SWATCH SUNDAY — Nubar Prize

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a lovely, relaxing, beautiful start to their week!

I’ve been trying to figure out what shade to share for this week’s Swatch Sunday. I’m definitely finding myself being drawn towards darker shades, but I took a poll on my insta-stories, & the winning vote was to keep things Summer-y. So I dug deep into my stash, & pulled out an oldie but a goodie: Nubar Prize.

Anyone else crave holo during the sunshine-y days of Summer? I definitely grab from my stash of holo more so in the Summer, especially July/August, because that’s when you see the sun most often.

Nubar Prize is a pink jelly polish choked full of scattered holo glitter. Sadly, Nubar no longer exists or makes this shade, so this polish is definitely a special one to me. The base is so bright, & the holo sparkles from every angle.

2 coats + top coat

Surprisingly, for a shade that is jelly like this, you can get fantastic opacity in 2 coats with no visibly nail line, or need for undies. & just look at all that glitter! There is no inch of the nail that doesn’t sparkle. It really makes me wish I had a back up bottle of this shade… or a good dupe! Let me know in the comments if you know any good dupes first this shade!

What do you think of Nubar Prize? Do you have a favourite holo shade? Let me know down in the comments below!

  1. This is gorgeous ❤ I wore it and blogged it recently too, though I didn't put a top coat on! I do miss Nubar, I got that whole set years back! Cost a fortune to ship to Scotland!!!!

  2. I am so sad Nubar is discontinued, used to be one of my favorite brands back in the day when shipping from USA was also quite cheap and they had no problem with shipping polishes. I was usually able to get the pretty cheap when they were from older collections, on sale. I have way too few of them for my liking and as you I would have liked to have some backups because some of them are gorgeous, their holos are the best. Nubar Reclaim from the Going Green Collection is my absolute favorite of all time holo. Does anybody know what happened to them? I searched internet but came with no answer, only that they dont sell anymore.
