HARE Heat Plague

This is two coats of HARE Heat Plague over Nubar Forest. Nubar Forest is one of my favourite dark green creams.

I used a coat of Gelous and a coat of SV to smooth this out. Nothing more to say - I love this combination of colours :)

You can buy HARE polishes from Llarowe llarowe hare page. They ship internationally at a very fair price and have great customer service. Nikole sells her polishes direct from her Etsy shop too HAREpolish.

Colour geek notes - why do the colours in this polish work so well?
Nikole has done all the work already in this polish and applied her colour theory very well! We've got a green base with violet and orange glitters ~ orange, violet and green are equally spaced on the colour wheel so the effect is balanced. The technical term for three colours like this is a triad. 

Compare this to the HARE Polish Afterglow (look at PolishAholic swatches as I swapped my bottle away without taking photographs), which uses the same glitters in a blue base. I would have liked Afterglow much better if she'd used a yellow glitter rather than the purple ~ just my opinion of course, feel free to disagree!


beautybay is the easiest way to buy Nubar in the UK.

  2. Thanks! I love green and pink together! Asteroid Turf is another of my HARE favourites :)

    Thank you so much for the suggestion about Japan Town. I'm not sure, tbh, we definitely have China Town in some of our bigger cities; I'll need to investigate........

  3. I need to get a HARE polish one day, if only because I love their logo... I think I am going to have to keep my eyes peeled in the nail sales!
