Alessandro ManiQURE Hand and Nail Mousse

Alessandro je proletos ponudio celu novu liniju proizvoda za profesionalnu negu ruku i noktiju za potrebe mlade, odrasle i zrele kože. Pod imenom ManiQURE krije se kupka za ruke i nokte, piling, krema i pena za ruke, ulje za nokte i zanoktice, učvršćivač noktiju i sredstvo za otklanjanje zanoktica. Kod nas je ova linija predstavljena proletos na sajmu kozmetike, a mus za ruke od tada ne napušta moju torbu. Sada mi je tuba na izdisaju pa sam spremna da podelim utiske sa vama.

This spring Alessandro developed a new line for professional hand and nail care that covers needs of young, adult and mature skin. You can find manicure bath, exfoliant, hand cream, hand mousse, nail and cuticle oil, nail strengthener and cuticle remover, all under line name ManiQURE. I've been trying out Alessandro ManiQURE Hand and Nail Mousse since I got it at cosmetics expo (it hasn't left my bag since then), and since it is now nearly used up, it is time to share my thoughts about this product.

Alessandro All About Love Nail Creams

Prošle godine sam sa jesenjeg Sajma donela jednu Alessandro kremicu za nokte, a proletos dve. Mislim da je iz toga već jasno koliko mi se sviđaju ova mala pakovanja zgodna za tašnu i jedina mana koju ima nalazim je što ne postoji neka u stalnoj ponudi već su sve limitirane kolekcije. All About Love se sastojala od dve kreme za ruke i dve kreme za nokte. Kreme za nokte su spakovane u limene kutijice od 15 ml i koštaju 550 dinara. Možete ih kupiti direktno od uvoznika preko zvanične Facebook stranice. Nažalost, sada nas na sajmu ne očekuje nova kolekcija sličnih proizvoda, ali zato će biti predstavljeni drugi noviteti, među kojima i olovka za negu noktiju i zanoktica.

Last year I brought an Alessandro nail cream from beauty expo, and this spring I got two. I believe it speaks enough to how much I like these small packages that are convenient for purse. The only fault I can find is that they are always limited editions. All About Love collection consisted of two hand creams and two nail creams. Creams come in practical tin pots that hold 15 ml of product and retail for about €5. New collection with similar products can be expected at the start of next year.

All Nut Mast Šljiva Kleka

Zimus sam bila u potrazi za dobrom negujućom kremom za ruke i zanoktice i, kako me je put naneo u All Nut radnju u Čumićevom sokačetu, prepustila sam se preporuci ljubaznog prodavca i kući sam se vratila sa kutijicom Masti šljiva kleka. Od zimus je testiram, koristim i sada sam napokon spremna da podelim sa vama utiske. Pakovanje je od 40 ml i košta 900 dinara. All Nut proizvodi se prave ručno, u malim serijama i od prirodnih sastojaka. Osim kozmetičkih preparata kod njih možete kupiti i hladno ceđena jestiva ulja lešnika, koštice šljive i koštice kajsije.

All Nut is a small Serbian manufacture of natural cold-pressed oils and cold-pressed oil-based cosmetics. Last winter, as I was looking for a good hand and cuticle cream, I ended up in their store in the heart of Belgrade and I came home with a tin of their Plum & Juniper Balm.

Aura Beyond Everything

U predstavljanju Aurinog novog laka New In Town sam spomenula da se osim njega među novitetima nalaze još dva laka. Nisam planirala da ih uzmem jer mi nisu preterano zanimljivi, no pre neki dan mi je cela kolekcija neočekivano stigla na vrata, a vi ste pokazale interesovanje za sivca. Sada se cela kolekcija može naći i u Lilly i u DM drogerijama. Cena lakova je 309 dinara za 11 ml.

When I blogged about Aura's new polish New In Town I mentioned that there are two more new polishes available. I did not plan to get them because I don't find them that interesting, but the entire collection had unexpectedly arrived at my door several days ago and you have shown some interest in the grey one, so here it is.

