NOTD - Nubar 2010 Glitter Top Coat

Nubar

Back to glitter nails today! My lovely Beauty Bay order arrived with the fabulous Nubar 2010 Glitter top coat and I had to try it out to see how it looked. 

Now this definitely is love. I have so many glitter nail polishes but nothing like this at all in my collection and for £5.50 I think the polishes is definitely worth it and I am so glad I decided to finally get it. 
 
Of course I am so impressed with how this looks when it catches the light.. just so beautiful. But what really impressed me was how densely packed this is as I literally just have one coat of the polish on my nails here applied over Orly Black Out and  it also applied so evenly - you can really see the quality. Plus also how smooth the finish is... not at all like a glitter nail polish.

When I placed my order for the nail polish I had in my head that I needed to try this with a matte top coat as I was sure it would make the holographic flakes look amazing and I think I was right. Just look at how unusual this looks, it just reminds me of when you get that amazing glow from an oval. Just perfect. 

 I am now dying to try this over other shades and I also want to see what this looks like built up more with a few coats so it's more opaque (if it is possible). I'm also thinking the polish would look great just on the tips of the nails like a french manicure over black polish and made matte.
 
You can find the Nubar 2010 nail polish on the Beauty Bay website for £5.50 - here.

I guess that is what I love about top coats... they are just so versatile and you can actually do so many different things with them. Up until now I had never tried Nubar but this has definitely got me wanting to google more nail polishes by them to see different swatches as this is just amazing quality and is so unique looking. 
 
For me £5.50 definitely well spent as I know I am going to get a lot of use out of this polish! 

Fee xo.

2010 isn't a glitter topcoat, it's what they call a 'flakie' top coat. There's LOADS of them about when you look! :-)

Oh I know it's not but that is what it is classed as on the Beauty Bay website. I was having a look on a nail site the otther day at a range of flakie top coats that looked amazing but sadly they aren't available in the UK tsk!

Ahh I see! Inglot do some really nice flakies and they have an online store now, but the bottles are SO tiny!
2010 is actually a perfect dupe for GOSH Rainbow which was discontinued a couple of years ago so it's a godsend really :-) x
ahhh yes and only 50p more! I am so glad I decided to get it. Think I will have to look at the Ignlot ones now or hunt some down on eBay.

Hey, you should have a look in your local superdrug. Look magazine have a make up range and part of it is 'pop nails', they have two gorgeous flakies as part of their range. One is called Sequin Effect, and they other is Pearl effect (which is a dupe for nails inc It Girl, which was part of the two piece Serena Gossip Girl collection).
Oh thanks for this Hannah, will have a look for them!

I LOVE this! Its by far mr fav of your nail looks, I really have to get this!

Don't forget to check me out :-) http://thesecretblogger-2011.blogspot.com/
Gorgeousness Fi! Love it with the matte topcoat. I'm a massive Nubar fan - you must try more of their colours - great prices on Beauty Bay too. x
It's so // beautiful!
It looks just like the Andrea Fullerton flakie top coat. I think that retails in Superdrug for about £4.99 but im not sure.

I will have to try it with a matte over the top. It's STUNNING over a red. So opulent.
Looks so nice! :)
Money very well spent, so tempted to get it myself. Why do you do this to me Fee! Model's own top coat looks really impressive x
simply gorgeous! deffo worth the price even though it was not even too expensive xx
OMG I'm totally getting that! I have been looking for this polish everywhere! I have a matt top coat too! that's a great idea to try out!

Love it. Prefer flakies way more than normal glitter! Do want!
*gaaaaaasp!* flakie gorgeousness!!!!! I want a flakie polish so bad but had no luck finding any! But I picked up what looks like it MIGHT be one from Andrea Fullerton in Superdrug yesterday...can't wait to try & see!!

Love Aysh xoxo
There is a fantastic flakie by Sally Hansen called "Treasure Hunt" It looks exactly like this one, many bloggers have done comparisons with the Nubar one and the Sally Hansen :) x
