Essence 'hello foils!'

Hi there!

I was in 'play mode' whole day long . Among other things (like sponges, vacuum cleaner, cooking, baking etc) I found some time to play with my nails. These are my new toys:

Čitav dan sam provela u 'play modu'  . Između ostalog (poput spužvi, usisivača, kuhanja, pečenja i sličnog), našlo se vremena i za igru s noktima. Evo mojih novih igračkica:

I got nail foil for a review from essence team, and since it's was really long time since last time I used something like it, I decided to give it a try. This one is made for graffiti look, I got 01 'hello flashy!' version. You get two foils in a rounded plastic jar, with instructions inside. For complete look you'll also need transfer solution too. 

When your nail polish is completely dry, apply thin coat of transfer solution. After few seconds, when the transfer solution is almost, but not completely dry, you need to press it down on your nail in a quick motion. Repeat more times, until you're satisfied with the effect. On instructions says that you'll have to do your nails one by one, but I did them all at once. If you're quick, it'll do. My intention wasn't to cover the whole nails, I wanted the foils randomly placed on my nails.

Od essence tima sam dobila neke stvarčice na probu, među njima i foliju za nokte, a kako se već dugo nisam igrala s nečim sličnim, odlučila sam započeti s njom. Namijenjena je za graffiti izgled Vaših noktiju, kod mene je verzija 01 'hello flashy!'. U valjkastoj posudici dobijete dvije folije, s uputama za korištenje. Za nanašanje na nokte trebat će Vam i transferna solucija. 

Kad je lak potpuno suh, nanesete tanak sloj transferne solucije. Nakon par sekundi, kad je ova skoro, ali ne potpuno suha, pritisnete komadić folije (sjajna strana uvijek ide gore) na nokat i odstranite brzim pokretom. Ponavljajte više puta, na različitim mjestima na noktu, dok niste zadovoljne efektom. Na uputama piše da se manikura s folijom radi nokat po nokat, no ja sam ih nalakirala sve odjednom. Ukoliko ste brze i ne želite sasvim prekriti nokte, to će biti u redu. Ja ovdje nisam imala namjeru sasvim pokriti nokte, htjela sam da komadići folije budu nasumično razbacani po noktu.

First I tried it over essence 'play it cool!'...

Prvo sam ih isprobala preko essence 'play it cool!'...

then over essie 'over the edge'. More of these polishes some other time .

Well, it looks so much better over darker polish, if you ask me. It was really a problem to take a proper photo of these foils, it shines so much that my camera goes bananas. Maybe this short video will let you imagine how it looks in reality. Green polish wasn't completely dry, so I made a mess while pressing the foil down. When I was done with manicure, I used slow drying topcoat, because, in my experience, fast drying topcoats will made your foil shrink.

a onda preko essie 'over the edge'. O ovim lakovima više nekom drugom prilikom  . 

Ako mene pitate, bolje mi izgledaju preko tamnijeg laka. Bilo je užasno teško poslikati manikuru, jer folija tako sjaji i reflektira svjetlost da je sasvim izludila moj jadni fotić. Možda se na ovom kratkom videu uvjerite kako to zapravo izgleda. Zeleni lak nije bio sasvim suh (premda je izgledao), pa sam napravila nered u pokušaju ljepljenja folije. Na kraju manikuru sam zatvorila sporosušećim nadlakom, jer, po vlastitom iskustvu, brzosušeći nadlak redovito nagužva foliju.

 

I love the way this foils looks. My nails are ready to party, right . 

It's easy to work with them, you only have to pay attention that the transfer solution doesn't dry completely, otherwise you won't be able to make the imprint. In Croatian dm drugstores the transfer solution cost 15,90, and transfer foils 12,90 kn. Transfer foils are available in three versions.

Would I recommend these products? Yes, I'm pretty happy with this effect.
How about you, did you like what you just saw?

Odlično mi ovo čudo izgleda. Nokti su spremni za party .

Folijama je zbilja jednostavno rukovati, jedina stvar na koju morate pripaziti je da Vam se transferna solucija ne osuši sasvim (no ne smije biti ni mokra), inače se folija neće zalijepiti za nokte. Kod nas se u dm-u ova folija može kupiti sa 12,90, a transferna solucija za 15,90 kn. Postoje tri verzije folije.

Bih li preporučila proizvode? O da, sasvim sam zadovoljna efektom koji sam dobila.
Što je s Vama, je li Vam se svidjelo ovo što ste vidjele?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana
