On me this is not so much a reddish brown as a nude.

Nubar The Finest Silks collection swatches & review Part I

These are the four I'll show you today:
Taffeta - a pale peachy brown
Marabou - a deep muted brown
Charmeuse - a neutral blush
Sateen - a deep vivid red



In natural light shade

Natural sunlight
Sateen is a classic fall red creme with an almost jellyish finish


Natural light shade

Sunlight
Marabout is your chic office safe deep sexy neutral

Natural sun & shade (bonus)
Peachy brown almost a nude on me

Natural light shade

Sunlight
Charmeuse is a neutral pink creme and nearly opaque in one coat.

Formula:
Great Nubar formula all of these are opaque in 2 thin coats with no cuticle drag or streaks. Sateen was a bit bubbly but that may easily have been the odd change in weather.

Brush:
Average size, spreads great for easy no clean up polishing

Bottle:
I love Nubar bottles. It's a little hard for photographing due to my under adult size hands but for polishing and asthetics the bottles are beautiful.

Colors:
Not my normal cup of tea but definitely chic, classic colors and so perfect for those who work in an office or have holiday events coming up. These colors easily go from casual to elegant black tie. Very versatile and work with multiple skin tones.
