Nubar Angel.

uh, what a lovely polish. i've seen Nubar Angel nail polish on londonmakeupgirl.com and had to have it instantly. i found it on ebay for about 6€ (shipping included).
Angel is a sheer nude with pale gold shimmer and pearly pink and copper duochrome, it looks like glistening mother of pearl in a bottle (especially beautiful in sunlight!). applied in one coat, it's a beautiful subtle copper shimmer. two coats will give you a stronger effect with the pink sheen being more apparent, but it's still not completely opaque. i also like to layer it in one coat over darker shades, especially dark purples.
the Nubar bottle looks very chic, it contains 15ml. i like the handle, it allows a good grip and exact control of the brush. it has a thin round brush but applies very well thanks to the great consistency. it dries quickly to a less glossy finish, so i would recommend a top coat. it has an amazing staying power, doing housework, typing and all other nail-polish-killing things still could not flaw my manicure. due to minimal tip wear on 3 of 10 fingers, but mostly because i wanted a new look for my nails, i removed it after 4 days.

purple polish parade - dark purples.

purple nail polishes are one of my obsessions - still haven't found the perfect shade in the cream finishes, so this odyssey still hasn't come to an end. my dream shade is a medium dark, very blue toned purple cream - i once saw it, but couldn't order it. do you have some recommendations?
