I loved how colourful and sparkly these nails were. I wore them a few weeks ago when the weather was horrible, grey and cold and these made it feel much more summery! The glitter coat is Nubar Hologram Glitter which always looks amazing over any colour.
Just a quick post this morning as I am off to spend the weekend at Loch Ness which was my birthday present from Nick!
Here I am wearing elf Dark Purple Glitter which is not anywhere near as glittery as you might think seeing as it has “glitter” in it’s name. To actually make this polish glitter, I have topped it with Nubar Hologram Glitter which is one of my all time favourite polishes! I love it!
1. Snuggly microwaveable slippers.

8. Gorgeous new Zing Organics candle.
9. Finished my Cath Kidston rose hand cream…
10. … and rediscovered Sranrom hand cream.
11. Started snowing while I was in work!
12. Snow settled in the evening.
13. Impressive waves at Stonehaven!
14. Surfers who must have been freezing seeing at the day before it was snowing!
15. Cute harbour at Stonehaven.
16. My first ever deep fried Mars bar!
Here I used my pastel blue Maybelline Forever Strong with my black Nubar Polka Dot topcoat. I love the combination!
I thought I’d try Indian Ocean layered over my Nubar Vogue Vert but I’m not really sure I like the combination. I don’t think the green colour really showed off the blue shimmer from Indian Ocean properly. What do you think?
Thursday is my last exam ever! I can’t wait until it’s over! Last week I decided to wear the old Nails Inc polish I rediscovered last week. I’ve just got one coat on and you can see that it’s quite shear but I really like it. It looks more blue/purple depending on the light so it really hard to capture! I’m not too keen on the cheap £1 top coat though I got from ASDA…. it keeps leaving bubbles on my nails!
After a few days I decided I to add some sparkles in the form of the Nubar Hologram Glitter polish which I absolutely love.
So, nothing very special but that’s how I did my nails last week. What do you think? Any suggestions of pretty summer polishes I could try?
Sorry for my lack of posts over the last few weeks. My dissertation is due in in just over a week so I’ve been working non stop on that! Here’s how I wore my nails last week - Ink A Dink A Pink from Nicole by OPI topped with the Nubar Polka Dot top coat. I rarely wear bright pink nail varnish but I really like how bright and summery this looked. What do you think?
I think this is one of my favourite designs I’ve worn, it’s so bright and summery!
I used my new yellow 17 polish for the base with Nubar Vogue Vert, Elf Purple Dream and Body Collection Crystal Suede in Midnight Blue on the tips. I topped the tips with Nubar Hologram Glitter. Do you like it?
This week I decided to try the Nubar Hologram Glitter over some different colours to see which looks the best.
The colours I’ve used on my left hand are…..

Thumb: Elf Dark Purple Glitter
I really can’t choose which combination I prefer, I keep changing my mind! I think the glitter looks good over all of the colours but different ones look better in different lights. What do you think? Have you got a favourite combination?
This week I’m wearing my second new polish from Nubar. This one is called Vogue Vert and is sort of a faded green colour. It’s really different from any other colour I have and I really like it. In real life, it’s actually a bit less minty – have a look at the photos on this blog. I would say that the real life colour is half way between my photos and these ones!
The only downside for me is that it looks very patchy after one coat (I often try and get away with just one coat!). You need at least two coats for the colour to be opaque – on some of my nails I had to use three coats. This is my first Nubar colour, all the others I’ve tried have been top coats. Has anyone else tried any Nubar polishes and have you found them patchy?!
