Way back when I still had a more oval nail shape and hadn’t set up my photo tent I wanted to create some kind of candy themed manicure. First I painted a base of OPI’s Alpine Snow (my favorite white polish of all time) and dotted Haribo candy on top with Nubar’s Sexy Red, China Glaze’s green Starboard and OPI’s yellow Candlelight. I added some pink dots with Sally Hansen’s Party Hard-Y.
Nubar’s Chartreuse is one of those polishes that scream spring and summer. The color itself is actually quite flattering and the polish has Nubar’s usual fantastic formula; easy to apply, opaque at two generous coats and dried fast. This rapidly became a favorite everyday wear polish 🙂
If you can spot those little tiny hexes of green glitter they are my failed attempt at a subtle polka dot manicure with hand placed glitter.
There have been very few additions to my stash lately but Nubar’s My Sweet Escape collection is one of them.
In general I prefer to use Nubar for day to day manicures because of their (unique for me) ability to NOT chip after less then 24 hours.
L-R: Dusk till Dawn, Into the Wild, Jaded and Sour Apple.
L-R: Nubar’s Resort Yellow, My New Obsession, On the Radar and Forbidden Fruit.
Nubar’s Terra-Cotta and H&M’s Two Way Nail Art Pen in black. My first try so the result is… well. 🙂
Nubar’s Terra-Cotta is a heavily pigmented burnt reddish orange with Nubars amazing formula. It clearly is more appropriate during fall but I like it like this too 🙂
Today I have a manicure for you that consists of two favorites of mine; Nubar’s teal crelly Mystique and KBShimmer’s Bejeweled. I love to use the latter in this kind of sloppy glitter gradient and this combination reminds me of coins in wishing wells 🙂
Nubar’s Mystique is the perfect darker teal polish. It has the amazing formula that I’m used to with Nubar; it’s great during application, needs two coats for opacity and dries fast. Aaaand it’s so beautiful 🙂
With Nubar’s pink Rouge as the base I stamped paisley print with Gina Tricot’s bright yellow Lemon. Happy and summery 🙂
Nubar is truly a favorite brand for me and even though this is hardly my kind of pink polish I like Nubar’s Rouge well enough. Rouge is a creme polish with Nubars wonderful formula; it was easy to apply and dried fast. It needs a top coat badly though.
These pictures show it off a bit less bright pink then it should be 🙂
I was in the mood for some color matching stamping and decided to use Nubar’s Romance as the base. On top I stamped roses with Bundlemonster’s plate BM-323 and the deep purple shimmer Let’s Groove from China Glaze.
