Turtles!: Nubar Baby Sprout

Hello ladies,

Do you ever feel like time is moving beyond your reach? It's probably when you most need to invoke the spirit of the turtle and put the demands of life into perspective. How pleasant it would be to lounge on a sunlit log and watch the river waters go by!

From design plate H20, I stamped the the turtles with Konad green special polish. I used the striper brush from the Nubar Emeralds nail art pen to highlight the face, limbs and tail. It gave the design more depth while coordinating with the marquis jewel.





I have been really loving the pastel shimmers from the latest Nubar release. Baby Sprout is a soft green, reminiscent of a watercolor shade. This polish is opaque in three coats with decent application. I didn't need a whitening base coat, which is such a plus when working with a pastel.

These turtles were a joyful reminder for me to be patient and live peacefully in the moment.

Baby Sprout was sent to me for review. This shade is part of the upcoming Spring Garden Collection, soon to be released at bynubar.com.

Image plate H20 was provided for my consideration. You can shop the full line of nail art stamping plates at chez-delaney.com.