Favoriti i promašaji 2015. godine

I ove godine su srpske blogerke glasale za svoje omiljene kozmetičke proizvode (možete ih videti ovde), ali kako su nokti tu svedeni na svega jednu kategoriju (omiljeni brend laka za nokte), ja ću ponovo napraviti svoju listu noktoproizvoda koji su mi se 2105. godine pokazali kao dobri, a koji kao nešto što treba preskočiti.

This was the second year that Serbian bloggers have voted for their favourite cosmetic products (you can see them here), but since nails are reduced to a single category (favourite nail polish brand), I shall make a list of my nail favourites and fails from 2015.

Alessandro Hands!Up kreme Jasmine, Pashmina i Hemp Seed

Preletos sam na sajmu kozmetike na Dijaninu preporuku zagledala, isprobavala i njuškala Alessandro kreme za ruke. Sećam se da sam se dvoumila između Amazonia i Jasmine mirisa iz Flower Bar linije i na kraju uzela Jasmin. Nedavno su mi stigle još dve Alessandro Hands!Up kreme - jedna iz Flower Bar, jedna iz Herbal Bar linije i pošto sam ih ovih dana rado testirala sada bih volela da sa vama podelim neka zapažanja o njima. Ove kreme možete nabaviti direktno od uvoznika preko zvanične online prodavnice. Pakovanja su od 75 ml i koštaju 910 dinara, a na sajmu koštaju 700 dinara.

This spring at the cosmetics expo I took Dijana's recommendation to look, smell and try Alessandro hand creams. I remember being torn between Amazonia and Jasmine scents of creams from Flower Bar line and in the end I got Jasmin. Recently I have gotten two more Alessandro Hands!Up creams - one from Flower Bar and another from Herbal Bar lines and since I've been using them these days I'd like to share my thoughts about them with you. All of these creams come in 75 ml tubes and retail for around 9 €.

Alessandro Veggie Tomato & Strawberry Nail Cream

U izveštaju sa sajma ste mogli da pročitate da se sada kod nas mogu nabaviti i Alessandro Veggie kremice za nokte. Ova ograničena kolekcija krema za negu noktiju i zanoktica postoji u tri verzije - paradajz & jagoda, pomorandža & šargarepa i krastavac & dinja. Kremice su spakovane u zgodne limene kutijice od 15 ml i koštaju 550 dinara. Možete ih kupiti direktno od uvoznika preko zvanične internet prodavnice.

You may have noticed in my report from the latest cosmetics expo that Alessandro Veggie nail creams are available in Serbia. This limited edition consists of three versions of nail and cuticle creams - tomato & strawberry, orange & carrot and cucumber & melon. Creams come in practical tin pots that hold 15 ml of product and retail for about €5.

Balea univerzalne kreme

Već neko vreme su u DMu dostupne Balea kreme u limenkama sa retro motivima. Ja sam slaba na limenke pa sam kupila sve ove kreme koje su se do sada pojavile, iako sam znala da mi sasvim sigurno neće odgovarati. Kod nas su se do sada pojavile "My Golden Twenties" "50's Forever" i "Sail Away", a "Blüten-Duft" se još nije pojavila kod nas. Izgleda da su sve ograničene kolekcije i prve dve se više i ne mogu naći, a Sail Away je trenutno aktuelna. Pakovanje je od 30 ml i košta 119 dinara.

Balea universal creams in retro tins have been available in DM drugstores for a while now. I have a fondness for tins so I bought all of these creams that have so far been put on market, despite knowing they certainly won't suit me. "My Golden Twenties" "50's Forever" and "Sail Away" have so far been available in Serbia, and "Blüten-Duft" (available in Austrian DMs) still hasn't hit our stores. It seems that all of these are limited editions and once a new version gets on the shelves the older ones get withdrawn. These creams come in 30 ml tins and retail for about 1 €.

