Review
Nubar sent me two products to review, a bottle of their Tea Rose Petal Nail Lacquer and a Toe TwinX toe ring. Since I do not often wear nail polish or toe rings, I was looking forward to experimenting with Nubar's products.

The first product I tried was the Tea Rose Petal Nail Lacquer. The first thing I noticed about this nail polish was it’s color. It is a lovely pink and I figured it would be perfect for summer. It also reminded me of my favorite color of nail polish when I was a little girl.

The first time I used this nail polish, I noticed that the color was much lighter once applied than I thought it would be. For me this is a good thing. Since I don't wear nail polish too often, it is nice to wear something a bit more subtle. This nail polish covered really well and I only had to apply one coat. In addition, I noticed that the nail polish dried very quickly. Within only a few minutes of waiting, I was able to put my socks back on (up here in Canada, it is still too cold to walk around with bare feet). Even though I loved the color and the quality of this nail polish, my favorite aspect was one that is quite unexpected: the design of the bottle. I absolutely loved the shape of the nail polish lid. Compared to other nail polishes I have used in the past, this one is much more comfortable to hold and it makes applying the nail polish easier. After trying this nail polish, I would love to try different shades in the future.

Next, I had the opportunity to try out one of Nubar’s Tow TwinX toe rings. I had tried a toe ring once before and I didn’t like it at all, I actually took it off immediately. The reason being is that it was made completely out of metal and continuously pinched my toe (no fun). So, when I saw that the toe ring that Nubar sent me had a plastic ring (sort of like an elastic band), I was much happier. I knew this toe ring would likely be more comfortable, and it was. I also like that Nubar uses a ring that has a bit of stretch. This makes the ring stay on better and consequently, I do not have to worry about losing it. Finally, I loved the aesthetic design of the toe ring. This toe ring is made up of several little rhinestones, which from a distance look like tiny diamonds. Because of it’s simple design, this toe ring can be worn with almost anything. This is one toe ring I will definitely be wearing in the future. All I have to do now is wait for some warmer weather!

Overall, my experience with Nubar has been great. Both products are great and I would be happy to try more of their products in the future. Most of all, I am happy to have found a company that cares about the ingredients they use in their products!
