Stashed (4): ulta3, Australis, OPI, CND

Hi, everyone. I have a really big haul to share with you this week. I did a swap with Mandee from The Bookish Manicurist recently and my package just came this week. Mandee lives in Australia and I was moaning about the fact that the new Ulta3 Glitterati collection was only available in Australia when Mandee generously offered to do a swap with me. She threw in some other brands as well and I am excited to try them all. :) I also made a beauty supply run last weekend and picked up a few polishes as well as the new CND Vinylux system. Full review to come but I've been wearing it for a whole week now and it looks great, but I am dying to change my polish and my nails are getting super long. I'll be glad to take it off tomorrow.

I am too tired right now to list the names of all of these polishes. You can see the Ulta3 names on the front of the bottle (which I love). If there's anything else you want to know the name of, just let me know in the comments below and I'll get back to you. Happy Sunday!

Nubar Indigo Illusion

Hello and happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. Today I have another Nubar duochrome for you. This one is Indigo Illusion, and I don't really know how to describe it. It's a grey-ish blue with pink and purple flashes. I really have no idea how to describe this color except to say that it's pretty awesome. The formula was a little watery but it only took me 2 coats for the swatches below. This does have a tendency to be a little brush stroke-y so be careful if you don't like brush strokes.

This is a really unique shade and I don't think I have anything like it. I think Indigo Illusion might still be available on the Nubar website. If you like duochromes, this is definitely a fun one to have. Thanks for coming by!

Nubar Wildlife

Hello, Monday. You always come back even though I don't always want you to. :) I hope everyone is having a good day so far. I had a really nice, relaxing weekend and even got to see Iron Man 3, which was highly entertaining. Today I have a fun polish to show you all. This is Nubar Wildlife, a really great green/gold duochrome. Nubar has a bunch of really awesome duochrome colors and I was lucky to pick this one and a few others up at a local beauty supply a while back. The color shift is quite apparent and it only took 2 coats to get what you see below.

As you can see, the main color is a very pretty burnish gold/copper with a green color shift. You can really see the green at the edges of my nails. I am a fan of Nubar. I only wish their polishes were a little easier to find. I am still on the lookout for the sold out Peacock Feathers. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
