Nubar Spring Garden Collection: Part 2
Nubar Spring Garden Collection ($7.49 for 0.50 fl. oz., each) includes eight color shades, plus a glitter top coat (which I will review tomorrow, separately from the colors). This post features: Pink Lily (vibrant pink creme), Purple Aster (dusty pastel purple), White Peony (ivory creme), and Yellow Primrose (delicate pale yellow).
- Pink Lily is a soft, pale pastel pink with faint white micro-shimmer. Two coats. It’s a little lighter than China Glaze Something Sweet.
- Purple Aster is a warmed, pastel purple cream with faint white micro-shimmer. Two coats. It’s subtly warmer than China Glaze Light As Air.
- White Peony is a soft, warmed ivory with faint white micro-shimmer. I used two coats and there was very slight visible nail line but it was nearly opaque. It’s a little whiter than Essie Marshmallow.
- Yellow Primrose is a warmed, pale, pastel butter yellow with faint white micro-shimmer. Two coats. I can’t think of a dupe for this shade.
my thoughts on the formula: The formula on these was a little thicker than I expected, but it was also quite pigmented. They applied smoothly, without bubbling, and two coats was perfect for opaque color on all four shades. I typically get a week of wear with Nubar’s polishes.

I stay away from pastels and garden-themed things. Usually. Yellow Primrose got my attention. I can’t think of a dupe either. What a total gem. (Even if there IS a dupe, it’s still a gorgeous color!)
It’s a nice way to go yellow without going NEON!
The Yellow Primrose one looks like Illamasqua’s polish called Load.
None of these really catch my eye. Pretty but doesnt’ stand out.
I like Yellow Primose, it’s yellow without being in your face.
I wonder how close Yellow Primrose is to Illamasqua Load
I really like all of these colors. If I’m not careful I might buy the whole collection!!!
purple is really pretty
I’m liking Purple Aster!
*yawn*
I kinda liked Blue Hydrangia in the other part, but over all these colors all seem quite…ordinary. I’m kinda disappointed, because I thought this might be the collection to motivate me to finally try them!
Thank you for the swathes, Christine.
