Nubar - Prevail (+TC)

Hello darlings! How are you? Already healed of all the hangovers? ;) I have a lazy Sunday, as usual, and I'm slowly getting adjusted to idea, that I have to study my butt off, starting tomorrow. But that's for tomorrow! Today it's lazy nail-polish day. I'm kinda bummed about Tronica not being that holo as I wanted it to be, but I still like the base colours, so the hunt is still on. I still want a few from OMG collection and I wish they did more different colours. Like black or grey holo. And dark green holo. And dark blue holo. That would be super awesome. 

But I'm also loving two colours from Zoya Intimate collection, have you seen the swatches? Scrangie and Vampy Varnish already put them on. We were chatting about them on Alluring_mum's neck of the internet and I didn't think much of the collection after seeing the colour drops. But swatches of Gemma and Danni made me fall in love with them! Totally awesome colours! I'm thinking about Caitlin too, I think it would be good with my skintone. And it's a cute colour. We'll see. All in all a nice surprise from Zoya!

But now to the swatches. Another Nubar (sorry, Nail crazy ;) :D) and this one is even more unique than the others, if that's possible. Prevail!




It dries up in satin finish that I think really suits this colour. And it also surprised me. I had in my memory the glossy swatch Scrangie posted, with TC, that made me fall in love with Prevail. And you know I had to ...

 I think this one shows the best what I adore about this colour. See how it remains purple in every light, but gets dark purple on the edges? That's how it looks like all the time. I could have eaten my nails wearing this, it was so yummy. 




This is two coats of Prevail, later followed with one coat of Seche Vite. I adore it, i think it's really unique. It reminds me of Catherine the Grape, but it's not the same, it's much darker and satin or glossy, it gets this amazing glow that I adore. I think it looks better with top coat, but it's also awesome with satin finish. All in all a great, really great greyed purple, a part of a really awesome Fall 2009 Nubar collection called Modern Matte. I really want Avant-garde too from this collection. 
The application is very neat, much better than with most of matte polish. It gave me hardly any trouble, it applied like every other Nubar. Quite awesome, I'd say. I got bigger tip-wear on the second day, being matte and all, but still, I think it would last through the third one without a problem, but I removed it. 

Awesome colour, don't you think? 

Thank you for reading, have a nice evening!

  4. Amazing colour, very interesting finish. I think I prefer it with a shiny topcoat though :)

  6. Hehe, I see most of you prefer it with top coat. I do too, although also matt version is awesome. :)

    Nina, mislim, da bo dober nakup. :D Jaz sem zdaj nad njim čisto navdušena, in imam na radarju še Avantgarde. :)

    Thanks for the comments! Hvala za komentarje!

  10. Ob temle lalku se slinim že dolgo časa, ker je prekrasen. Tale projekt Latvia je res zelo dobro uspel, vsaj glede na to, da se moram po skoraj vsaki tvoji objavi dolgo prepričevati da nebi dodala še kakšnega laka na WL =).
    Pri tem laku mi je všeč to, da se ne morem odločiti katera verzija mi je bolj všeč, ker sta obe čudoviti =)
    Kar se pa tiče Zoy, so mi pa njihovi laki res nori, ker pomoje ni shimrastega laka od zoye ki mi nebi bil všeč. Res mešajo čudovite in hkrati zelo posebne lake =)

  11. Lois and Renate, I know, I totally agree! :) Although I must say I still prefer it with TC. :)

    Mína, thanks girl! :)

    nail crazy, možeš i pola pola. Ja se već igram sa ideju nail arta sa ovim i top coatom. Mislim, da bi moralo biti odlično. Ali sa Good to go, Seche Vite je prebrza. :D I nema na čemu. ;)

    colorfulbottle, tile Nubarčki niso več iz projekta Latvija, tale je Project Tevta's Bday. :) Posodila mi je lake ki jih je dobila za darilo, ker so vsi že dooooooooooolgo na moji WL in sem bila čisto preč od veselja, ko mi jih je prinesla. :D Zdaj *vem* da jih rabim. ;) :D
    O ja. Zoya redko razočara. Sem že mislila, da bo s to kolekcijo, potem sem pa videla Danni in sploh Gemmo, ki mi je res perfektna, in sem se čisto zaljubila.

    Hvala za komentarje! Thanks for the comments!
