go amiss. It is well pigmented and could pass as a one-coater, but I applied two for full colour and even coverage out of habit. Drying time is average for a drugstore polish.

Go For Glow is pale pinky-nude polish, with fine shimmer that gives it pearly sheen. It is on the thicker side so I got bubbles, and you can even see some brushstrokes. It gives full colour in one coat, but takes two for even(ish) coverage. Drying time is average for a drugstore polish.
