Nubar: Wildlife

I love me some duochrome, and Nubar does a great job with them. Wildlife is a great earthy mixture of green with flashes of pink and brown. Wildlife (like most duochromes) is sheer. I wore two coats overtop a black with silver hexes and you can still see some of the hex glitter poke through at the tips. Black is a great base to show off the colors in a sheer duochrome, and it didn't disappoint here.

You can really see the green and pink in the 1st two shots:




and although I didn't love this pick, I wanted to include it because it perfectly shows off the brown side to Wildlife.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails; Fly Away

This is another one of those brilliant accidentally awesome polishes I got in a Dollar Tree 2 pack. In the bottle this looks like a peachy-pink sheer color, but over black, it's a subtle, but pretty purple-green duochrome.

Nubar Shock: Peacock Feathers revisited

Say it isn't so! I've heard that Nubar has discontinued Peacock Feathers?? So in honor of this classic duochrome, I've decided to post some new swatches. Straight on, Peacock Feathers is a very pretty blurple color....



...but once you put it at an angle, you can start to see a color shift:


and hello green!

Toma Metallic Illusion: Heavenly Body

Heavenly Body is a purple / green duochrome polish from Toma's Metallic Illusion collection. I'm not sure when these came out, but I know I've had mine for about 3 years now, and it was old when I got it 8-) Head on, it's purple, but once you put it at an angle, the green really comes out.

Milani: Black Cherry + Color Morphing topcoat

I can't believe how hard it was for me to capture a decent photo of Black Cherry. I wore this mani all last week and don't want to admit how many photos I took of it until I finally got a decent one. I love this polish, it's an amazing blackened burgundy shimmer, which is like the perfect vampy red. So dark, but you can still tell it's burgundy.



So, after a couple of days I decided to add a bit of a kick to my Black Cherry mani. I added the red/green color morphing topcoat I frankened using the pigment I got from More Nail Polish. Check out the colors, red, gold, and green (I should name this franken Karma Chameleon! LOL). Amazing!!







Here's a little closeup:

Color Morphing Top Coat

So I just got my color morphing powders in from More Nail Polish and I'm currently obsessed with the Red to Green powder. She had the wonderful idea of frankening these into topcoats, which is what I did too. You can view her post on the color morphing colors here on her website. THANK YOU so much for making these available to other bloggers ♥

I decided to wear mine over Loreal Femme Noir and I adore the combo. I actually wore this for a full week and never got tired of it, which is saying alot! LOL.

Look at the color shift in these picks, red, gold, green....love it!

Orly: Space Cadet

So, I've never really done a proper swatch of Space Cadet....I just couldn't seem it catch it's duochrome-ness before....but today I think I've done it justice. I like Space Cadet, but I'm not in love with the foily finish. I'm not sure what it is about it, but the finish just seems to take something away from the color, like it's distracting, but not in a good way.

Here is a great bottle shot, if you enlarge it, you can really see the different colors:

Nubar Shock Nail Wheel

There's this great little dusty shop that has a bunch of the old Nubar Shocks and Spells, and I've been slowly acquiring them whenever I'm on that side of town. This is my collection of Shock colors. I believe you can still find all of these colors in their current lineup with the exception of Sea Green.

Make sure to click the picks to enlarge:

Nubar Wildlife

I obtained Wildlife when my BF Shmoopy did her last purge, so I have to shout out a thanks to my Shmop! WL if a duochrome, the base is an olive green color and it flashes pink. I know you're thinking green and pink? Who thought of that combo, right? But the colors actually work together nicely. That being said, it's still not my favorite Nubar.

Check out the picks:




This is also the only Nubar I have with the new bottles. The other others I have are the Shocks and one Magical and they have the old square bottle.

You know, now that I look at this color, it's like the reverse version of Nubar's Olive spice. Check out the swatch in this post.

Chunky holos over Zoya Blair

Ok, so I had to try the Chunky Holos over a vampy red. I used Revlon Red before, but it's a bright red jelly, but I wanted to see it over a darker red base. I used Black on my ring finger and I think Bluebell on the others. Oops, I forgot which one! LOL. But it goes to show they all look the same over a dark base ☺ Andii commented that I should try layering them over a white or light color, that way the base color comes through. Good idea! I'll have it try it soon.

Look at all those colors!


Here is Blair by itself. It's a nice dark vampy color, but still looks red. I approve!

Nubar Shock: Pink Flame

Today I have for you one of Nubar's Shock colors called Pink Flame. PF is a duochrome that flashes red, pink and gold. This one is not as strong of a duochrome as some of the other Shock's are.

This is three coats without topcoat.

Kleancolor Chunky Holo #235 Bluebell

The last Chunky Holo I have is Bluebell. This one is the same as yesterday's Purple, just the base is a blue jelly. Over any color though, they look pretty much the same.








Here's some Chunky Holo spam!



For these next swatches, I used Revlon Red and Navy for the base. All are 2 coats base and 2 coats Chunky Holo overtop:











So, my recommendation is def get Black, but I would only get one of any of the others Poppy, Purple or Bluebell. Overtop other colors, they pretty much look the same. I would not recommend Scarlet if you're looking for a duochrome.

Hope you liked all these ♥ Are you all Kleancolored out? I just got all 7 crackles....I could keep going! ha ha.

Thanks for looking!

Kleancolor Chunky Holo #234 Purple

#234 is a sheer purple base with glitter that flashes red, gold and green....even blue in the bottle. I think the glitter in most of these is the same, it's just the base color that differs. They kind of all look the same over black. Still love them though.





Thanks for looking!

Kleancolor Chunky Holo #236 Black

I hope I'm not boring you with all the Kleancolor's this week. If so, this one will make up for it ☺ I'm excited to show you Black, the most unique of the bunch. Black is a sheer black jelly base loaded with all different sizes of regular and hex glitter that flashes orange, gold and green. You can even see blue on the bottle. I adore this one.

You gotta enlarge this pick so you can see all the colors:



Like the others, this is 2 coats alone and 2 over black:


Thanks for looking!

Kleancolor Chunky Holo #231 Scarlet

Scarlet is a dark red jelly base with glitter that subtlety flashes gold and green. This one is the least noticeable changer of the group....which bummed me out cuz I love dark reds so much. Not bad on it's own, but if you're looking for a flashy duochrome, I wouldn't recommend this one.

This is 2 coats alone and then 2 coats over black:




Thanks for looking!

Kleancolor Chunky Holo #229 Poppy

I just hauled a couple of the Kleancolor Chunky Holos after seeing them posted on The Polishaholic's website. Once I saw them, I knew I had to have 'em. These colors are duochrome glitter in jelly bases, not holographic. Make sure to enlarge the picks ☺

The 1st color here is called Poppy. Poppy is a bright red jelly with glitter that flashes green, red and gold. Here's a bottle shot:


The top 2 coats by itself and on the bottom is 2 coats over black:
