Girly Bits Shift Happens

Hi there!

Today I have my new favorite polish for you. This is so awesome! I can´t even describe it. The name just says it all: Shift Happens. And it happens all the time in all sorts of colors. My pics of this are ok, but in real life this polish is even 100 times prettier.

This is 1 coat of Nubar Noir and 2 coats of Girly Bits Shit Happens.

Get it while you can!! It´s a perfect multichrome and just glows!

Love it!!

Have a great day and thanks for visiting!

My own Unicorn Puke

Hello!

Since I´m quite sure I will never ever own Cult Nails Clairvoyant (aka Unicorn Puke) I decided to create my own. I have so many different flakie polishes so I was sure I could create something very cool. And it worked out very well.

Ingredients:
1 coat Nubar Noir
1 coat Essence Night In Vegas
1 coat Golden Rose scale effect 11
1 coat Golden Rose scale effect 02 (my all time favorite flakie)

It looks awesome! Let´s see if you agree with me.

Look at all those colors! I mean, it´s all there: red, orange, yellow, gold, green, blue, purple. Wow!

I still want Clairvoyant though...

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Nubar Knights Armor with Ozotic 530

Hi ladies!

Today I´ve got a duochrome glitter bomb for you. This is pretty awesome I can tell you. Most duochromes and duochrome glitters are layered over black. Since I still hadn´t used my Ozotic 530 I decided that I wanted to wear that and went through my black polishes to see which one I was going to use. That´s when I saw my Nubar Knights Armor and I thought why not?! I mean, it has a black base right. Ok, it has very much silver glitter in it, but I figured it might look cool.

Nubar always has great application and Knights Armor is no exception. I used 2 coats of the black jelly with silver glitter. Then I topped it of with 2 coats of Ozotic 530 from the Elytra collection. It´s the yellow, orange and pink duochrome glitter.

Let´s take a look at the pictures.

In real life you actually see a lot more yellow. You mostly see the orange and pink in the pictures. I´m sorry my first 3 pics are a bit dark, but they are taken in shade because you can see the glitter and duochrome better that way.

So what do you think? Was this layering a good idea or a bit too much? I love it!

Thanks for watching!

Ozotic Elytra 528

Goodmorning ladies!

For todays manicure I used 1 coat of Nubar Noir and 2 coats of 528. I think this might have become my favorite polish ever!! Oh man, I love it! It's so gorgeous and unique!
Well, just enjoy the pics and hope to "see" you soon :-)

Nubar Lavender

Hi ladies!


Todays polish is my NOTD from last monday. Nubar Lavender is a light lilac creme. Can you believe that I actually wore a pastel creme for a whole day without adding glitter, flakies or any other sort of shimmer on top? Well, it is true. I was actually in the mood for something soft. And this totally screams spring too.




Application was great! 1 thick coat and a topcoat and that´s it. The brush is also perfect, I didn´t need any clean up. Love Nubar!

Somehow you do see quite some flaws in the pictures. I hadn´t noticed them irl at all. Well, you just have to believe me on that one :-)

Nubar Gem + bonus pic

Goodmorning to you all!

Today I´ve got a polish for you that I have worn before, but I think I haven´t shown you this before. This polish in my opinion is pretty unique. It´s even quite difficult to discribe the color, but I´ll do my best. It´s sort of a light taupe with a pink flash/duochrome and packed with holo glitter. Awesome! Had a hard time photographing it, I made some pictures while I was in traffic jam (didn´t find any other time with daylight to make pics). Hope you´ll like them anyway.

This is 3 coats of Nubar Gem with tc.

Stunning, don´t you think? I do hate that I didn´t get better pics of this pretty.

And for the bonus: My daughter did an ombre mani with purple polishes with holo glitter.

Aw, my sweet love! Isn´t this just cute? I was sorting out my collection and while doing that my daughter went through all my polishes with me and decided to use all these shades.

From left to right: Massini Slammin Red, Massini Purple Medallion, Jordana Purple Gleam, Nina Pro Purple Xing

Silver stamping

Hello!

About 2 weeks ago I saw these nail sticker things (the ones you use instead of nail polish, don´t remember the name) in a silver zebra print. I liked the combo so I decided I could do that myself. So I used Nubar Twilight Matte as a base and stamped the zebra print on top with China Glaze Millennium. I was quite satisfied with the result.

Here are the pictures.

In the sun this was actually pretty cool! Some sparkles came through because of the matte base with topcoat. But my sun pictures failed, haha.

What do you guys think? Pretty cool right?

Thanks for watching!

GIVEAWAY

Chocolate Caramel

Goodmorning!

Today I've got some chocolate for you! Chocolate and caramel to be exact.

I already had Nubar Raspberry Truffle but I decided to buy 2 more from that collection, because I figured I needed more brown because it is more work appropriate. And why not get pretty browns then right? For today it is Nubar Chocolate Caramel. It is really glowy! Gold sparkles from within. I like it, true caramel color.

This is 2 coats

Pretty don't you agree? Will show you my other new Nubar soon as well.

Thanks for watching!

Comparison flakies over Nubar Raspberry Truffle

Hi ladies!

The day before yesterday I showed you Nubar Raspberry Truffle and I told you I wanted to layer something over it. I couldn´t decide what to do, but I did know I wanted to compare different flakies over a dark color someday, so why not now?! So I pulled out my orange/yellow/red flakies to see what happens when you put them over Raspberry Truffle.

First the pictures.

Once again: excuse my horrible skin and cuticles, I wish there would be a solution for it

I used 1 coat of all flakies.

