Nubar Gold Feather

Of all the Nubar duochromes, this one never seems to get any attention. It should, though- it's super cool. Though, maybe it's not truly a duochrome as it doesn't flip from one color to another, it just has a semi-sheer base with a contrasting glass fleck shimmer in a very different color. The shimmer lights up more or less depending on how the light hits it which gives it the illusion of changing colors.


Nubar Gold Feather. This is a warm golden base- a little more on the brown side than pure gold, and fairly red-toned. In some types of lighting it looks more neutral, so maybe there is a little true duochrome action happening here. The shimmer is a very bright iridescent green. It's large, shiny shimmer like a tiny version of a glass fleck particle. It is very obvious and very different from the warm gold base so it really stands out. Such a unique color, there just aren't many (if any at all) colors like this on the market anymore. It bears a certain similarity to the old discontinued Sally Hansen Chill Frost, but has a different finish and a three-free formula.

Re-swatching all my old Nubars has been really fun for me. I'm not quite done with them all yet, but I've already re-discovered so many favorites. Nubar has some seriously amazing colors in their line, including an abundance of duochromes- something most brands lack. Here's to hoping that there may be more Nubar duochromes in our future!

  7. I just love Nubar so much, but sadly I don't have very many of them because Zoya always tempts me to buy their stuff with their sales and by time I'm done I don't have any leftover for poor old nubar!
