Nubar Enchanting Red... Hello Reds!!

This is Nubar Enchanting Red... and very nice it is too.

I needed a dark(ish) red 'enchanting' enough to convince me to wear it,

so I this is where I decided to begin.

I'm not all that fond of dark colours but I have seen the light, as it were, I am converted! Think I've probably got a few more to try in the depths of my collection...
Back to the point, here it is!

This is two coats of Enchanting Red with Seche Vite top coat.

I love Nubar, even the colours which can easily miss-behave (I'm looking at you Pale Yellow) Nubar seems to be able to manage with ease.

Enchanting Red looks darker in the bottle than on the nail, but you will not be disappointed. The colour appears slightly darker on the curves of your nail, but not blackened. The pearly sheen really makes it stand out.

I wore the polish for 4 days before any chippy-ness occurred.

Water marbling - My first attempt

Now you have probably seen the YouTube clips and thought can I REALLY be bothered to make THAT much mess... well I'm glad I did!

The base colour is China Glaze Style Wars with China Glaze Happy Go Lucky and GOSH Hot Coral marbled over it.

Watch the link (at the top) to see how its done but basically you drip little drops of nail polish into the centre of a cup of water until you form circles.

Draw a little pattern, lightly, with an orange stick.

Dip your finger in (one or two at a time) and hey presto... your done!!

You have to tape around your fingers before hand to stop TOO much going on your skin, Scotch tape is the best thing I've tried.

If you get a lot of polish on your skin, wait for your nails to dry completely then soak your hands in water for a minute or two and just rub the excess polish off.

Much nicer for your skin than nail polish remover.

When you are picking colours to marble together the most complementary will be the ones opposite or next to each other on the colour wheel.

I really cant wait to try more!!
