China Glaze Ruby Pumps Plus Nubar 2010 Pt. 1

Nubar 2010 was my first and biggest lemming. I have a confession though. I was really disappointed when I finally bought it. I'm not even sure why. I used up about one-fourth of the bottle wearing it over different colors and trying not to be underwhelmed. That said, I really love it over Ruby Pumps. This is two coats China Glaze Ruby Pumps and one coat Nubar 2010.

Under the lamp:

In natural light, shade:

This is with weak sunlight which is all that came out that day. Probably the most color accurate as well.

Huzzah, contentment at last! I didn't want to flood the post with too many pictures so I'll post my experiment tomorrow.

Stamping + Matte

Hi. I couldn't think of a snappy title.

I stamped over my gradient from yesterday *cough* with Mash plate m60 and Essie Shifting Power. Shifting Power isn't very shiny on its own. Perhaps that's why it isn't a very popular shade. This is with topcoat.

But I thought it was missing something, so I added a coat of Essie Matte About You. Aw, my sad pinkie nubbin.

Still, I didn't want to take this one off. And this is the last of the sad nubbin posts. That is until I screw up filing again haha...

Ruby Pumps Gradient

 Hi folks! Long time no see. /sheepish shifty

Yarr, I made a gradient with China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Sinful Black on Black.

artificial light:

I really, really love how Ruby Pumps looks under the fluorescent lamp. I just wish the combination of red and black didn't remind me so much of The Twilight Saga...

 

 

And I've been playing around with watermarks. Let me know if it's obtrusive or something.
