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 their duochromatic polishes more than anything else they offer up.
Remember how much I liked Cherry Cordial from last year’s Chocolate Truffles collection? Well, Wildlife is its counterpart from the earlier collection featuring nothing but greens. Not being a humungous green fan, this and Reclaim were the only ones I picked up from this range. What can I say? I like the flashy ones!
I was a bit concerned initially when I applied Wildlife as I thought it was going to be mega sheer. Yes, it needs every one of its three coats but thankfully it thickened up nicely and was perfectly opaque.
I like this as although the base colour is definitely a murky khaki green (as I
saw when I removed it and the cotton wool became increasingly sludgy), it has an extremely strong yellow and rose coloured flash. Almost a triple-chrome. This works well for me as I find it constantly entertaining and could sit and stare at it for hours, whilst tilting my hand from side to side. Tragic, isn’t it?
Wear on this was excellent. I ended up having this on for four days, due to general time commitments, and it still looked pretty good by the end of the fourth day. A bit of tipwear yes, but I attribute that more to the fact that I had to use Seche Vite topcoat over it as I couldn’t lay my hands on my Nubar Diamont anywhere.
I also wore this polish to a blogger meet-up in London. I 
know these ladies are hard to impress and always have to think carefully about what polish I wear when I see them.
Thankfully, this one met with unanimous rapture and admiration. Holding your own in front of a group opf hypercritical beauty bloggers after three days of wear? Well done, Wildlife – high praise indeed!
