Dark Wash Jeans is a dark blue polish which again was opaque in 2 coats.  Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and no top coat.




And again here is the above mani with the Polka Dot Collection layered on top, pointer 1 coat of Polka Dot White, middle Polka Dot Black and ring have both, all with 1 coat of the Shield to finish.




Hope you have enjoyed my Jeans Collection and thank you for looking <3 xx

Nubar Jeans Collection - Boyfriend (Polka Dot) Jeans

Today I have for you the second polish from the Nubar Jeans Collection, Boyfriend Jeans.  You can see Faded Jeans here, and Darkwash Jeans will be coming up soon.

It is a mid blue colour, kind of dusty looking, I really liked this one too.  It was easy to apply and opaque in 2 coats.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Boyfriend and no top coat.




Again I used the Polka Dot collection layered over Boyfriend Jeans.  On the pointer we have 1 layer of Polka Dot White, on the middle we have 1 layer of Polka Dot Black and on the ring we have 1 layer of each, and then one coat of the Shield over all.




I liked this one with the Dots over it, as the blue is very mid toned both sets of Dots show up very well.

Nubar Jeans Collection - Faded (Polka Dot) Jeans

Today I have for you the first polish from the Nubar Jeans Collection, Faded Jeans.

I was originally just going to do a post with all 3 of the Jeans polishes but decided each one deserved its own and it gave me an excuse to use my Polka Dot polishes again......

I think Faded is my favourite of the Jeans, it is a gorgeous pale, icy looking blue which also has a subtle light blue shimmer running through it, I wish all 3 of the Jeans had this shimmer as it is what really makes Faded the standout of the collection.

First I will show you Faded alone.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and no top coat.




Then I used the Polka Dot collection, also by Nubar, you can see these over black and white here but here I have layered them over Faded Jeans.

On the pointer we have 1 layer of Polka Dot White, on the middle we have 1 layer of Polka Dot Black and on the ring we have 1 layer of each, and then one coat of the Shield over all.




White did not show up very well on Faded, but I really liked it with the Black and there is something I absolutely love about wearing both together.

I will get the others from the Jeans Collection up shortly so you can decide about which you like best.  Thanks for looking <3

Nubar Polka Dot Collection

I have for you all today, the Nubar Polka Dot collection.

This collection consists of 2 polishes - Polka Dot Black which has a clear base with large black hexagonal glitter and smaller black hexagonal glitter and Polka Dot White which also has a clear base and large white hexagons and smaller almost holographic hexagons.  Application was fairly easy, although some of the larger dots did require slight repositioning with the brush to spread over the nail fully.

I decided to try these firstly over black and white polishes to get a monochrome effect.

So first here is Polka Dot Black.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Nails Inc Floral Street, 1 coat of the Polka Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.




Next we have Polka Dot White.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of a-england Camelot, 1 of the Polka Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.




Then I went a little bit layer happy and decided to try something else out.  I wanted to try both dots over a grey, I needed a mid toned grey so both sets of dots would show up, so I chose Nails Inc London Sky.

So here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 coats of London Sky, 1 coat of the Black Dots, 1 coat of the White Dots and 1 coat of the Shield.  Whew, thats a whole lot of layers!





I love these Polka Dot polishes!! I cannot wait to try them over all sorts of different colours to see what they look like.

What do you think of this collection?  Will you be picking any up?

Thanks for looking as always <3
