Nubar Reclaim

Hey all, it's Super Saturday! Well, it's Saturday and that's pretty super good in my book :) I had a mani yesterday completly go to to pot. How, you ask. Well, I did 2 coats of a base color and 2 coats of the quite transparent color with flecks in it and popped my Seche on top. The next day there were pits where the flecks were! It was pitty and bumpy and bleh looking. I was so not going to photograph that, Sorry about that. I had no energy after my 10 hour shift to try again! So, today I have picked a happy color that I have had in my Helmer for a while but never tried, Nubar Reclaim. Gosh, why have I not tried it before?? Reclaim is a gorgeous holo green and I love, love, love it!

 Did someone say rainbows?

Nubar Reclaim is so much better on than in the bottle. The bottle is a little bit darker and flat. On the nail it's such a lovely green with holo effect. The holo wasn't super strong but I will say there is no sun here to try and amp it up. Having said that, in natural light there is still a holo effect so at least you don't have to rely on the sun to make it pop. I think this color really suits my skin tone....some greens can make it look like you have gangrene fingers! LOL. I used one coat of Reclaim, could have used 2 for less chipping long term but it wasn't needed for opacity. Seche disappointed me on this one with the tip shrinkage, but I still loved it anyways!

Do you have any Nubars? Would you wear green, do you like or hate it?
