Hello ladies,
Today I have a manicure to show you with Nubar Reef Green. My nails are glowing like vibrant leaves freshly unfurled or deep sea fishes swimming in a school of ten. Reef Green is striking enough on its own, so of course I added circlets of pink flowers. What else would I do? They reminded me a bit of daisy chain bracelets and summer whimsy.
I used Konad pink special polish to stamp the semi-circle of flowers from Bundle Monster plate BM12. This manicure was a playful experiment to try alternate positioning with a French tip design. I accented the flowers with pink rhinestones and pink and green pearls. I loved how this turned out.

Reef Green needed two coats for opacity. Brushstrokes were apparent as I applied the polish, but they virtually disappeared once I sealed the manicure with Diamont. Reef green shares the lovely pearl finish that categorizes the California Dreamin' Collection. This group of polishes is truly masterful. Although I have always been enthusiastic about Nubar as a brand, California Dreamin' makes me adore them a bit more.
