Hello ladies,
Today I am wearing Nubar Violet Sparkle. The mention of violets always make me wistful for the Victorian era. I could imagine a man bringing me a nosegay with violets and roses intertwined.
With lavender pearls, I accented the fan design from Konad plate M54 to communicate the sense of nostalgia for past eras. The stamping was done with princess polish in light gray. Despite the name, the color has a strong lavender tint. I love the blend of old fashioned decorative elements with the modern look of glitter.
Nubar creates their collections thematically. I can find variance in formula amidst the colors though they are grouped as a concept. It's interesting to me how the colors can appear similarly on the nail, but have different application. Violet Sparkle has tiny glitter pieces in a clear base. I painted three coats, but I think two would be sufficient for most people. I found Violet Sparkle to be smooth enough after one layer of topcoat. I would advise applying these slowly to avoid the need for much cleanup. If you have some stray glitter on your skin, you can use a piece of tape to capture it. I forgot to use this technique before picture taking, but it does work well.
I really love Violet Sparkle. I am pleased Nubar sent this to me for review. The Nubar Sparkles collection will be available January 31st at bynubar.com.
Happy painting, ladies!