Cuccio Dubai Me An Island

Videli ste u izveštaju sa 25. dodira Pariza da su mesto u mojoj kolekciji našla i četiri Cuccio laka za nokte. Ranije sam slušala pohvale na račun Cuccio sredstava za negu, a jesenas sam se upoznala i sa njihovom ponudom lakova za nokte, delom na 24. sajmu kozmetike, a delom kroz emisiju Nail'd It. Cuccio je američka firma koja proizvodi profesinalne proizvode za manikir i pedikir, a nama su ovi proizvodi dostupni kroz Aluna centre. Iako je sajam prošao lakovi su i dalje na popustu i koštaju 600 dinara, a redovna cena im je u rangu sa Jessica lakovima. Pakovanje je od 13 ml, a lakovi su 3-free i, prema tvrdnji sa zvaničnog sajta, nisu testirani na životinjama.

You could see in my report from 25. Touch of Paris that four Cuccio nail polishes have found a place in my collection. I've been hearing praises about Cuccio hand and feet care products, and last fall I had a chance to get to know their nail polish range, partly through 24. beauty expo and partly through Nail'd It. Cuccio is an American brand that makes professional manicure and pedicure products. Cuccio Colour nail polishes come 13 ml bottles, they are 3-free and according to official website they are not tested on animals.

Flormar Supershine 41

Proletos i letos sam kolekciju osvežila lakovima koje sam dobila u razmeni za svoje neželjene lakove. Tako se i Flormar Supershine 41 našao u mom vlasništvu. Supershine linija Flormar lakova sada ima novo, niže, pakovanje, a neki su dobili i imena umesto samo broja. Ove lakove možete nabaviti u DMu po ceni od 140 dinara.

I have revamped my collection last spring and summer by swapping some of my unwanted polishes. That is how Flormar Supershine 41 came into my collection. Supershine line of Flormar polishes now has a different, shorter packaging and some of them have even gotten names. Not this one, though.

Favoriti i promašaji godine

Kraj je godine i tada se obično u blogosferi sabiraju utisci i objavljuju razne liste favorita. I srpske kozmetičke blogerke su napravile svoju listu omiljenih proizvoda (možete je videti ovde), ali pošto na toj listi nije bilo mnogo mesta za proizvode o kojima ja pišem želela sam da sa vama podelim svoje ovogodišnje noktofavorite i promašaje.

It is the end of the year and at this time bloggers usually sum up their impressions and write their faves lists. Serbian beauty bloggers have too made their list of favourite cosmetics products (you can see it here), but since there was not enough room there for stuff I write about I wanted to share my nail faves and fails.

OPI Avoplex nega ruku i noktiju

Kako kreće hladnije i vetrovito vreme, našoj koži i noktima (i kosi) potrebna je dodatna nega i zaštita. U suprotnom rizikujemo da nam koža ogrubi, počne da se peruta ili čak da ispuca, da se zanoktice zakidaju i da nokti postanu krti. Zato valja pojačati negu hranljivim kremama i uljima. Poslednjih par nedelja sam imala zadovoljstvo da isprobavam dva Avoplex ulja za zanoktice i kremu za intenzivnu negu ruku i noktiju. Avoplex je OPI linija proizvoda za negu ruku i zanoktica. Sastoji se od ulja za zanoktice, sredstva za nežno uklanjanje zanoktica (jednog od retkih kod nas dostupnih koje za aktivan sastojak ima AHA, a ne KOH), sredstva za pranje ruku, losiona za ruke i kreme za intenzivnu negu. Zajednički sastojci ovih proizvoda su avokadovo ulje, fosfolipidi i vitamini A, B1, B2, D i E (u vidu tokoferola i tokotrienola). Tri proizvoda koja vam predstavljam možete naći u svakoj Prima apoteci, a za vikend ćete moći da ih kupite i na OPI štandu (štand 54) na 24. sajmu kozmetike Dodir Pariza.

As the weather gets colder and windy, our skin and nails (and hair) need additional care and protection. Otherwise we risk getting rough or cracked skin, splits in eponychium, hangnails and brittle nails. That is why we should increase nourishment with creams and oils. I have had the pleasure of trying two Avoplex cuticle and nail oils and intensive hand and nail care cream. Avoplex is OPI's line of hand and cuticle care products line. It consists of cuticle oils, gentle cuticle remover (one of very few cuticle removers on Serbian market that has AHAs instead of KOH), hand sanitiser, hand lotion and intensive care hand cream. All Avoplex products contain avocado oil, phospholipids and vitamins vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E (as tocopherols and tocotrienols).

