Temptalia Reviews nubar's Finest Silks

In Temptalia's recent review of nubar's Finest Silks Collection, Christine was just as impressed with nubar's smooth formula as other expert reviewers. She says, "Application was stellar on all of the creams: two coats for creamy, smooth, even color. The formula isn’t too thick or thin, and the rubber cap makes it easy to hold when applying."

She reviewed the collection in two parts, swatching Organza, Taffeta, Marabout, and Pekin in Part I, and Sateen, Charmeuse, Moire, and Chiffon in Part II. Christine found her favorite Finest Silks shade in Charmeuse, which she calls, "a wearable, modern pink–not bright, not utterly girly, and not pastel."

nubar's Finest Silks Collection received an overall score of 29/30 from Temptalia, and the collection is available now at www.bynubar.com.

nubar's Finest Silks Are a Hit with Scrangie

When Scrangie reviewed nubar's Finest Silks Collection, she was especially impressed with nubar's smooth formula. She said, "The formula on these was just perfect. Dreamy. Flawless, effortless application... Drying time is good and I experienced no problems with the texture, application or brushes. The formula was really, really great, I am impressed with it more than I am with the colors."

Of the collection as a whole she said, "The press release states that they were aiming for a collection of timeless colors for every skintone with the benefit of a two-coat coverage formula, and that's exactly what they've created."

Stephanie's Swatches of nubar's Venetian Glass Collection


nubar's exceptionally pigmented formula was noted by several reviewers.  Scandously Polished says, "These are so packed with glass-fleck I think I'd almost call them semi-foil...I LOVE glass fleck! Its so smooth...The formula on these was great, the standard I've come to anticipate from Nubar...I like it that Nubar breaks out of the box and releases collection other companies don't. "  Brooke at Getcha Nails Did adds, "...these colors just scream leaves changing colors and autumn weather... These have vivid hues and a strong glass flecked shimmer with rich color saturation."  Siobhan at The Nailphile was impressed too, stating that, "I was excited about opaque glass flecked polishes, since most glass flecked are pretty sheer on me."  These ladies photographed all eight shades on the nail, and here are some highlights from each of them.

The standout favorite shade amongst the reviewers from nubar's Venetian Glass Collection seems to be Verde, about which Beautopia says, "This one is AMAZING! It's got a blue base and it's full of green and golden foil shimmer that floats on top. It's super pigmented and applies like a dream. This is just beyond words!"

It is a super colorful, bright, bold, vibrant, saturated PURPLE!!! glitter. It's a little more sheer than the others so I did three coats here, but it is well worth it. This could be my favorite glitter of all time. I can't even tell you how excited I am that this polish exists."

WhoWhatWear: nubar Is Ahead of the Curve

WhoWhatWear recently featured nubar's Sandstone Nail Lacquer as a top pick for this season's trend of taupe nails, noting that nubar is again ahead of the trend in color creation.

WhoWhatWear Features nubar's Sandstone as a Top Taupe Nail Polish Pick

Editor Liza Kaplan says:

Nubar's Nature's Touch Collection may have been a jewel derived from fall, but the inclusion of Sandstone with their richer reds meant they were truly ahead of the curve. Like all of Nubar's polishes, is it formaldehyde and carcinogen-free, and it offers the perfect true taupe tone to accessorize your spring essentials. As if this isn't enough, the polish also has a hint of subtle shimmer to add a touch of glamour to the hands of any pretty young thing.

nubar's Sandstone Nail Lacquer is available now at www.bynubar.com, and retails for $7.49.

nubar's Prism Collection

nubar's Prism Collection is released today, and has received a warm reception in reviews.

Kelly of Vampy Varnish says, "Nubar’s formula is most excellent these are all just top notch, I had no issues whatsoever. They are very holographic also, not just a little bit," and Anne at Beauty Xpose notes that, "All of the nail polishes glide on evenly without chunky glitter poking through the top as you might expect; the glitter lies flat, resulting in a smooth, glass-like finish." Scrangie's enthusiasm for the collection was clear when she said, "I was way too excited to wait for appropriate lighting for swatches, so I snapped a few pics in the dark of the Nubar Prism samples that just arrived."

Various reviewers have skillfully photographed the Prisms, previewing the eight holographic shades.

Beauty Judy shows Jewel and says, "The brown goes so well with the colors of the rainbow. I blurred this pic a bit so you could see those glitters!"

Polish or Perish shows Gem, saying, "I think this is my favorite one of the collection. There's something really unexpected about this polish."
