Nubar: Mali-Blue and holo top coat

Love this Nubar!  I was lucky enough to have a friend find a bunch of Nubars for me (stay tuned for holos too!). Mali-Blue is a frosty cool blue. It was opaque in 2 coats and I just love the hue! This color also dries fast which is really  nice.




I didn't top coat it because... wait for it.... I added a Spectra Flair top coat over it! for those who aren't familiar with Spectra Flair, it's a paint additive used for auto body painting that turns the paint holo.  I added two coats of SF which is in a clear bsse, then topped it with a quick dry top coat.  



The color changed quite a bit to a more gray/silver blue, but the trade off is the major holo that you get.  You can enlarge and see the linear rainbow.  I like the SF but I really want it to not dull the color so much because Mali Blue is gorgeous!

  3. Mali-Blue is pretty on it own. And of course with the holo topcoat, even if the color changed a bit.

  5. Spectraflair was new to me as well, until I read this, I have already found a place to buy it and it have only been 10 minutes since I read the post.

    Thanks for the post! :)
