Oriflame The One Long Wear Nail Polish Review

Hello all!

This came in my mailbox 2days back- Oriflame The One Long Wear Nail Polish range that claims to be extra long-lasting. I received the range in 9 different colours of nail polish. Just take a sneak peak to these lovely shades! 

Oriflame products are high-quality and The One collection not only has nail polish but beautiful lipsticks, blushes, eyeliners, eye shadows,  mascaras and lip glosses among which I have reviewed many.

Ruby Rouge, London Red, Red Sky at Night, Night Orchid, Fuchsia Allure, Strawberry Cream, Purple in Paris, Cappucino, Ballerina Rose

 

About Oriflame The One Long Wear Nail Polish:

These are long-lasting and high gloss nail polish that comes in beautiful vivid, bright colours & looks enchanting on nails. The Expert Gel Technology of this nail polish adds even coverage and also helps in preventing colour fade very quickly.

 

My view about Oriflame The One Long Wear Nail Polish:

This has flat and little wider brush than any normal nail paint brushes. It comes in a round transparent glass bottle. The brush helps quick and precise application of nail colour. The texture is quite thick than usual and thus second layer application gets even thicker. But, you will need 3 layers of most of the shade to get the best colour. The smell is just like any other nail polish and doesn’t cause irritation. This takes a little longer time to dry and starts to chip in 2-3 days.

Lets us very quickly take a look at the shades with short description!

Dove Dryness Care Conditioner Review

GUEST POST: Apoorva

Today I am going to review one of my favourite, rather my HG conditioner for you people. I keep trying lots of  shampoos and conditioners for myself from different brands, sometimes herbal, sometimes even exclusive salon ranges… But one conditioner I keep coming back to and find absolutely reasonably priced is this Dove Dryness care conditioner. It smoothens and detangles my hair beautifully and revives all the lost moisture, post shampooing. So, let us move on to the review and talk in full length and breadth about this product…

What Dove Dryness Care Conditioner Claims

At Dove we are dedicated to providing superior care solutions for hair experiencing dryness and damage. That’s is why we have developed specially tailored ranges-Nutritive Solutions to make dry hair feel nourished  and damaged solutions to repair damaged hair.

Dove Dryness Care Conditioner contain pro-moisture complex, which goes to the cellular level of the hair without weighing it down, making your hair up to 5 x smoother, Enjoy beautiful hair that is silky to touch and easy to manage every day

Shelf Life of Dove Dryness Care Conditioner :

2 years

Price of Dove Dryness Care Conditioner :

Rs.68/- for 80 ml.

Ingredients list of Dove Dryness Care Conditioner:

Please refer the image

Direction for Use of Dove Dryness Care Conditioner:

 After shampooing, massage conditioner through the hair and rinse thoroughly after 1 to 3 minute. For best result use daily with Dove Dryness Care shampoo.

My views about Dove Dryness Care Conditioner

First of all, the packaging, it comes in a squeeze format, plastic tube. The tube is opaque with a flip open cap.-The cap closes well enough. You can carry this safely in your travel bag, if you need to.

The consistency is thick, like a cream.. pretty much like all conditioners or slightly thicker, may be. It is pearly white in colour. It has a mild, fruity smell that is very pleasant and is retained by freshly washed hair for a couple of minutes, at least. It is a mild formula and can be used safely on hair. I shampoo and condition my hair every alternate day and I have not experienced any ill effects like dandruff, hair fall etc after using this product. It says something about preventing split ends, sorry, I cannot comment on that as I do not have many split ends, luckily.

This conditioner from Dove claims of having some micro moisture serum and fibre actives  that revive your hair as you lather this Dryness Care conditioner onto your locks. Well, I use it along the length of my hair ( never on my scalp)  after shampooing and leave it on for 3 to 4 minutes before rinsing off. It instantly softens my hair and makes it silky. It detangles my hair and keeps the frizz under control and restores the moisture of my hair locks after shampooing. Another good thing is that it does not weigh down my hair or making it limpy , at all. It is a unisex product, suitable for both men and women.

So, all in all, I am very happy with this conditioner. The quantity is fine given the price of the product. So, it’s a thumbs up from me for Dove dryness care conditioner.
