Forget Me Not Friday - NUBAR: Reclaim

The elusive Nubar Reclaim

Once upon a time Nubar released a polish called Reclaim. Sadly, when Lacey discovered it... She learned it was released in 2009 and was later discontinued (naturally...). DUN DUN DUN. After browsing blog sales for a year-ish and giving up on and off, she remembered eBay existed! So she searched eBay for awhile and a bottle never surfaced. One day, she got the bright idea, "set up a listing notification"! A few months later, a $13 bottle of Nubar Reclaim at "By It Now" surfaced. HUZZAH! Reclaim was finally Lacey's! She was blessed with the holographic green polish awesomeness in Fall of 2014 and just remembered she owned it. Way to go, Lacey, way to go.

Check out swatches of Nubar Reclaim after the jump lmfao.

SINFUL COLORS: Maroon Fine & Star Blast-Off

Check them out after the jump!

Forget Me Not Friday: HARE POLISH - Archipelago 2.0

Hare Polish Archipelago 2.0

Congrats, you made it to FRIDAY! And I made it to Forget Me Not Friday, yay me! I don't purchase much indie polish anymore (I gotta get the storage sitch figured out haha) but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for some Hare Polish. This I'm reviewing today is Archipelago 2.0. When I discovered Hare Polish before their "comeback", Archipelago was the ONE polish I knew I had to have so I was STOKED when 2.0 was made. Check it out below!

Hare Polish Archipelago 2.0

Hare Polish Archipelago 2.0

(For reference, here's a Polishaholic swatch of the original Archipelago). As you can see Archipelago has a more complicated look to it than the original, love it just the same. 2.0 is a "blue/teal jelly with copper hexes and squares, plus copper shimmer!" What's not to love about that freakin' color contrast? It's AWESOME. The newly added shimmer and squares give 2.0 a little more depth, which is what we're used to with Hare Polish.

I did 3 coats of Archipelago 2.0. Application of the jelly was nice, easy to apply. This polish was easy to build up to opacity. Longer nails will need more coats to kill VNL, of course. One thing I love about Hare Polish jellies: They don't take 10 years to dry.

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand: Hare Polish
Etsy | Facebook | Blog | Twitter | Instagram
Price: Full Sized $10
Where to Find: Etsy, Llarowe, Shop Eclecticco, Femme Fatale, Rainbow Connection, Little Vixen Shop

At the moment, Archipelago 2.0 is sold out in her Etsy shop (haven't checked other etailers, I'm lazy LOL), but stay tuned to her Facebook if you're wanting this polish!

What do you think? Were you excited about this reboot? Or did you like the original better?

Have a great weekend!

I bought this myself. Is that good enough for you, Federal Trade Commission?

SQUAREHUE: The Decades Collection - 1950 [June 2015: Palm Springs, Bel Air, & Sock Hop]

Square Hue June 2015 (L->R) Palm Springs, Bel Air, and Sock Hop

Remember that time I won a Square Hue contest and I was like "I'm going to review my monthly box each month" and only did it once? LOL Well... I do. This box showed up in my mailbox last week so I wanted to share it with you. This is the June/1950s Collection. Check it out after the jump!

ESSIE: Coat Couture & Comfy in Cashmere

Essie Coat Couture (left) and Comfy in Cashmere (right)

So a thing happened, Essie made a few nail polishes that I actually wanted! SHOCKER lol. I'm just not easily wow-ed by Essie polishes *shrugs* But I do love me some blue shimmer! I have 2 polishes from the Essie Cashmere Matte Collection via The Beauty Clutch to share with you today!
