Nubar Sparkles Collection Swatches and Review

Happy Friday Internet!

How are you on this fine day?

Today I’ve got Nubar’s new spring collection called Sparkles. This is a collection of eight colors packed with very fine, sugar-like glitter.

For me, the formula on these wasn’t the greatest. Having said that, I was rushed and didn’t have a lot of time to let each coat dry in-betwen coats. These do tend to cause bald spots and cuticle drag if you apply the coats too fast, and that’s what I did. So I can’t say for sure if it was the polish’s fault or mine or both. But some of these did turn out better than others.

In these pics I started off with the sun shining but literally 15 minutes later it was completely grey and cloudy. So you might notice some pics are darker than others, sorry can’t fight Mother Nature! :)

Oh about removal, yes it’s a pain. Just remember, soak a cotton ball in remover, leave it on your nail for 20-30 seconds then wipe off in one single hard stoke down the nail. Then use the other clean side of the cotton ball or a new one for the remaining glitter so you don’t spread it around.

Now peep em out!

Nubar Star Sparkles Nubar Sparkles Collection Swatches and Review
Star Sparkles

Star Sparkles is filled with silver and holographic glitter. What I really liked about this is that the coverage was really great. A lot of times when you have a silver glitter polish, it seems sparse and isn’t very opaque. This is great on it’s own. This was three coats.

Nubar Prisms Collection Swatches and Review

Happy Tuesday all!

I hope your week is flying by and is a short one so you can celebrate the holidays soon!

Today I will be showing you Nubar’s new collection of holographic glitter colors called the Prisms Collection, which is made up of eight new colors.

Nubar’s formula is most excellent these are all just top notch, I had no issues whatsoever. They are very holographic also, not just a little bit. Some don’t look like they would be in the bottles but once they’re on its a different story. A couple are more glittery than the others, and I’ll point those out below. All of these were three coats. Check them out!

Nubar Chocolate Truffles Collection Swatches and Review

Happy hump day!

Who doesn’t like chocolate? I don’t know of anyone! Nubar has a fabulous new collection of six colors called Chocolate Truffles. The name alone makes my mouth water, and the colors only add to my craving!

Nubar is rapidly becoming one of my top 5 favorite polish brands. Their formula is just totally spot on. You have probably heard me rave on and on about their Foundation base coat and Diamont top coat. Don’t worry, I plan on doing a separate post on those products shortly.

Considering they are big three free and vegan/cruelty free, that just makes them even better. My only complaint with Nubar is that I wish their polishes were available in stores rather than online only. Maybe that will change soon though! Peep these out and just TRY not to eat a chocolate bar afterwards!

Nubar Modern Matte for Fall 2009

We’re almost there, 5:00 is only a few hours away!

I am late to the party with Nubar’s Modern Matte collection for fall 2009, but that’s ok. These are beautiful, satiny, shimmery matte colors that are a lot different from the other mattes I have shown before which are either chalkier OR mostly black and grey tones. I also couldn’t resist putting on Nubar’s Diamont top coat with these to see what they looked like glossy and WOW, I was even more impressed with the bling.

A word about formula on these. These, like most mattes, dry really fast but not as fast as some so you have a brief moment to fix any issues. They are also all two coaters. See results below!
