Nubar ~ Fire Sparkle


Nubar ~ Fire Sparkle
A Christmas red with micro and medium sized red glitter

This reminds in many ways of “Ring in the Red” is from China Glaze. It’s Christmas red, it’s glittery and it’s sparkly. But there are differences, though.

The Nubar is a more “delicious” polish to apply. It’s smooth, both when you apply it and when it’s actually on the nail. Much smoother than China Glaze.

Here’s three coats and a layer of Poshé top coat: 



It’s not as “wild” as Ring in the Red, it’s more sophisticated in a way. I can’t describe it any other way than that. It’s beautiful! Although having said that,
I don’t really prefer one over the other. They’re both good polishes!

I was up for something more, so I stamped the nails with the heart design from Bundle Monster’s BM03. 



I stamped with Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri in the dark green “Jumpin’ Jade”. That turned out looking black on the red glitter (I probably should have guessed), but I quite like it anyway.


Opacity: 8/10

Value for money: 9/10

  4. I'm happy that my stamping is improving just a little bit - so the design looked somewhat clearer than last time. :)
