Nubar Mail!- Bynubar.com review

I was really excited when I saw the new Polka Dot set by Nubar. They are so pretty no??

I was still on the waiting list for Lynnderella's Connect the Dots so I thought these puppies could satisfy my craving for black and white glitter toppers until I could finally get my hands on CTD...

I ordered my set from Bynubar.com. I looked around on amazon and other online retailers to see if I could get a better deal but in the end, if you want both White Polka Dot and Black Polka Dot, I recommend getting it directly from the source!
For $20 you get both Polka Dot toppers and Diamont Seal and Shine, which is a really good top coat!

The set came in this poly box. The outside of the box was very dusty... This picture was taken after I had blown most of the dust off, and there is still a lot there. However, the inside of the box was pristine so I didn't really care.

Here they are outside of the box! the Black Polka Dot reminds me of the black bean abyss they have at Moe's Southwest Grill. It's just a big pot of boiled black beans that you can have them put on pretty much anything you order. It looks like a bubbling cauldron of black plague but it tastes delicious!
White Polka dot is much more innocent looking in comparison no? As you can see here, the white is a little more of a pearly white. The glitters are a little translucent but still very pretty.
And of course the Diamont top coat peeking in the back!

Star Sparkle and Night Sparkle

 also went ahead and ordered 2 Nubar polishes that I had been lemming for! Star Sparkle, a silver holographic glitter, and Night Sparkle, a dark blue glitter. These are both full coverage glitters and take 2-3 coats...

My overall experience with Bynubar.com was rather pleasant. Shipping was a little higher than I expected it to be (at over $13 for 5 bottles of Domestic polish) so that was a little disappointing. I fiddled around with what was in my cart to try and figure out how their shipping works. For 1 bottle of polish, shipping to Ohio was $13 ish dollars, adding the polka dot kit and another bottle did not vary that price. Adding another 3 polish kit, however, increased shipping by about $1. So if you are going to order something from this site, I recommend you make it worth the shipping and order more than just a couple bottles...

*please be aware that shipping is likely to vary by location. Your shipping may be significantly different from mine if you live on the west coast for example*

It took about 3 days for my order to process and an additional 3 days for shipping. Shipping was done via UPS. I personally do not have a preference between USPS and UPS other than USPS usually being cheaper but I know that some of you do :)

Most of you probably know about the quality of this brand so I won't babble on too long about it. Mostly these met my expectation for the brand. I can't wait to mess around with these :D

Also, as luck would have it, the day I ordered these, I received an email from Llarowe saying that my bottle of Connect the Dots had been shipped >_<

Oh well, now I have lots of black and white glitter toppers to show you guys! woohoo!

What would you prefer, Nubar Polka Dot or Lynnderella Connect the Dots?

Until next time ^_^
