NUBAR FORTRESS COLLECTION SWATCHES & REVIEW

This is a very much delayed post of one of the Nubar collections ive picked up during My Nail Solution sale 2 months back. The bad news is that its very ‘outdated’ that im not even sure if anyone is gonna read this, but the good news is that; its all greys! And you don’t get much of these shades around so im sure i'll grab some attention here and there:-)

This collection; The Nubar Fortress Collection consists of 5 crèmes, 2 shimmers and 1 glitter. The colours are beautiful and the formulation and application is outstanding. I even love the names; reminds me of the Judith McNaught's Historical romance novels I love so much.

Ill go from the lightest to the darkest ya:

Marble Tower:

Marble tower is the lightest gray in this collection. Its barely grey, more towards white with a drop of black in it.

Citadel

Citadel is the second lightest in the collection. It looks almost similar to marble tower only it has a little hint of brown in it so you can see the ‘yellow’ side of it. It’s crème as well.

Barricade

Barricade is a little darker than citadel. In this the grey is more noticeable. If you put a pool of white polish, this probably has about 5 tiny drops of black's finish. It really looks like a newly painted grey fence, or more like fresh ‘simen' (malay word for cement).

Palisade

Palisade is a colour that has a more noticeable grey. It looks a lot like Barricade, only slightly darker. A medium toned grey.

Stronghold

Stronghold is the darkest of the creams. I love this shade the most. Its probably one of the best grey to date and surprise surprise- its only one coat! Very very  ‘metal-strong’

Silver Sword

Silver Sword *kching..kching* (swords fight sound). Look at it shining. Look at it! Doesn’t it look like a sword from 1800? Its really pretty. Like a charcoal grey shimmer.

Dark Castle

Now if silver sword was there to protect something, what would it protect? Yap the dark black horse and ultimately the dark castle. So of both which do you think should be nicer? True the Dark Castle! Coz that’s what you are protecting isn’t it? back to the polish, true enough the dark castle, as the name suggests, is the darkest shade in the shimmer range. And yes it is a beauty! Shimmery and metallic like finish. 2 coats for this.

Knight Amour

Ok so we have the whole Fortress thingy goin on, but don’t forget the most important thing in this whole ‘fight’ THE KNIGHT!! The hero of ‘the story’, the one where everything else wouldn’t have mattered without it.. The one you should see the last. That’s right.. introducing, the knight in the shinning amour,

Knight Amour.

 with flash:

Isnt its so glitterly dark? Ive never seen such intense dark glitter before. Its so opaque and the glitters are so dense that one layer was more than enough! The swatch above has one layer and two layers on different fingers. Its really cool! If you can purchase only one from this collection, I suggest you to get this! The ‘hero’ of all. I'm not sure if there is anything like it out there. From my experience; I dont think so.

Now away from the polish; do you guys remember Cave of Golden Roses? Fantaghiro? I don’t know why with this Nubar collection I’m thinking about that 15 years ago’s story. I wanna see Tarabas again; my first crush! :-(
