New Nubar Collections are available!

The Night Sky Collection was inspired by the shifting colors of the evening sky. Each of the three shades dries to a shimmering matte finish and can be worn either alone or topped with Diamont Seal & Shine Quick Dry Top Coat for a Dazzling Shine.

Sunset - is the rich golden shade of a perfect sunset, Twilight - is a subtle light grey seen just before nightfall, and Midnight is the deep charcoal of a clear moonlit night.

Nubar celebrates ten years of creating safe and innovative nail lacquers free of DBP (phthalate), formaldehyde, and toluene with Nubar 2010. This fantastic shade consists of flakes of reflective glitter in a polychromatic base, and displays its many shades when worn alone as a sheer polish or layered over other nubar nail lacquers for a dramatic effect. The limit to nubar 2010's possibilities is your imagination!

I'm going to order because I feel I will like those. And 2010 is just gorgeus (looks like good replacement of Hidden Treasure which I still can't find).

OPI DS Diamond & Nubar Gem

I just realized that my choices of holos from Nubar Prism Collection and from OPI Designer Series are not random. I bought 2 from each collection and they share the same gender. Even they are not dupes at all.

Before removing OPI DS Desire I wore on weekend I changed polish on middle finger to show you comparison with Nubar Jewel.

Desire is very crazy holo but Jewel is not holo at all. I can call Jewel true prismatic.

OPI DS Diamond has very subtile holographic effect which visible only in bright sun. It looks like shimmer in shade but it's never boring. Because of that it's also totally appropriate for my activities (dog shows) and as I mentioned in other post it stays up to week without any tip wear. I love to use it for trips. Base color is somewhere between silver and lavender and multicolored glitter is very fine and smooth.

Nubar Gem is my other favorite. Base has slight duo-chrome effect and changes colors between light taupe and soft peachy pink. Glitter particles are larger and very shiny. It doesn't have typical hologram look but it's very complex and interesting. Gem is similar to Jewell and very different from all other polishes I ever saw.

And here is comparison of two of them so you can see how different they are. And I need them all. Gem is on middle finger. Diamond is on index, ring and pinkie.

All my duochromes comparison

I was asked to swatch Nubar Purple Beach and Zoya Ki, which I purchased recently. They are both from the same category purple based with green duochrome effect. Unfortunately it's hard to see duo-effect from pictures. LOL It was more obvious in real life. Purple beach has more olive kind of green and Ki has more blue green. Both are very stylish and I'm sure I will wear it a lot.

Since I found very few duochromes in my collection I swatched almost all I have. I added Nubar Wild Life and Maybelline Vanishing Venus. Last one has more reddish purple base and duo-color is teal. It's only one I put 3 coats and could use even more because it's more sheer. Nubar Wild Life is more green then it looks on my pictures but very beautiful nevertheless.

NOTD - Nubar Jewel

It's so wonderful. First Nubar I ever tried is HG. I can't explain how beautiful it is and pictures didn't show it either. Warm brown metallic base with multicolored prismatic glitter.

Application was easy and I kept it on nails 5 days without any single chip.

Nubar can easily become my favorite brand. I can't wait to try more of them.

Crazy polish shopping

This week is pretty good. I got few packages with polishes I ordered last week. And I love them all. But I have to promise myself don't buy more before I try at least half of what I already have.

I promise to swatch all of them soon. Can't wait.
