Adorned Nails: Nubar Reclaim

First, I have three things to say:

1. This is my first bottle of Nubar nail polish.
2. It's a heart-thumping green.
3. It's also a jaw-dropping holo.

Those are all noteworthy points but that's not quite why I'm making a big fuss over this. The main reason is that I received this from a very sweet reader of mine who goes by an equally sugar-filled name of Lolipop.

If you follow my writings, you will know that I sometimes surprise an unsuspecting reader of Witoxicity with a gift - an exact item that I feature in a blog post. In these surprise giveaways, the winners are always chosen amongst those readers who leave comments under the relevant posts. The items won so far have been nail polishes but who's to say that I won't include other types of makeup items in the future.

Back in April, Lolipop was the surprise winner of a bottle of Teeez Smooth, a gorgeous pink holo polish. She was so pleased that she decided to get me something in return. Well, that in itself was a real surprise to me as I never expected anything back. I appreciate my readers and all the support that they've given me and doing these little giveaways (announced and unannounced) is my way to show my thanks.

The thing is, Lolipop went through a lot of trouble getting this bottle of Nubar polish for me, chief of which was due to misinformation by the inept postal staff there. I won't go into the details but by golly, it makes this bottle of polish even more precious!

So, Lolipop, I've said it before and I will say it again: Thank you so much for your gift and for your thoughtfulness! This Adorned Nails post is specially for you.

I've got on here three coats of Reclaim (applied on top of GOSH Fix Base Coat). It applied well and as you will see, it's an extrovert holographic polish. I thought it was almost too eager to show its holo-ness even away from direct sunlight (but with good enough lighting, of course). Minus the holo, it looks like this, a jade-like dirty-ish green which reminds me of the crème KOH Meditate.

Nubar describes Reclaim as a medium holographic green. I believe it comes from their Going Green Collection.

I will now let the customary I'm-so-chuffed-about-my-holo-that-I-must show-you-my-nails-from-every-single-angle-to-prove-my-point sunlight photos speak for themselves. There is no need for further words.
