Hello ladies,
I am presenting the treasure of the Nubar Fortess Collection, Knight's Armor. This polish is stunning. Silver glitter squares are densely fitted into a black jelly base. Knight's Armor looks like jewelry for a rock star. With a matte top coat, the glitter becomes the shade of minerals or brushed steel. All of the glamour transforms into granite. I am rather fascinated by the shift from high gloss to matte.
It's worth the click to see the enlarged details.
Knight's Armor was opaque in two coats and east to apply. When I was painting the first coat, the silver pieces reminded me of the craft glitter I used for childhood art projects. The memory made application even more enjoyable. I am truly excited about this polish! Knight's Sparkle will certainly be returning for funky french looks and nail art variations. This shade has such versatility and promise. I recommend it highly.
Knight's Armor is part of the Nubar Fortress Collection, currently available for purchase at bynubar.com. The bottle pictured was sent to me for review.
I was curious to see how a matte topcoat would alter Knight's Armor. For this experiment, I used ManGlaze Matte-Astrophe. I wore the polish with high shine for several hours and then painted one coat of Matte-Astrophe. I was impressed at how strong of a matte finish was produced. This is not a satin finish. It's a true matte. ManGlaze recommends using their topcoat over dry polish to prevent cracking. I am curious to apply Matte-Astrophe over wet polish to see if I could produce a lasting crackle effect.
ManGlaze Matte-Astrophe was sent to me for review. It's available for purchase from manglaze.com. For a chance to win Matte-Astrophe, Hot Mess glitter topcoat and Matte is Murder black polish, please visit the contest post and enter before the end of the day March 8th.
Happy painting, ladies!
