Lovely red jelly with a glorious gold shimmer shot through, it's a little darker than it appears in these pics, and is all the nicer for it. Both pictures show two coats over a Mavala base, and with a Seche Vite topcoat. I could actually have got away with one coat, but I wanted to apply two, just to see how the colour came out. I'm glad I did. Formulation is a bit on the thick side for Nubar, but it applied and dried very nicely.
Picture of the ring finger there is a fairly accurate representation of how the colour looks in normal light. Just lovely!
And from the Fortress collection - which is a selection of all grey shades, which is fairly unusual in itself - I selected the one which looked most interesting, Silver Sword, which is a mid-grey metallic finish, and I got the lovely Kerry to be my hand-model for this one:
Above pic shows two coats with a top coat (think it's from No. 17) application was good, and this is a lovely finish which doesn't seem to be blighted with brush strokes.
Looking forward to trying this one myself, it looks lovely! I will bring you more shades from both of these collections next week.
Which do you prefer, the greys or the reds?
Nubar polishes are available from Beauty Shed, and cost £8 each.
The Small Print: I was sent this for review purposes, so I reviewed them. I'm nice like that ;) All opinions are honest, regardless of the source.
I never thought I'd say this, but I actually prefer the greys! I guess theyre more unique and every brand seems to have a red with gold shimmer :)
ReplyDeleteThe greys appeal to me much more!
ReplyDeleteThe greys are lovely, and, while the reds are nothing unique, *I* think they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh you're not wrong, I love reds, love them. I just don't wear them much as I always feel a bit ostentatious!
ReplyDeleteI love the greys! So gorgeous. (The red looks pretty too, but the grey is something special!)
