Nubar Cleopatra Collection

As a die hard purple fan, I was sooo excited to bring you this collection. As a note to myself, now that I know how long it would take to swatch an entire collection, I will have to split them up to a couple days... But enough whining, let's get on with it. This is my first time trying Nubar, I took advantage of their promo code from The Nailphile (which is my bible, btw). The collection consists of 8 different shades of purple, with different finishes. Now let's see all the goodies shall we?

Passionate Purple is a dark blurple with small fuchsia glitters. It's very close to OPI Ink, except Ink's glitters are much bigger and coarser.



Toga Purple is dark warm purple with grey-ish tone. It's a cousin of CND Rock Royalty, without the shimmer.



Nile Purple is warm grape purple with little shimmer. Surprisingly this is my favourite out of all them. My picture doesn't do justice of how pretty it is in real life.



Pyramyd Purple is true medium lavender creme and my 2nd favourite.



Sphinx Purple is more of a fuchsia or magenta instead of purple, nonetheless it's still very pretty. The shimmer is so strong, it looks like it's glowing.



Hieroglyphys Purple is another one that is the least purple of all. It's more of a berry and is creme finish. It's my least favourite since there's nothing special about it and it's got so many dupes out there.



Isis Purple is a light purple-y pink in creme finish. The formula is excellent, none of streaking associated with light colors.



Hieroglyphys Purple is medium grey purple creme. This is the lighter version of China Glaze Channelesque.



So what do you think of them? I definitely love them, even though there are a couple colors that I can do without. In summary, Nubar has definitely got the hang of Big 3 Free formula. They are all nicely pigmented, smooth, shiny and dry fairly quick. I used 2 coats for all of them, with Nubar's Foundation Base Coat and Diamont Top Coat. Lemme just say that Diamont is sooooo great, it's replacing my long time love Poshe. I'll bring you the Diamont review, but that will have to be another day!