Sređivanje noktiju u kućnoj radinosti

Posebnost svakog čoveka, svakog nokta izazivali su u meni zadršku da napišem opšti "vodič" za kućno sređivanje noktiju, ali bila sam lepo zamoljena da to ipak učinim da nisam mogla da odbijem. Plašim se da se kod nas nega noktiju suviše generalizuje i da se većina ljudi ne trudi da ustanovi kakve nokte imaju, posebno ako imaju i neke zdravstvene probleme. Isto se odnosi na generalno održavanje noktiju. Verujem da će većina vas moći među mojim predlzima da nađe metod sređivanja noktiju koji im odgovara. Imajte na umu da je ovde reč o sređivanju noktiju kod kuće, ne u salonu, i da se zato držim jednostavnih elemenata koje svako može sam da sprovede, ali zabavnije je ako organizujete manikir veče sa drugaricama.

Individuality of every person, every nail have kept me from doing a general "guide" through at home manicure, but I was asked nicely to do it anyway so I couldn't say no. I fear nail care is taken too lightly and people usually don't even try to find out what type of nails they have, especially if they also have some medical conditions. The same goes for regular nail care. I believe most of you will be able to find nail care routine that will fit you among my suggestions. Keep in mind that what I'm writing about is at home manicure, not salon nail care, and that is why I'm trying to keep it simple so that anyone can do this themselves, but it is more fun if you organise a pampering evening with friends.

Kreme za ruke

Najavila sam u mesečnom pregledu da ću uraditi grupni članak o kremama za ruke. Predstaviću ukratko pet krema koje sam koristila ove godine. Sa izuzetkom jedne (p2), sve su dostupne kod nas, a sa izuzetkom druge (Essence) sve su stalno dostupne. Ovo su sve glicerinske kreme, što meni generalno ne odgovara pa imajte to u vidu kada čitate moje utiske. Svih pet krema je spakovano u tube od po 100 ml.

I have mentioned in my monthly review that I'll be doing a post about hand creams. I will present five creams I have been using this year. With one exception (p2) all of these are available in Serbia and with other exception (Essence) they are all core products. All of them are glycerine-based, which doesn't suit me well, so please bear that in mind when you read my impressions. All these creams come in 100 ml tubes.

OPI Avojuice Skin Quenchers Cran & Berry i Hibiscus Blossom

OPI Avojuice Skin Quenchers su losioni za ruke i telo lagane teksture i atraktivnih mirisa. U ponudi ima devet mirisa i svaki se može nabaviti u dva pakovanja - malom od 30 ml, savršenom za torbicu, i velikom od 200 ml, za kućnu upotrebu. Malo pakovanje košta oko 290 dinara, a veliko oko 1200 dinara.

OPI Avojuice Skin Quenchers are lightweight hand and body lotions with attractive scents. There are nine scents and every lotion comes in two sizes - purse-size 30 ml bottle and larger 200 ml bottle for at home use. Small size retails for about 2.5 € and large one is about 9 €.

Body Resort Oriental Pear krema za ruke

Još jedan novitet u Lilly drogerijama su Body Resort sredstva za negu kože holandske kompanije Mades Cosmetics. Body Resort proizvodi postoje u pet linija, a svaka sadrži balzam za usne, sapun, kremu za ruke, šampon, gel za tuširanje, kupku, piling za telo, losion za telo i osvežavajući sprej. Kod nas nisu uvezeni samo sapuni, kupke i šamponi. Proizvodi Oriental Pear linije mirišu na krušku i sadrže ektrakt ove voćke, uz druge negujuće sastojke. Krema za ruke ima 100 ml i košta 239 dinara. O nekim drugim Body Resort proizvodima možete saznati više kod Jelene.

Another new brand in Lilly drugstores is Body Resort - skin care collection from Dutch company Mades Cosmetics. Body Resort products come in five lines and each line consists of lip balm, soap tablet, hand cream, shampoo, bath pearls, bath & shower gel, body scrub, body lotion and refreshing body mist. Oriental Pear line smells of pear and have pear extract among other skin conditioning ingredients. Hand cream comes in 100 ml tube and retails for about 2 €.

