Nubar Knight's Armor

Hi all!

Today I have a polish for you that I borrowed from Michèle (thanks hun!); Nubar Knight's Armor. I actually ordered it myself, but while I was ordering, it went out of stock. Meh. Anyway, I could play with it a bit so here it is!

Nubar Knight's Armor, two coats in daylight. Knight's Armor has square silver glitter in a black base. It looks alright when applied like this. I expected the glitters to give the polish more dimension, but it doesn't. So, of course, I slapped a coat of matte topcoat on it to see how that would look.

Nubar Knight's Armor, two coats with one coat of Essie Matte About You in daylight. That's better! Somehow the matte topcoats adds depth to it and I'm digging this.

Appliction of Knight's Armor is good. The glitters won't slide everywhere when you're applying it, which is a big plus! The polish dries quickly and was dry before I could take pictures.

That's is for today, dear reader, thanks for stopping by!

Nubar Raspberry Truffle

Hi all!

I wanted to post this yesterday, but due to the weather I wasn't able to.. The thunder and lightning made my internet connection go crazy! This polish is one that I was lemming quite badly since I saw swatches online. Nubar isn't easy to get your hands on in The Netherlands, since bynubar.com doesn't ship outside the us, so it took me a while to find an etailer that could sell me this pretty. I'm talking about Nubar Raspberry Truffle, which is a part of the Chocolate Truffles Collection for Fall/Winter 2009.

Nubar Raspberry Truffle, two coats in indirect daylight. Raspberry Truffle is a gorgeous deep dark chocolate brown with red and raspberry colored shimmer. The color is closer towards the first picture. Rich and deep dark brown.. It's a unique polish in my stash and I love it. It has the vampy feel and look that I love lately and it's just gorgeous.. I totally forgot to mattify it, so I'll do that next week.

Application was good. I never have problems with Nubar actually.. The brush is easy to work with and the cap is nice to hold, so no problems there either.

Thanks for stopping by!

Nubar Pink Elegance

...is not elegant at all. I mean who comes up with these names? :) Apart from the name, the color is lovely. A super bright hot pink with blue sheen. Too bad this polish is runny, you need three coats for full coverage. Not a must have, I think there are polishes like this with a better formula.

Nubar Iris Dust

Hi all!

How are you all doing? Surviving the week so far? I'm so damn tired since we have summertime (last sunday). My whole biological clock is screwed up! So I'll make it a relatively short post again, sorry about that. I have Nubar Iris Dust for you today. I have had her for quite a while now and I've worn her before, but I had serious shrinkage with Seche Vite before I could take pics. So here she is!

Nubar Iris Dust, four coats in daylight. Iris Dust is a quite sheer, but very pretty duochrome that flashes between dark, faded pink and bronze. I'd say you can best layer this over another color, since I still have VNL with those four coats. I think I would have liked her even more if the bronze was darker, but that's just me :)

The polish structure is quite thin, making it sheer. Drying time is quite long, but this is caused by the many layers I put on my nails before taking these pics. I didn't have issues with application whatsoever though.

What do you think of Iris Dust? Do you like duochromes as much as I do? It's just fascinating to see the colors change on my nails. What's your favorite duochrome?

Thanks for stopping by!

Nubar Cupcake Magenta

What a nice positive color. I hope you are not bored of pinks :) This one is beautiful, creme. I have two coats. Too much work to do so today´s post is short. Hope you are all ok!

Krásná pozitivní barvička. Doufám, že vás ty růžovoky nenudí, protože tahle je moc pěkná, krémová. Lakovala jsem dvěma vrstvama. Mám málo času, tak dneska jen takhle krátce. Doufám, že se všichni máte fajn :)
