Nubar Night Sky Collection Review, Photos, Swatches Reviews 5/26/10May 26, 2010 It’s a Matte, but Shimmered… Night Sky!Nubar Night Sky Collection ($24.95) is a short ‘n sweet collection featuring three shimmer mattes and their Diamont Seal & Shine Quick Dry Top Coat.Midnight is a deep charcoal-black with silver-gray shimmer. Two coats were enough for me to get complete, opaque color.Twilight is a bright silver-gray with silver and darker silver shimmer. Again, just two coats here.Sunset is a gold shimmered amber-copper base. Like the other two, I found two coats were the right mix for opaque color. I really liked this one with the Diamont top coat.The formula was fantastic — they dry quicker than the regular polish, but I had enough time to lay down a coat and move onto the next without it drying before then. They were also really opaque with each only needing two coats to cover my entire nail completely. The consistency was on the thinner side, so it was easy to apply and get the amount you needed. The colors themselves are a bit basic, but I’ll be crossing my fingers they’ll release some other shades down the road.If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ! 🙂Product: 29/30Value: 8/10Ease of Use: 4/5Packaging: 4/5Recommendation: If you love the idea of a matte finish with shimmer, Nubar’s Night Sky Collection is right up your alley.Availability: Nubar Nubar Midnight Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Midnight Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Midnight Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Midnight Nail Lacquer with Diamont (Natural Light) Nubar Midnight Nail Lacquer (Flash) Nubar Midnight Nail Lacquer with Diamont (Flash) Nubar Twilight Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Twilight Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Twilight Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Twilight Nail Lacquer with Diamont (Natural Light) Nubar Twilight Nail Lacquer (Flash) Nubar Twilight Nail Lacquer with Diamont (Flash) Nubar Sunset Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Sunset Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Sunset Nail Lacquer (Natural Light) Nubar Sunset Nail Lacquer with Diamont (Natural Light) Nubar Sunset Nail Lacquer (Flash) Nubar Sunset Nail Lacquer with Diamont (Flash)

Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I never bought the OPI Suedes 🙁
HebrideanSpriteDoes anyone know where I can get this brand in Canada? (Or a website that’ll ship to Canada reasonably?)
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Kind of, but Originality has such a different finish/texture – nearly metallic. http://www.temptalia.com/mac-pret-a-papier-collection-nail-lacquer-review-photos-swatches
scarletthollythese are really pretty, but they remind me of the orly collection that came out last fall – it had matte shimmer finishes as well. I picked up an amazing one – glam rock – that looks like midnight from nubar
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Yeah, both Orly and Zoya have similar (not 100% the same, but similar) shades, but I really like the formula on the Nubar ones a lil’ more – so I do hope they release some new, unseen shades!
HannahI’m going to have to pick up Midnight because it looks so much like Chanel Noir Ceramic (which was introduced in like 2007, I believe it was LE, and my bottle is running low) but with more shimmer.
HappyVery nice. Thanks for sharing. But ever since I heard of CND’s shellac mani I cant think of any other polish…
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Have you had one yet?
HappyNot yet but soon. My plan is to have a pro do it first then If I like it buy it for home use. how about you? is that getting a shellac mani for you?
LaiaLOVE LOVE LOVE these!!! Do you know if they’re available in Sephora? I might go there in 2 days and it’s time to indulge myself a bit!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks, Laia! I don’t think so – I got mine from bynubar.com.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Here’s Studded — http://www.temptalia.com/mac-riveting-collection-nail-lacquer-review-photos-swatchesThey are close. I’d say Twilight is a little closer to silver than Studded is.
Michelle MacDonaldI’ve never heard of this brand before, but I love that color “Midnight!” It’s a fun twist on basic black, which is what I usually wear. I just might have to try it out 🙂
StephNice! I wonder how Midnight compares to the black polish in Alice + Olivia. Also, Twilight reminds me of MAC Studded…
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I’d say it’s a lil’ darker and more shimmered than Studded.
lindaI think I’ll be lemming midnight now… How is the wear though? for example OPI suede has terrible wear. On me it starts to chip on the second day or so.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »No issues here! It lasted about three or four days for me, without any top coat.
