The Body Shop: Mandljevo olje za nohte & obnohtno kožico in pilica za nohte

Ta dva izdelka sem dobila v setu za rojstni dan. V setu so bili štirje izdelki: milo za roke, krema za roke, olje za obnohtno kožico in nohte ter pilica za nohte. Škatla je dobre velikosti in mi v kopalnici služi za shranjevanje.

I got these two products in a set for my birthday. There were four products in the set: a hand wash, hand cream, nail & cuticle oil and a nail file. The box is a good size and I use it for storage in my bathroom.

Olje je v priročni embalaži s potisnim sistemom, čopičem za enostavni nanos in mehko potisno gumico za obnohtno kožico. Embalaža mi je všeč, saj je res enostavna za uporabo.

The oil is in a convenient package with a twist system, a brush for easy application and a soft rubbery cuticle pusher for the nail cuticle. I like the packaging, because it’s really easy to use.

Olje je rahlo gosto, ni čisto tekoče, kot olja ponavadi so. Je prozorno z rahlim rumenim odtenkom. Z lahkoto ga razmažem okoli nohta s čopičem. Olje sem pustila na obnohtni kožici dobro uro, potem pa sem ga vmasirala v noht in kožico. Vpije se hitro. Vonj je sladek, diši po marcipanu. S potisno gumico sem obnohtno kožico potisnila z nohta in moram povedati, da ni šlo tako enostavno, kot sem vajena. Čeprav se mi je zdelo, da olje ne more biti slabo, saj je pač olje in deluje, ampak izgleda, da ni tako. Olje je sicer zmehčalo kožico, ampak se mi zdi da ne tako, kot druga olja. Prav tako me je presenetilo, da mi obnohtne kožice ni nahranilo niti kaj preveč navlažilo, saj je bila drugi dan kožica precej suha. Prav tako je olja zelo malo (1,8ml) in, če kupite “svinčnik” posebej, je cena kar zasoljena (12€) za tako malo produkta. Jaz bom olje porabila, ne bi ga pa več kupila.

The oil is lightly thick, it’s not as liquid as oils usually are. It’s transparent with a hint of yellow. I easily spread it around my nail with the brush. I left the oil on my cuticle for a good hour, then I massaged it into my nail and cuticle. It absorbs quickly. The scent is sweet, it smells like marzipan. I pushed my cuticle away from the nail with the rubbery pusher and I have to say that it didn’t go as easy as I’m used to. Although I thought that the oil can’t be bad, it’s an oil and it works, but it seems that that’s not the case. The oil did soften my cuticle, but not as good as the other oils do. It also surprised me that the oil didn’t nourish nor did it moisturize my cuticle, because my cuticle was pretty dry the next day. Also there is not a lot of oil (1,8ml) and if you buy this “pencil” by itself, the price is quite steep (12€) for that little product. I will use the oil up, but will never repurchase.

S pilico prav tako nisem zadovoljna. Najprej me je zmotila oblika, saj ne maram kvadratnih pilic, imam raje ploščate, tako da brez težav pridem pod noht. S to pilico je bilo to nemogoče. Pilica ima štiri ploskve, štiri različne teksture, ki nohte skrajšajo, očistijo, zgladijo in spolirajo. Tale pilica nohtov ne bo skrajšala oziroma potrebovali boste veliko več časa in truda, da noht skrajšate. Jaz sem poskusila z enim nohtom, potem pa sem jo hitro zamenjala za mojo Essence profesionalno pilico 4 v 1, ki svoje delo opravi hitro in učinkovito. Edino, za kar je bila ta pilica dobra, je bila za glajenje in poliranje nohtov, vendar pa moja Essence pilica naredi isto. Zato je bila tale pilica veliko razočaranje. Pilico lahko tudi posebej kupite, ampak je jaz ne priporočam. Cena izdelka je 5€.

I also wasn’t too happy with the file either. First of all I don’t like the shape of it, because I don’t like square files, I like flat ones, so I can get under my nail easily. This was impossible with this file. The file has four surfaces, four different textures that shorten the nail, clean it, smooth and polish the nail. This file won’t shorten the nail or you will need much more time and effort to shorten it. I tried with one nail and then replaced it quickly with my Essence professional nail file 4 in 1, that does its job fast and effective. The only thing this file is good for is to smooth and polish the nails, but my Essence file can do the same. This was a big disappointment for me. You can buy the file on its own, but I don’t recommend it. The price is 5€.

Vseeno se veselim preizkušanju mila za roke, saj kremo že poznam in mi je tudi zelo všeč. Ocene drugih dveh izdelkov kmalu na blogu. Ste že poskusili katerega od naštetih produktov? Kaj je vaše mnenje?

Still I can’t wait to try the hand soap, because I already know the cream and I really like it. The reviews of the other two products soon on my blog. Did you try any of the listed products? What is your opinion?

Radi se imejte in veliko se smejte. 🙂
