Hey lovelies!
Today it's all about my favourite nail top coat, it's Essence Studio Nails Better Than Gel Nails Top Sealer. wow, that's a long name! This is because it was released as part of the Studio Nails Better Than Gel Nails line. The line included many other products like base coat, nail tips, nail glue etc. but this baby became the talk of the nail blogosphere so fast!
Why? Because it does everything you want your top coat to do. It's fast drying, as fast as Seche Vite. It's shiny, as shiny as Seche Vite. It makes your nails strong. This is a little difficult to explain but have you ever experienced sheet lines? Like you paint your nails and go to sleep after your nails are dry. The next morning you wake up and your nails are full of tiny textured lines. This will never happen to you with this top coat. After you nails are completely dry you can step on them without ruining your mani. I personally prefer this to Seche Vite for two reasons. One is the price, Seche Vite is more expensive and we, EU people, have to also pay shipping because it's a US product. Second is the fact that Seche Vite seems to peel off after I take a bath or wash dishes and things like that. Does it happen to you too or my Seche Vite just hates water? And like most thick top coats (Konad top coat, Seche Vite) this one won't smudge your nail stamping. If you apply beads or 3D nail stickers it will smooth them a little and secure them for as long as you want to keep them. I have never had a problem with this top coat. If it gets too thick I'll just use my regular nail thinner and it's good as new!
Now the problem is that I cannot find this baby in my country anymore! I asked a shop assistant and she told me that they won't bring the Studio Nails line anymore. I don't care about the other Studio Nails products (ok, I like the nail stickers but I can live without them) but what about my baby? I was hoping Essence would make it part of the permanent collection but I don't think it is yet.
So, tell me, have you tried it? Do you like it? Is it still available in your country?
It's permanent in Germany etc.
ReplyDeleteI've just got this in my latest trip in Switzerland because I've heard such amazing thing about it :-)
Καλημέρα!
ReplyDeleteΠως άλλαξε καλέ έτσι το μπλογκ;Στην αρχή νόμιζα αλλού έγραφα.
Τάξε μου τάξε μου!!!! Ο Έλληνας εισαγωγέας έχει ένα e-shop (για το οποίο έχω γράψει πολλές φορές καλέ στο μπλογκ, πως και δεν το είδες;). Έχει περασμένα και όλα τα Essence, δυστυχώς όμως πολύ άσχημα , είναι σκόρπια εδώ και εκεί και θέλουν ψάξιμο.
Η σελίδα είναι η http://www.dustandcream.gr και το κορυφαίο τοπ το έχουν εδώ http://www.dustandcream.gr/product.php?id_product=69069 και το πουλάνε 3,29 ευρώ.
Φιλάκιααααα
It is mine favorite top coat. I usually use it with Essence fast drying drops.
ReplyDeleteAnd In mine country is still available. It used to be in all drugstores now it is only in few.
If you can't find it anywhere write me. We might arrange swap or something.
By us it's still available in permanent line. If you want, I can get it for you in a swap, just write me an email. I use it too, cuz it drys manicure very quick, the only thing that botheres me is, that it shrinks my polish.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for your replies! <3<3 I'll contact you! :D
ReplyDeleteΣυμφωνω!!! Είναι από τα καλυτερα. Θα τσεκάρω κι εγώ το site που έδωσε η Ελένη. :)
ReplyDeletei love it, it's the best tc ever, it's better than seche vite because i can buy it in a local drugstore ;-D
ReplyDeleteif you can find it there, just email me, it wont be a problem to buy it for you :-D
Ναι, είναι καταπληκτικό! Μ`αρέσει πάρα πολύ. Και εδώ, στην Τσεχία, ευτυχώς ακόμα τον μηορώ να αγοράσω.
ReplyDelete@nail crazy: thank you very much doll! <3<3
ReplyDelete@Therezka: είναι τέλειο και κάθε φορά που το έβλεπα σε μαγαζί την επόμενη μέρα είχαν εξαφανιστεί όλα τα μπουκάλια, δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω γιατί μας το σταμάτησαν! Πολλά φιλιά!!
Πωωωω τι σπάσιμο να βγαίνουν από την κυκλοφορία πάντα τα πιο αγαπημένα! Καταλαβαίνω τον πόνο σου Natalie, σε νιώθω!!!

I have tried it and I love it! Studio line is still available in my country, hopefully you will get it again soon.
ReplyDeleteΘα συμφωνήσω απόλυτα με όλα όσα λες για το εν λόγω top coat. Το χρησιμοποιώ συνεχώς το τελευταίο δίμηνο και είναι εκπληκτικό!! Όλα τα βερνίκια μου ξεφλούδιζαν από την 1η μέρα, τώρα μπορεί να αντέξουν και 4ήμερο (για τα δικά μου νύχια που είναι τόσο λεπτά και ταλαιπωρημένα είναι άθλος αυτό) και όντως τα σκληραίνει και στεγνώνει αμέσως. love!!

Using this in South Africa too... but I think I've bought the last bottle available in my city. Considering our exchange rates in addition to the shipping charges, it's breaking my heart to think about running out. (Oh - also a big fan of the Essence Ultra Strong nail hardener as a base coat)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: oh no! I'm lucky, this baby is now available in my country so maybe it will be in yours soon, girls love Essence so they need to expand in more countries!!
