NOTD: Oriflame Sundance

Oriflamereleased 5 new summery shades in The One nail polish collection; nail polishes are Deep Sea, Lush Ivy, Purple Rain, Sundance and Limelight. I personally got the chance to try a sunny yellow cream nail polish with orange undertone – Sundance. 

I haven’t tried any Oriflame polish before, but my expectations weren’t very high, but when I first tried this polish I was really impressed. The formula is amazing. Oriflame describes it as expert gel formula, which probably means that it’s similar to gel nail polishes, which are usually very shiny and last for a very long time on nails. I actually really like that brands are coming out with nail polish formula that’s similar to gel polishes, because that usually means pretty shades with cream finish, which is my favourite, and usually they are pigmented enough to be used for stamping (but I haven’t stamp with Sundance yet). Sundance has a really nice formula that’s not too thick or runny and it goes smoothly on nails. The brush is big and flat, round on top, and although is cut a big strangely, it didn’t cause me any problems by application. I used two coats of nail polish for these swatches. I didn’t want to do a regular swatch on four nails, so I variegate a manicure with an accent nail – first I used two coats of white nail polish and then I used Sundance and a thin brush to draw a sun. 

I personally have very weak nails and in the past I was lucky if my manicure lasted for two days. Since I use Essence The Gel base and top coat, my manicures last much longer. No matter which brand of nail polish do I use, Essence base and top coat get along with any of them. The same happened with Oriflame. I wore Sundance for three days in a combination with Essence The Gel base and top coat and nail polish didn’t chip, except on my middle finger on my right hand, which is my weakest nail and there’s no polish that would last long on this nail. It’s possible that girls with stronger nails would wear Sundance even longer without chipping. I removed manicure after three days, because I got bored and I wanted to wear something else. 

Oriflame The One nail polishes contain 8 ml and they cost around 8 €. I think the price is not the friendliest to the wallet, especially if you’re on budget, but Oriflame often has special offers and sales that are worth checking. Beside a bit high price I have no other complain about this nail polish.

How do you like shade Sundance? Have you tried Oriflame The One nail polishes, do you like them? Thank you for reading!

Ocena v slovenščini: 

Pri Oriflamu so za nas to poletje pripravili kolekcijo petih poletno obarvanih odtenkov lakov za nohte: temno modrega Deep Sea, zelenega Lush Ivy, vijoličnega Purple Rain in dva rumena Sundance in Limelight. Sama sem imela priložnost preizkusiti odtenek Sundance, ki je sončasto rumen odtenek z oranžnim podtonom. Čeprav v katalogu izgleda, kot da vsebuje šimer, pa gre za krem lak, kar mi je ljubše, ker je to navsezadnje moj najljubši finiš.

Če me spremljate že dlje časa, zagotovo veste, da zelo redko pišem negativne ocene o lakih, ker pri njih dejansko nimam nekih visokih kriterijev. Da si lak pri meni prisluži negativen predznak, mora biti že res katastrofalen. Če je že povprečen, mi je všeč, če pa je zelo kvaliteten, pa sem več kot navdušena. Proti pričakovanjem se lak Sundance uvršča v tretjo kategorijo. Ne vem, zakaj sem pričakovala, da lak ne bo najbolj kvaliteten, verjetno zaradi kataloške prodaje, ampak sem mu pred prvo preizkušnjo delala krivico. Lak ima odlično formulo, ki lepo spolzi na noht, ni pregosta in ne preredka, tako da ne bi smela povzročati težav nikomur. K preprostemu nanosu doprinese tudi čopič, ki je ploščat in širok, na vrhu okroglo prirezan, in gre za tip čopiča, ki naredi zelo lep lok ob obnohtni kožici ob korenu nohta. Sicer je čopič mojega laka malce čudno obrezan, ampak mi kljub temu ni povzročal težav pri nanosu. Kot vedno sem za popolno prekrivnost uporabila dva sloja. Ker sem želela manikiro malce popestriti in vam ponuditi več kot le preprost swatch, sem na prstanec nanesla dva sloja belega laka, potem pa uporabila tanek čopič in Oriflame lak ter narisala sonce. Tako se manikira popolnoma ujema z imenom samega laka. 

Pri Oriflamu so formulo laka opisali »expert gel«, torej gre za lake, ki so podobni gel lakom – za njih je značilno, da imajo visok sijaj in so dolgo obstojni. Sama sicer nimam zelo močnih nohtov, ampak zadnje čase nosim manikire tudi po več dni, kar mi omogočata Essence The Gel podlak in nadlak, ki sta se izkazala za odlično kombinacijo z vsakim lakom, ne glede na znamko. Kombinirala sem ju tudi s Sundance odtenkom in lahko potrdim, da mi je manikira zdržala 3 dni brez krušenja, okrušila se je edino na enem, najbolj ubogem nohtu na mojih rokah. Nekako ne dvomim, da bi bil ta lak pri dekletih, ki imajo močnejše nohte, kar obstojen. Po treh dneh sem manikiro odstranila, ker sem želela nositi nekaj drugega.

Oriflame The One laki vsebujejo 8 ml, cena pa je okrog 8 €, kar ni ravno najnižja cena, vendar pa imajo znamke kataloške prodaje velikokrat znižane izdelke in se jih da dobiti ceneje. V trenutnem katalogu 5 poletnih odtenkov stane 4,99 €. Razen cene drugih pripomb na lak nimam, mi je pa zelo všeč steklenička s pokrovom, ki ima na vrhu zapisano črko O za Oriflame. Čeprav moram priznati, da sama nisem velik ljubitelj kataloške prodaje, ker naročanje kozmetike prek posrednika in nekajdnevno čakanje na paket ni ravno v mojem stilu, veliko raje imam pohod po drogeriji, kjer lahko izdelke vidim in preizkusim testerje v živo.

Kako vam je všeč odtenek Sundance? Ste že preizkusile Oriflame lake? Kaj menite o njih? Hvala za pozornost!
