This is Nubar Baby Blue, two coats (actually some nails in my other hand have up to five coats, but I just messed up my manicure). I photographed this in late evening light to emphasize the weird, glowing shade of pale blue. This shade really pops even the slightest tan and looks very clean and sober in a futuristic way... ...a great summer shade!
The application was not nice, the consistency was very runny and the first coat really streaky. Somehow the second coat attaches really well on top of the first one and at least the color gets even relatively easy. But cleaning the cuticles was a huge job, the thin polish just runs around the whole rim of the nail bed. I'm definitely getting some vaseline just for protecting the cuticles.

Nubar Cuticle Oil is excellent stuff! It smoothed my dried out cuticles after this pastel bleed project in a snap. Sweet Almond scent is quite bad though, pick one of the fruity ones instead.

ReplyDeleteI love this kind of colors and blue and I are very very friendly! is very well made, perfect:)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty blue. Shame there's such problems with it. I love Nubar's pastel creme polishes. I'll have to try this that trick.
ReplyDeleteApua miten ihana kuva taas! Miten ootkin saanut mätsättyä taustan täysin kynsiin...! Lakkakin on söpö.
ReplyDeleteThe color is great. The photography skill is amazing! Great blog you have here!
ReplyDeleteThank U all for your nice comments! I really enjoy photographing these - the process itself is pretty easy, the lightinc conditions need some thought, though.
ReplyDeleteInkivääri: kiitos! Taustan sininen on oikeastaan illan sinisen hetken sinistä, oikeasti taustan ikkunanpielet ovat maalarinvalkoiset. Yllättävän paljon tykkään itsekin tästä pastellinsinisestä! Lisäsin muuten hienon Karkkipäivän tuonne luettujen listalle, vaikka sinulla on paljon muutakin kuin kynsijuttuja.
Ihana kuva ja kaunis lakka! Tykkään kynsikuvistasi todella paljon :)
ReplyDeleteKiitos, Nea - tulipa hyvä mieli kommentistasi!
