Despite my bad application this polish color was absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait until I actually put it on properly – 2 thin coats and a top coat!
This was a 2 coater and the glitter was very subtle, despite the appearance of the bottle. However, it’s glitter and was a bit difficult to remove because it’s so small…and so spaced out. I did love this, though. Absolutely GORGEOUS!
It is no Yoga-ta Get This Blue, it is pretty darn close! However, Yoga is a lot cheaper than RBL.
The shimmer in here makes the color pop and look almost electric against my skin. It’s kind of cool, isn’t it?
Bon weekend, mes amis!
Definitely a summer color…or a winter color to chase away the blahs.
Illamasqua has great application, it’s smooth and lump free. Nice and quick drying, too!
Check it out.
It’s even more stunning in person, too! I definitely can’t wait to wear it again.
Notes: Formula dried fast. I’m not a fan of glitter, but I did fall in love with these. Nubar, Zoya and China Glaze are my favorites. SpaRitual really doesn’t fall in there (even though I love their nail polish) because they are extremely hard for me to come by. If SpaRitual would let me buy on their site or if my fave nail polish man here in CA would sell it, I would be reviewing SR a lot more. The glitter in these are extremely dense. So dense that even 2 coats of a top coat couldn’t produce a smooth surface. I don’t like dented polish. I know it sounds silly, but that’s just me. Each of these polishes were 2 coaters unless otherwise noted. They went on extremely well and no clumpy, lumpy, piss-me-off messes. Way to go Nubar! 🙂
You’ve seen this before. 🙂 I wore it a few weeks ago to cheer me up when we were going into a rain filled weekend.
Not sure why but when I saw this I was reminded of China Glaze’s Ruby Pumps. This was far prettier in the shade than in the sunlight. Sun totally washed it out.
Dug this light green green glitter that had the right combo of warm and cool hues. I think people of both skin tones can wear this safely.
Mega dense glitter that really sparkled so intensely I think it actually tamed the sunlight that shined down on this color. One of my faves from this collection.
I couldn’t make up my mind as to whether I liked this or not. I’m leaning more towards like. Pretty magenta-esque color that was easy to apply.
This aptly named color could have benefited from 3 coats instead of 2. This one is at the bottom of the list for me.
I think this is the type of glitter polish that you use over other dark colors to bring out a prettiness to them. I don’t feel this is a stand alone glitter…maybe I should’ve done three coats.
For me this one and Hyacinth sparkle were my all time favorites. I’m going to have to put this on for the weekend.
So the first color I’m showing is called Wing It!
I’m not a fan of this shade. It’s a bit too sheer for my taste…to make matters worse, I feel this pink is a bit too youthful for me. Like Fairy Princess kind of pink for a little girl. What may camera failed to capture was the pretty iridescence of the glitter. It’s actually prettier than the actual base color! So while I was disappointed in this color, it was a bit too pink/too close to coral for my taste.
Look carefully at this color…isn’t it gorgeous? It is, isn’t it? Scroll down for the reality.

So here we are…literally dupes. You can’t see how gorgeous this (these) color(s) is(are) – it’s like mermaid scales. There is a slight green shimmer and gold glitter that runs through it. Absolutely gorgeous. What a pity that it’s a total dupe of Zoya’s Charla. So…surprise! If you weren’t able to get a hold of Charla, grab OPI’s Catch Me In Your Net.
Heck, here are the ding dang bottle shots!
The formula on this was runny and hard to work with. Both of the colors above were 2 coaters.
Nubar’s formula for this polish was no different. I’m a bit angry with myself for purchasing their collection and I will put up the other 2 swatches tomorrow. I didn’t put a top coat all the way on the polish to show how it looks, but I did put it on the tips.
My apologies for the bad shot in the shade…I had my camera set to a different setting and I forgot to put it back.
Before you say it or think it, yes. I am a nail tape n00b. Look at those definitive lines. *sigh* I’ll be practicing more with them…You’ll see if I improve tomorrow. 😀
I think secretly in my mind I had a vision where it would be this stunning pink with gold shimmer on me. The kind that was so flattering that people would stop me and ask, “What color *is* that? It looks so wonderful on you!”
Sadly, I was mistaken. It aged me. Yes, that is exactly what happened. It aged me. Made my hands look more like old lady than cool hip chick.
What a pity. It’s still a gorgeous color. I may reserve it for my toes, but even then I worry I’ll look like I’m 80, not 30-something.
See the pretty golden glitter in the shade shot? You can actually see the pool of gold glitter where it says Oz. on the bottle. The color looks much better in the shade than in the sunlight shot below. Sunlight just completely wiped it out.
Formula was so good – fast drying and only a 2 coater.