Index = Nfu Oh 49, flakies in a very sheer pink base
Middle = Nfu Oh 51, flakies in a sheer purple base
Ring = Barielle Elle´s Spell, flakies in a sheer red base
Pinkie = Gosh Rainbow, flakies in a clear base

As you can see the flakies in Nfu Oh 51 aren´t as visible as the others. Nfu Oh 49 and Gosh Rainbow don´t show any difference on the nail. And what´s also obvious is that the base color hardly shows at all. The flakies of Nfu Oh 51 and Barielle Elle´s Spell don´t shift color as much as the other two.

All together I can say Gosh Rainbow is an absolute musthave for layering. It is discontinued, but it has 3 dupes: Nubar 2010, Nfu Oh 38 and Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Gorgeous brown with red glitter aka Nubar Raspberry Truffle

Goodmorning!

I´m pretty sure I´ve shown you this pretty before, but some polishes are allowed to be shown twice, don´t you think?! And this is definitely one of them. I am going to show you some nice layering with this one later this week, but haven´t decided yet what it´s going to be.

Since I use quite thick layers, I only needed one coat. Application with Nubar is almost perfect, so no complaints there. And the brown color with red glitter is just so awesome. It does have a dupe since a few months, so if you can´t find it, you can always try to get OPI Teas-y Does It.

Now, let´s take a look at this beauty.

*sigh* Beautiful!

Thanks for stopping by!

Nubar Iced Licorice

Hello ladies!

Today I have my NOTD from over a week ago. I got this one in a swap with Cat with whom I did a swap before. Thanks Cat for the many pretty polishes again!!
I´ve been doubting about this color for such a long time, yes, no, yes, no. But now that I´ve got it, I know exactly why I was doubting. There are quite a lot of swatches of this beauty, but it doesn´t photograph well, so the color you see on most swatches are not the color it actually is. The best way I can describe it for you is a little bit darker version of Zoya Zara with more golden shimmer. It really is gorgeous! And also work appropriate I think.
Only one problem, I forgot to take pictures in daylight, how stupid is that?! So like all the other swatches I´ve seen, my pictures also don´t do it justice. But hey, you´re here to see pictures, so of course I´ll post some artificial light pics.

This is Nubar Iced Licorice, 3 coats and topcoat.

Maybe I should have been patient and leave this on until the next morning to take some daylight pictures. But I received 2 Barielles and wanted to try them out so bad. My very first Barielles, yay! So Iced Licorice had to go. Eventhough I love it! And before I forget, as always, application was goooood! I hardly needed any clean up at all. Pics are actually pre-clean up.

Thanks for stopping by and don´t forget to come back here tomorrow for my very first Barielle NOTD :-)

Nubar Purple Beach and Chelsea Kaleidoscope

Goodmoring!!

A new week and I´ve got some nice things to show. First of all I´ll start this week with a comparison. Every once in a while I´ll go through my stash to see if I don´t have dupes or colors that are to similar to keep. When I used Chelsea Kaleidoscope a while back it really reminded me of Nubar Purple Beach. And although I didn´t think they would be that close, I thought it was worth doing a comparison.

Here are the pictures:

Well, I was wrong. I have to admit that I´m not even sure which one is the Nubar and which one is the Chelsea. They are not dupes, but they are very very very close! I think middle and pinkie is Nubar Purple Beach and index and ring is Chelsea Kaleidoscope. Both 3 coats. You might not even see the difference in the picture, but the purple in Kaleidoscope is just a little more blue than the purple in Purple Beach.

So I´ve decided one has to go. I mean, I don´t need backups, since I don´t ever see myself finishing a whole bottle of nail polish anyway. Now I have to decide which one has to go, I think it´s going to be the Chelsea, although both apply very well!

Yes, it really is hard to keep my stash below 200... Especially when I secretely have around 40 in my swap drawer, but they really do have to go!! I might put them up for sale on eBay or marketplace all at once. If any of my dear readers is interested, just let me know.

Have a nice day!

Pastel Skittles

Hello!

Last week I did my first skittle manicure. In spring we saw a lot of these manicures in pastel colors, but since the sun was shining I was in the mood for something happy, colorful and just like spring, so I made pastel skittles in autumn, haha.

Here´s the picture

Thumb: Models Own Peach Sherbet (3 coats)
Index: Models Own Lemon Meringue (3 coats)
Middle: OPI Hey! Get in Lime! (3 coats)
Ring: Orly Snowcone (2 coats)
Pinkie: Nubar Lavender (1 coat)

I actually bought the Peach Sherbet only to do a skittle mani, there´s no way I could ever wear a color like this on its own, and still in the skittle I don´t really like, haha. Actually, I don´t think I´m a pastel girl at all! Although I do like the colors, but they are just not me or something.

Well, it did turn out lovely! Very sweet! But probably more a combination that I will use on my daughter. But it was definitely nice to have some spring in autumn.

Bye ladies!

Accessorize day 7: Bronze

Goodmorning!

Today I've got another polish from Accessorize for you which I thought I would have a dupe for. But no, luckily I don't. Of course I did do a comparrison to show you it is close to others I own.

This is Accessorize Bronze, 2 coats. Flawless apllication like with all the other Accessorizes I've tried so far.

Nice pink, orange, yellow, bronze duochrome.

And here's the comparison

Index = Ozotic 502 3 coats
Middle and pinkie = Accessorize Bronze 2 coats
Ring = Nubar Wild Life 2 coats

Ok, as said, no dupes. I do think there is a dupe for this one out there. Probably Nubar Iris Dust or Nubar Star Dust. But I'm not sure, because I don't have those.
The colors of Ozotic 502 are sort of the same, but a lot brighter. The Ozotic is quite sheer though.

Which of these 3 do you like the most? Or don't you like all of them?

Enjoy your weekend!
