Nubar Purple Beach

         Firstly, I'd like to take a quick minute to say hello to all the new followers! There are now over 300 of you, which is like...flabbergasting, man. So thanks for coming to my little corner of the interwebz! n_n 
Okey doke, now down to business, which today is Nubar Purple Beach.

Purple Beach is a wildly multichromatic purple polish. It shows a smokey shade of purple mostly, but you'll also get gold, silver, bronze, a hint of blue, and a couple of shades of green. Yeah, this is serious business.

       I'm not going to say much about Purple Beach. Although the pictures don't really do the polish justice, hopefully, they give you a good idea about what a fabulous color this is. The duochrome shift is so obvious without the need for finger cirque du soleil or magical lighting, and even the base purple color has this lovely hazy, nebulous quality to it. Nubar did a fantastic job here. 
     Purple Beach's formula was a bit thin but not uncontrollable and the pigmentation was okay. I used three coats of color and a layer of topcoat for full opacity and some shine. 

And that's all for today! Thank you for reading and have a most beautiful day! ^_^

Isn't this color amazing. Nubar really knows how to do a duochrome. I wish they'd come out with more (ala Ozotic Pro)

Really like the duochromeness of it. How close to Zoya Ki is it? Looks pretty similar.

I agree with Natalie, it reminds me of NLTM, which I hated on me, but I LOVE this on you (again with the similar skin tone thing), so I might have to try NLTM again. This has a better duochrome, you're right, and also NLTM has fine microglitter which probably affects the way it looks too.
