Nubar 2010: Layer 'til Your Heart's Content
Nubar 2010: Layer ’til Your Heart’s Content
Nubar 2010 ($7.49) is a clear base with glitter flakies suspended in the thick, colorless base. The flakes are different sizes, and it’s definitely something designed to be worn on top of your favorite polishes rather than alone (but no worries, I showed it alone, as well). It flashes a greenish-gold, fiery-gold, orange, and green, depending on how the light hits it and how much you use. I just used one coat of Nubar 2010 over two coats of other polishes. I picked polishes with cream finishes, rather than shimmery ones, and other than that, I just grabbed ones nearest to me. It’s easy to use, as it applies smoothly while dispersing the flakies pretty evenly without trouble!

I love this!
They look like the same particles in Mac’s superglass!
I love Nubar polishes! GOSH also has a polish like this (which I have), and Inglot has several similar polishes to 2010.
looks very similar to GOSH rainbow which I already have so I may pass on this one =)
I love when you do nail polish posts! The more the better!
the turquoise looks amazing! =]
It reminds me of the GOSH nailpolish I tested on Sunday, it’s called Rainbow someting and looks almost identical. I’m still sporting it on my thumb and I think I will get it next time I go shopping. 🙂
CUTE! It’s like superglass for your nails 😀
Another cool thing I found with the flaky polishes, plop on a matte top coat and it looks so pretty! My friend said I had dinosaur egg fingers 😀
I LOVE Nubar nail polish, I have many Nubar products This will be my next purchase
Gorgeous! I think it’s more obvious when layered over a dark varnish
Now I’ll have to find Nubar in the Netherlands haha
Wow, loving this polish! So cool! I love it best over Sparitual Dreams Becoming Reality – is this a new shade?
Yep, it’s from their Summer collection!
This is really similar to sally hansen’s hidden treasure! love it!
I just wish the shipping costs weren’t so insane for just a bottle or two 🙁
Oh I love it! Where can I get this?
The link is in the post, but http://www.bynubar.com 🙂
I love the effect on your ring finger best – the orange “flakies” (that made me smile reading it haha) show up really prettily against the dark bluish colour :]
I like the look but already have sally hansen hidden treasure so don’t need Nubar as well 🙂
Ahh! I love this, especially over the pink! Kind of reminds me of the superglasses.
I have to have this!!! Where can you get this in the U.S.? Nubar’s website says “under construction” in the U.S. Distributors tab.
I bought mine online at @ http://www.bynubar.com.
I found it at Walgreens! Yeah! I have it over a peachy color and it’s beautiful. I also tried it over a deep blue on my toes and it looks completely different, but still pretty.
I want this. I might have to cave on it since I can’t find Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure!
How does this compare to Chanel Illusion d’Or?
It doesn’t – Illusion d’Or doesn’t have flakies or a reflective quality – it’s more of a gold and purple shimmer in a jelly base.
Yay!!!! I have been wanting to get this polish with flakies, I layer everything, I can’t wear just one polish at a time… Thanks for the beautiful swatches….I kinda hoped that the MAC Superglasses had a finish with the flakies similar to this but of course for the lips.
Definitely reminds me of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure; how would you say it compares to that?
I don’t have it, sorry!
Well, that’s pretty rad. I especially like how it looks on the blue polish.
oh the flakes really show with dark nailpolish… that’s pretty
I love sheer flake nail polishes! <3
a good dupe is sally hansen’s hidden treasure for around $8.
This is around 7-8 dollars. It’s just shipping and handling that make it more expensive, but to drive out and find hidden treasure isn’t easy either. The gas money is probably just slightly less than the s&h in this case.
Is it just me or is this ridiculously similar to Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure??
I don’t have it to compare, but they look similar!
Wow, this really reminds me of a nail polish version of MAC’s superglass!
seriously stunning!
hmm those swatches on your nails remind me so much of macs new superglass lipgloss. luv it!
just ordered it! and pasadena purple…which is so pretty. 🙂 thanks!
wow. so beautiful. i love it over that deep teal/green color. i’m such a sucker for iridescent glittery stuff
pretty, this reminds me of nfu oh polishes more than anything
This post convinced me to go and buy it! I layered it over For Audrey by China Glaze. It’s very pretty! Not as BAM! as a darker nail polish, but a subtle difference that catches people’s eye.
YAY! I’m so glad you like it!! 🙂
And re: shipping — yep, shipping on nail polish is $$ — what I always do is just make a larger order, so it’s not SO terrible (e.g. paying shipping on *one* bottle is painful!).
I agree! I wish shipping was a bit more reasonable because I sometimes don’t have all the nail polishes I want in mind. I try ebay a lot which surprisingly works out pretty well. Faster shipping and price is pretty reasonable, it’s just not as safe. D: everything has it’s draw backs.
Oh got so many comments on my nails. My favorite one: Ohhh you’re nails look like sparkly teal dino eggs. XD Thanks for doing this post!
Aww! 😀
I just bought the Sally Hansen Hidden Treasures. I tried it on different polishes, and found it works best with white and blue.
Cute hue!It looks like a mermaid’s leather, like fishy flakes! Cool
Absolutely loveee Nubar 2010. I bought mine off of amazon and it was little over 7 WITH shipping!
It looks lovely paired with the polish on your ring finger. Like an opal.
I have this on today over Orly Lemonade. It’s so cool!
i got it last week!!
it’s amazing!!!
i’m wearing it right now!!
for me have more blue/green refelcts
i’m in love LOL
such an amazing polish!! very unic (it’s kind of hard find a polish with this finish)
