NOTD: Nubar Strawberry Punch

How I wish I could rock sheers, but it's not really happening. They has very pretty shimmer though, so I still love it.

NOTD: Nubar Cotton Candy

The Sweet Nothings collection might be my favorite Nubar collection of all time. The colors are so unique. I'm just totally in love with the glitter in these polishes. Cotton Candy is a blueish green with yellow glitter. Sounds crazy, right? Well, it's crazy beautiful. The polishes from this collection are all a little sheer, so if you don't want to be able to see your nail through the polish, I'd recommend layering them over an opaque color. My picture is three coats of Cotton Candy, and even the boy friend commented on how pretty it looked!

Swatch Party! Eyeko, Nubar Sweet Nothings, and Hong Kong Glitters

Hi peeps! I finally got around to swatching some polishes on my lemming wheel. The glitters are one coat, Eyekos two coats, and Nubars 3 coats.

First lets talk about the Eyeko polishes. It took forever for them to deliver, but the polishes them selves do deliver! They have great pigmentation (there's only two coats on the lemming wheel) and application, and the brush is not as annoying as it looks. I'll definitely be ordering the two last Eyeko polishes. They are £3.00 at
http://www.eyeko.com/ and shipping is free!

I'm not as thrilled about the Hong Kong Glitters (I think the brand might be called "HQ", but I'm not sure). I bought these from Paul Lee Design on ebay. The polishes are very cheap, but shipping is expensive. They smell REALLY BAD. A nasty, chemical smell that will eat your brain. Honestly I'm afraid of putting them on my nail. Ingredients weren't listed on the bottles, so I have no idea what's in them.

The Nubars are from the Sweet Nothings Collection. I've talked about that collection earlier, because I wanted Iced Licorice. The other colors looked nice as well, so I picked up the collection pack. The colors are somewhat sheer but buildable. The lemming wheel shows 3 coats. They have very nice micro glitter. I'm excited to see how they will compare with the China Glaze summer collection.
