IsaDora Peel Off Base

I got IsaDora Peel Off Base for review a while ago and I've been trying it out thoroughly with several manicures and different polishes. I've used Essence's Peel Off Base Coat before this IsaDora one, but somehow I just couldn't make that one work for me, so I was little bit doubtful on how this might work. I've also tried to make my own peel off base coat by mixing glue and water, but that didn't turn out too great either (and now I can't even open the bottle anymore as it's glued...). So I really wanted to see how this IsaDora one would work as it would be really helpful especially with glitter polishes.

It comes in the same kind of bottle as all IsaDora polishes do and so there's 6ml (0.2 Fl.oz) in the bottle. Quite little if you ask me! But I do love that IsaDora Wide Brush, it makes the applying really easy. This has that water based formula and it smells like glue, not too bad, but you can still smell it. It's also quite thick, thicker than some regular base coats.

Here I have just applied the base, one coat for each nail except my index finger where I have two coats. It says in the instructions in the bottle that you should use one coat, but I also saw some other instructions where it said that you should use two coats. So here I was trying out which would work better.

You should let the base dry out completely before applying any nail polish, I'd say 5 minutes would do the trick. It's really easy to see when it's dry as it becomes transparent. It took only couple of minutes for this to dry on those nails where I had only one coat of the base. My index nails took much longer with those two coats.

I was really interested in how easy it would be to remove this as that is where I have had problems before with these peel of bases. They all say you can remove the polish really easily in one sheet, but I've always ended up with just tiny bits coming off. This wasn't the case with this IsaDora one, the nail polish really comes off in one or two big pieces! And it comes off really easily too, you just take one edge and start working from there.

Like I said I tried this with several different manicures and here's what was left of those after removing them:
So all of them came off really easily and it didn't matter which type of polish you had. The more coats you had and the thicker the polish layer is, the more easily it comes off too. 

Of course this makes you worried about how the your manicure will last, right? Well, I didn't have too many issues with this either. I noticed that if you use two coats of that Peel Off Base, then your manicure might chip easily or even come fully off, but if you use only one coat, that shouldn't happen. For example, I wore that gradient manicure with those flower decals for five days and washed my hands regularly, showered, did some cleaning and so on and it stayed on really nicely.

Basically, I love this! It's really making me want to wear some glitter bomb polishes more often as I know that the removal wont be so hard. The only thing I don't like about this is the fact that it's one of those limited edition type of things, so it's going to be available only short time, at least for now. I'm really hoping IsaDora will make this a part of their permanent selection, but if see this, you should really grab it while you can!

Tänään siis testissä IsaDoran Peel Off Base, jonka sain jo vähän aikaa sitten arvioitavaksi. Tykkäsin tästä ihan hirmuisesti ja tämä todellakin toimi ainakin minulla! Tätä Peel Off Basea kannattaa lakata kynsille ainoastaan yksi kerros ja antaa tämän kerroksen kuivua ennen varsinaisten lakkojen lakkaamista kunnolla. Näin ainakin minulla lakkaukset kestivät hyvinä useita päiviä, eivätkä ne alkaneet mitenkään halkeilemaan tai irtoamaan. 

Valitettavasti tätä on liikkeellä vain rajoitettu määrä ja monist kaupoista tämä on ollut loppu jo hyvän aikaa. Esimerkiksi Joensuun Sokokselta sanottiin, että heille ei ole lisää tulossa. Maahantuojan mukaankaan tätä ei ole ainakaan näillä näkymin tulossa lisää, sillä kyseessä on kausituote, ellei se sitten joskus muutu pysyvään valikoimaan. Facebookin kynsikoristelut -ryhmässä jaettujen vinkkien perusteella eri kaupunkien Stockmanneilta tätä tuntuisi vielä löytyvän sekä mahdollisesti Carlsonilta, eli kannattaa sieltä käydä kurkkaamassa jos olet vielä tällaista vailla. Jos kumpaakaan ketjua ei löydy lähettyviltä, näyttäisi tätä löytyvän myös vielä Pretty.fistä, täältä. Itsekin tilasin toisen kappaleen juurikin Pretty.fistä varastoon, niin ainakin riittää edes vähäksi aikaa...


*Peel Off Base on saatu arvioitavaksi maahantuojalta, Pretty.fin likki on tässä vain vinkkinä, en hyödy sen käytöstä mitenkään.

SOS Cold Winter - Corine de Farme - Balsamo Hidratante [REVIEW]

PRESS SAMPLE

 Hello ladies!
Enjoying this cold cold Sunday?
This last couple weeks have been rough for our skin. Its too cold and personaly, I hate it! My skin hurts and thankfully I found the miracle hand cream for the dry and cold season. Corine de Farme Hand and Nail Balm has been my savior! Lets check it out.

Bom Domingo!
Estas últimas semanas têm sido terríveis para a minha pele, está demasiado frio e a pele acaba por se resentir se não tiver o tratamento adequado. Odeio este frio!
Felizmente, há um par de semanas descobri o melhor amigo das minhas mãos, para este frio terrível.
O Corine e Farme Balsamos Hidratante para mãos e unhas tem feito verdadeiros milagres! Vamos ver?

 Corine de Farme
Homéo-beauté végétale

This is one of my current hand creams and without a doubt my current favorite for extremely cold weather. 
This is a thick and heavy cream, however its not greasy. The formula has a lot of glycerin in its composition making it perfect for hydrating and protecting the skin in extremely cold weather. 
When the weather gets too cold, my hands and cuticles tend to get to dry and I need to apply hand cream constantely. I notices that, with Corine de Farme Hand and Nail Balm, the hydrating effect lasts for several hours and the hands and cuticles look amazing. I really am loving using this cream! I'm keeping it! Super aproved! 

Este creme é um creme grosso e pesado, no entanto não é gorduroso. A sua fórmula com glicerina permita hidratar e proteger a pele deixando-a macia sem ficar gordurosa. Quando o tempo arrefece muito, os meus dedos costumam criar aquelas peles pequenitas super irritantes e inestéticas. 
Tenho usado este creme desde que as temperaturas baixaram e ainda não tive nem uma ferida nem pelezita dessas nos dedos e as cutículas continuam optimas e muito saudáveis.
Vou continuar a usar! Recomendo!
