  • OPI Tease-y Does It & Nubar Raspberry Truffle

    OK, it’s only taken me about 18 months to post photos that I promised you way back in the Autumn of 2010. And now I’ve finally got around to doing so, this nail varnish has become extinct. I don’t know why you still read this blog, honestly, I don’t! Tease-y Does It was one of…

  • Nubar Unfaithful Red

    Recently (well, OK, over Christmas), I went on a massive red kick. Something to do with the time of year probably, but even months after Christmas, I’m still loving the reds, so am working my way through the reds in my collection. In fact, I’m thinking about a red comparison post like the other ones…

  • My Nubar Collection

    I’ve been blogging for nearly three years now. You’ve probably seen about half of my nail polish collection, but I am having a real urge to start again and show you my stash by brand (with other posts still focussing on particular polishes, like normal). This is a massive undertaking (I don’t even want to think about…

  • The best of 2010

    So here we are  – New Year’s Eve! I can’t believe it’s here already. But what better chance to show you all my favourite polishes of the year? 2010 has been a fantastic year for Just Nice Things – moving to our own URL, attending some fantastic events, introducing you to some hot men, and of…

  • Gold nail polish comparisons

    This is a post I have been meaning to do for rather a while. Much as they are a labour of love, I do enjoy these comparison posts. As much for me as for you, its a handy way of seeing what dupes I have, fall in love all over again with certain shades, and…

  • Quick-drying Topcoat comparisons

    What started out as an innocent little idea on Twitter has become a bit of a labour of love. I decided on some whim that I wanted to do a topcoat comparison, mainly because I had been reading complaints about the new formula of Nubar’s Diamont, and also to see whether there are any real…

  • Nubar Blissful

    Here we have a shade that was a bit of a surprise. I think it was the result of an online order where you’re not 100% sure if a polish is going to match the picture that you see on the screen. Blissful isn’t one of Nubar’s most championed varnishes, you see – in fact…

  • Nubar Wildlife

    I am rapidly reaching the conclusion that duochromes are what Nubar do best. I mean, they are an interesting brand anyway in that they come out with random ranges of colour families, and of course, the fact that they are cruelty and Big-3 free, but I have to say that I am a fan of…

  • Nubar Unpredictable Taupe

    Do you ever have an item of make-up, or a nail varnish that you buy thinking “oooh now that’s lovely” and then put it away in your collection never to see the light of day again? OK, “never” might be a bit of a strong word, but this has certainly been hanging around in my…
