Taffata - Brownish pink creme. When I was wearing this it made me think that this would be what it would look like if you mixed chocolate milk and strawberry milk.
Marabout - This is a dark gray-brown creme. Really interesting and stylish. It reminds me of mud which I know doesn't sound stylish but that is the kind of colors I like.
Chiffon - This is just like Marabout but lighter. Lighter mud. Nice, but I wore this right after Marabout and really didn't feel like I changed my polish.
Organza - This is a shimmery, sheer white. Not bad alone, but if you don't like sheers I'd say to layer this. This is three coats.
Moire - Light, soft tan creme with a hint of pink. Delicate and pretty.
Charmeuse - Mauve creme. Not a boring mauve; it's bright and bold. I like this. And the formula! All of these have a nice formula but this one was especially nice.
Pekin - Bright red creme. Nice, bold, smooth and sexy.
Sateen - Dark red, blood creme.These are beautiful shades and I greatly appreciate colors like this being a working professional for when I can't wear my usual blues, greens and glitters. I really enjoy adding shades like this to my collection because I am so used to unusual shades being my norm, that these feel outrageous! But my gripe with this collection is that I feel like there are too many repeats! I like these shades for their sophistication but I don't want the same ones over and over. For example, Marabout and Chiffon really seemed like the same color to me. But anyway, they are nice and beautiful and have a fantastic formula.
Nubar Finest Silks is available now on bynubar.com and retail for $7.49 per bottle or $49.95 for the entire collection.

I have a love/hate relationship with this collection. I do think they are pretty, but I'm with you...too many similarities. I like that they are muted...and the pinked browns are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThey look nice but not my type of shades. This collection is perfect for the creme and muted shade lover.
ReplyDeletethese are not my kind of colors at all. it doesn't help that these colors repeat themself..
ReplyDeletethough, i do need some work appropriate shades- i think i would have preffered some off pinks or something.browns and mauves do nothing for my brown skin.
