Nubar Jellybeans Collection

Hi there and hello my friends :) I have another Spring collection to show you today, the bright and vibrant Nubar Jellybeans collection. It includes 8 polishes inspired by those yummy treats we find in Easter baskets this time of year.

First is Strawberry, a delicious milky pink. Very pretty and I like it very much. It reminds me of strawberry milk, yum!

Next is Grape, a medium purple glossy lacquer. The texture of this one was weird, runny but thick and not really a jelly but not a crème. I used three coats and it was still rather translucent.

My least favorite of the collection, Toasted Marshmallow, is a shiny light caramel brown. I feel like this color is very out of place with the rest of these. This is three coats.

Here is Blue Raspberry, a gorgeous milky turquoise blue. This formula was thin but I got it mostly opaque in three coats. I love this color.

And this is Lemon, a super bright cornpop yellow. This one is nicely opaque and shiny in two coats. I found myself smiling when wearing it. It's a very "happy" color!

Blueberry is a vivid bright medium blue. It's got a nice jelly crème finish and dries very shiny. This is three coats.

Kiwi is a flavor of jellybean that I've never come across in a snack bag haha, but this color is truly fun. It's a milky pastel green jelly that has nice yellow tones. I don't have another polish quite the same color, which is nice. This is three coats.

Last is Cherry, an opaque squishy dusty red with orange tones. I don't really feel this is a true "cherry" red, but it is pretty. This is three coats.

You can get these on www.bynubar.com as a set for $64 or individually for $8 each. Hope you enjoyed this review everyone!

  3. They are pretty and sure the formula is great as I typically love Nubar formulas. But face it's we have seen these shades - nothing new. But of late I have decided that is not a bad thing. Older polishes go bad in time. We get new collectors all the time. We get folks who's tastes change who now wear these kind of shades and maybe only wore reds and mauves a few yrs ago. So repeating colors that are elsewhere is OK for the most part. It's finding a formula that works well for you that is really important.

  5. Hi Kellie! :-) I'm loving these. Well, not toasted marshmallow very much (which is unfortunate because I devour marshmallows haha), though I could see it looking amazing on a very dark-skinned person.

    I'm also loving the yellow. I really don't have any yellow polishes - they all seem very chalky to me. I may have to give this one a try! Unless you or anyone else knows of an amazing squishy yellow jelly? :-)

    Like Beachgal said, nothing new but that's sometimes ok. With stashes like many of us addicts have, stuff goes bad (some even Seche restore can't help!), or tastes change (I've never been an orange or coral fan and I am just inhaling all I can find in polish and lip colour right now) so there is always something for everyone, and let's face it, businesses gotta do that to stay in business usually.
