Essence Blossom Dreams Waterbased Top Coat

Već dugo među Essence trend kolekcijama nije bilo neke koja bi mi privukla pažnju. Do proletos. U sklopu Blossom Dreams trend kolekcije, Essence je odlučio da da svoj doprinos trendu hromiranih noktiju. Proizveli su dva pigmenta za nokte (hrom i irizirajući), kao i nadlak na vodenoj bazi da zaštiti pigmente. Iako mi sami hromirani/irizirajući nokti nešto nisu zanimljivi, nadlak mi je delovao kao nešto što bih mogla da upotrebim da zaštitim folije za nokte. Ako i vi želite da probate ovaj nadlak, možete ga nabaviti u Lilly drogerijama po ceni od 309 dinara.

It has been awhile since there was an Essence trend edition that would draw my attention. Until this spring. Essence decided to jump on chrome nail bandwagon with Blossom Dreams trend collection. They have made two pigments (chrome and iridescent), as well as water-based top coat to protect those pigments. While I am not into chrome/iridescent look, I thought that top coat could be used over nail foils.

Folije za nokte su često nezahvalne za nošenje jer je lepak za njih na vodenoj bazi te su podložne brzom krzanju bez nadlaka, ali klasičan nadlak im ubija sjaj i daje zgužvan izgled, kao na domalom prstu na slici iznad. Vodeni nadlakovi i gel nadlakovi (pravi, koji se suše u lampi) ne narušavaju izgled folije te je Essence vodeni nadlak Set the Look nadlak kakav se može koristiti preko folije. Sam nadlak ne menja izgled, sjaj, holo efekat ovih folija koje imam, ali sam po sebi ne pruža dovoljnu zaštitu te je preko njega neophodno naneti i sloj klasičnog nadlaka. Poput lepka za folije, na vodenoj bazi je pa je lako rastvorljiv u vodi. Dakle za najbolji efekat i trajnost redosled je: baza - lak u boji približnoj boji folije - lepak - folija - vodeni nadlak - nadlak. Samo nemojte poput mene stavljati ovako upadljivu foliju na sve nokte jer će vam skretati pažnju sa posla.

Nail foils can be tricky to wear because nail foil glue is water-based which makes them chip fast unless you top coat them, but regular top coat dulls them and gives them crumpled look, like in the photo above on my ring finger. Water-based top coats and gel top coats (true ones, that require curing in lamp) do not interfere with nail foils, so Essence Set the Look water-based top coat is the type of top coat you could use over nail foil. Top coat itself doesn't change look, shine, holo effect of the foils I have, but it doesn't provide good protection on its own so you should use regular top coat over it. Like the glue, being water-based means that it is also soluble in water. So for the best result and durability the order is: base coat - nail polish in colour closest to the foil colour - nail glue - nail foil - water-based top coat - top coat. Just don't use this flashy nail foils on all nails, like I did, because you will not be able to focus on your work.