Razna sredstva za negu

S vremena na vreme se među svim sredstvima za negu ruku, noktiju i zanoktica koja imam nađu proizvodi koji su takvi da o njima ne mogu da napišem čestit članak. Nisu to loši proizvodi već neupečatljivi. Sada mi se već skupila gomilica takvih stvari i mislim da ih mogu sve ubaciti u jedan članak, a vi procenite da li bi vama odgovarali.

From time to time among all the hand, nail and cuticle care products I will find some that I don't have much to write about. Those aren't bad product, they are just unremarkable. Now I have collected several such products and I think they could be put in one post and you decide for yourself if some of them would suit you.

Hemel krema za nokte

Hemel kozmetika je u poslednje vreme na blogovima privukla dosta pažnje, ali svuda su predstavljani isti proizvodi. O Hemel kremi za nokte nije pisano u tolikoj meri i meni je zadovoljstvo da vam je predstavim jer je u pitanju proizvod koji sam koristila pre desetak godina i tada mi je znatno pomogao, a i sada mi se pokazao odličnim. Pakovanje je od 30 ml, a puna maloprodajna cena je 569 dinara. Ja sam je kupila u Hemel prodavnici na Zelenom vencu. Ne znam imaju li radnje na drugim mestima, ali svi proizvodi se mogu naručiti i preko njihove internet prodavnice.

Hemel cosmetics is a Serbian brand well known for their natural skin care products. They use honey and beeswax, different plant extracts and oils in their products and there are no preservatives, emulsifiers, additives, bleach, artificial colours and fragrances. Hemel cream for nails is a product I have used over ten years ago and have only recently repurchased. I have loved it then and I find it to be great still. It comes in 30 ml containers and retails for €6.99. Hemel is sold in 80 countries and you can order their products online through their internet store.

Depend nega

Još u decembru sam iskoristila akciju u Liliju da kupim tri Depend proizvoda za negu, a platim samo dva, no moji odabrani proizvodi nikako da stignu na red za isprobavanje, trošenje, predstavljanje. Sada je konačno došlo vreme za njih. Odabrala sam serum za nokte, ulje za nokte i kremu za zanoktice. Uzela sam ih bez ikakvog predznanja o njima jer recenzije za njih nigde nisam uspela da nađem pa se nadam da će vama moje iskustvo pomoći ako planirate da uzmete neki od ovih proizvoda. Sve ove proizvode sam koristila barem jednom dnevno tokom nekoliko nedelja na zdravim, čvrstim, hidriranim noktima i isušenim zanokticama.

Three Depend products for nail and cuticle care have been sitting in my "to try" box since last December and I had no time or opportunity to try, test and review them until now. My chosen products are Strengthening Nail Serum, Cuticle Cream and Myrrh Oil. I had no previous knowledge about these products and I couldn't find reviews so I hope my experience will help you if you plan to buy some of these. I have used these products at least once per day for several weeks on my healthy, strong, hydrated nails and dry cuticles.

Trind Hand Repair

Danas predstavljam kremu koju sam dugo želela da probam. Trind Hand Repair je deo Trind Perfect sistema za negu ruku i noktiju, ali se može kupiti i nezavisno od sistema. Od tri kreme za ruke koje Trind ima u svojoj ponudi (Hand Repair, Hand Cream i Spotlight) ovo je za sada jedina koja se može nabaviti kod nas. Spakovana je u tubu od 75 ml, a preporučena maloprodajna cena je 850 dinara. Spisak svih mesta na kojima možete nabaviti Trind proizvode možete naći na mojoj strani Gde kupiti i na zvaničnoj Facebook strani Trind Srbija.

Today I have for you hand cream I wanted to try for quite a long time. Trind Hand Repair is part of Trind Perfect System for hand and nail care, but is also sold individually. Put of three hand creams Trind offers (Hand Repair, Hand Cream i Spotlight) this is for now the only one available in Serbia. It comes in 75 ml tube and it retails for about 8 €.
