Having tested this varnish thoroughly, I share the impressions.
The action plan (at will you can miss those points which do not interest you). So:
1. Description of packing and appearance of a bottle.
2. Shade.
3. Information on a brand.
4. Structure.
5. Brush.
6. Texture.
7. Drawing.
8. Firmness.
9. Washing off.
10. Result.
1. Description of packing.
Varnish is in a box of dark-violet color. On a front part there is a small opening through which it is possible to see a varnish shade. The gold font in a foreign language specified a brand. Further the name of varnish (Scented Nail Polish) is written that in translation means the flavored nail varnish. On side parts of a box the producer specifies: structure, method of application, country of origin. Also on packing it is possible to find the reference to the official site of the producer. Information on a product, in my opinion, quite full and necessary. On the top part of packing the tsarevna a frog is represented, it also is a brand logo. At the bottom of packing the aroma of this varnish is specified.
Appearance of a bottle.
Rather small bottle, rounded shape. It is made of transparent glass with conveniently twisting cap of black color.
I want to note that on a bottle information on a product is duplicated. Such option of registration very is pleasant to me. In most cases the producer puts aside a bottle without description. And having thrown out a box, there is no necessary information left.
2. Shade.
It was not necessary to choose as to me it. As it was already told earlier, it is a gift. Available a brand not such good selection, only 6 shades with various tastes: lavender, strawberry, raspberry, chocolate, vanilla and my aroma of a rose.
Each shade is combined with the aroma. For me the smell and a shade of my varnish 100% suit one another. The gentle-pink shade of varnish is just suitable for color of a rose.
3. Information on a brand.
Manufactured for (it is made for): Beautydrugs Italy (Italy) of 2015.
The official site of beautydrugs.net (in a foreign language). There is a website and in Russian, here beautydrugs.ru.
Made in Spain. Our bottle of varnish is manufactured in Spain.
It became interesting to me from where after all "sort" my bottle of varnish. Italy or Spain? And here what I found out, the brand has many representations in various countries: it is Italy, Germany, France, Southern Korea. Where only famous experts and experts work on products. Also came to a conclusion that varnish was developed in Italy, and was already poured in Spain. Therefore my bottle of the Spanish origin.
4. Structure.
This varnish is made on a formula: 5-free formula, indicates an inscription on packing it is blown. There is below a transfer of products which are not a part of varnish: formaldehyte, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, camphor and formaldehyde resin free. What does it designate?
In all countries there is a standard for different products. For example at us in Russia we got used to watch goods with the word GOST, and here in the European countries on varnishes there is other standard, under the name Big5Free. It designates that the goods are executed in due form the European legislation. Also has no as a part of substances hazardous to health of the person.
In our case, it:
- formaldehyde (colourless gas with a pungent smell).
- dibutylphthalate (thanks to it the surface of varnish does not crack and remains smooth).
- toluene (it is methylbenzene, colourless liquid with a characteristic smell. This substance is effective and cheap preservative of nail varnishes).
- camphor (it is dangerous to an organism at inhalation in high doses. It is resolved according to what standards).
- formaldehyde pitches (it is the known carcinogen, couples of which are very noxious to health).
There are varnishes with formula 12-free. Also water-based varnish was invented. Personally I consider that it is next marketing the course, for increase in sales.
Dealt with a formula, let's continue to sort structure further.
I really was interested in the cost of this varnish and from what it developed. For this reason I thoroughly decided to sort all points of origin of varnish.
Varnish consists not of such small amount of ingredients. 33 various products enter it. Let's sort what it consists of. All 33 "companions", I will not list, but I will paint that it will not be clear to me I in detail.
Butyl acetate (butylacetate) - organic solvent, in principle the necessary thing as a part of varnish. Ethyl acetate (ethyl acetate) - ethyl air of acetic acid, the same colourless liquid with a pungent smell. One harmful component was removed from structure, another was added. Whether there is in it a sense, unclear! Nitrocellulose (Nitrocellulose) - cellulose nitrate, nitrocellulose. Here I see nothing terrible, ingredient has a fibrous surface and serves for formation of a hard coating on nails. Acetyl tributyl citrate (atsetiltributiltsitrat) - colourless, odourless, oily liquid. Thanking its varnish evenly, it is strongly and exactly distributed on a nail. Probably in this varnish, this ingredient was added a little. Because to tell that varnish obedient I cannot! Acetic acid/neopentyl glycol/trimellitic annydride copolymer (adipic acid / neopentilglikol/trimellitovy anhydride copolymer) - found out only that it is a difficult formula. Goes as a basis under varnish. Isopropyl alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) - is used as drying. Acrylates copolymer (akrilat copolymer) - I understand that this ingredient is used for gloss, that is gives to varnish a glossy covering. Yes, you will not argue here. At varnish the luster fine, it you will not take away. And economy of a top covering is available. It is personally checked! Citronellol (citronellol) - that's it that ingredient which gives that, intolerable aroma of a rose. I will repeat, intolerable, in a different way I cannot tell.
Having sorted the majority of ingredients, came to such conclusion. In the most part of structure: chemical, synthetic elements and various alcohol. Nothing useful to nails me was revealed not.
5. Brush.
Brush on a cut equal, wide. It is convenient to do painting by such brush. Pile soft, smooth, is ideally cut. Cap big, round. It is made under opaque material. It is easy to turn off and hold it in hand.
6. Texture.
Varnish quite liquid, not strongly pigmented. Therefore demands drawing two, and even three layers. It is better to put with a thin layer because time of drying of several layers long.
7. Drawing.
Drawing is not problem as a brush at varnish convenient. But here the fact that varnish lays down with bald spots even in two, three layers. It is directly a trouble!
8. Firmness.
Firmness at varnish deplorable. On my nogtika it rushed only two, three days. For me it is not enough when other varnishes on my nogtika rush up to 7 days. We draw conclusions!
9. Washing off.
Washing off is excellent, with any ZhDLS. It is erased quickly, having literally touched with cotton wool varnish, it is absent any more.
10. Result.
Personally this bottle of varnish did not impress me! For me still remains not clear from what there is such high price. I consider that the price is overstated and unjustified. Itself, I did not buy such varnish. But if you are interested in something new and unusual, try! And suddenly it will also be pleasant to you.
