Nubar "Iced Licorice"

i was thrilled to receive this in a swap since it's been a lemming of mine since i saw it on some other blogs. it's the first Nubar polish i've ever owned. i'm in love with it. the grey-purple is beautiful and the copper-gold shimmer matches my skin tone well. the foil finish is fabulous. it took three coats to be opaque but it dried well. i remembered to wrap my tips this time but i've already got a chip on the edge of my left middle fingernail :( i only painted them last night. could be a fluke.

i haven't photographed the last two manicures i've done (Sally Hansen Complete Salon "Ring My Shell" and Rimmel "Climax"), but i assure you they were gorgeous...
