Dirty Wildlife

 This is Nubar Wildlife, which I got in a set of seven green polishes from Nubar.  It is a pretty interesting duochrome that shifts from mossy green to a reddish copper.  I find it to be one of those "so ugly it's pretty" colors to be honest.
Outside the shift is a lot more noticeable, but I don't find it helps me like the color more.  It is still a mossy, dirty, olive green that just doesn't do it for me in the long run.
Overall, I love Nubar polishes, and I love the set I bought it in, but Wildlife is not a winner for me.  I don't see myself reaching for it often and I probably would not have purchased it if it were not in the set.

Diamond Meteors

 I do not have an official Fourth of July manicure for you today, but I was able to find a rather sparkly and blue one that will do in a pinch.  This is Tarina Tarantino Meteor Night with accents of Sally Hansen Nail Prisims Diamond.
The Tarantino is a gorgeous deep blue with a subtle shimmer.  It went on pretty easy and didn't cause a ton of trouble.  The Nail Prism is one of my oldest polishes, I've had it since I was very young.  It is a thin, watery, linear holo that will put others to shame.  If you layer it over a base, it almost nearly covers it in one pass and the holographic shimmer is to die for.
I picked this Tarantino up on clearance from Sephora ages ago, and I'm pretty glad I did.  It's not one of my all time favourites, but it is a nice deep blue that doesn't take a lot of thinking to wear.  Happy Fourth of July everyone!
