Colorbar U.S.A. is a very popular brand in India. It has many makeup products which are loved by the masses and have become synonymous with beauty, cosmetics, and fashion. It offers a variety of nail polishes, be it in colors, textures, or finishes, and their nail colors are ideal for any manicure or pedicure. The shelf time of the Colorbar nail polish is around 1-2 years and it’s very economical compared to the quality they provide. They stay pretty well on nails for a whole week if applied with good basecoat and top coat. I have around 13 nail polishes from this brand. And here I have you the swatches of the 10 best shades along with a concise review! Oh yeah, I haven’t used any top coat in the images below. You get what you see!
Colorbar Nail Polish Shades
Keep In Mind- Hand Scrub: Use a scrub to gently exfoliate your hands and then soak them in warm water with a gentle cleanser to soften the cuticles before applying nail polish.
- Rubbing Alcohol: Apply rubbing alcohol with a cotton swab over your nails to remove oil from your nails to prolong the life of the nail polish.
- Outline Cuticles: Rub vaseline, acetone nail polish remover, or glue on the skin around the nails to prevent the nail polish from staining the skin.
- Remove Bubbles: Roll the bottle of nail polish between your hands for 15-20 seconds to stir it up and prevent bubbles.

1. 03, Shy rose:
It’s a very pretty pastel kind of red. Its bit sheer but color is buildable on the 2nd coat it self. I used 3 coats for the swatch.
Key Takeaways
- Colorbar nail lacquers are formulated without formaldehyde, resin, DBP, toluene, camphor, paraben, and xylene, making them safe for your nails.
- They come in a wide range of colors such as pinks, reds, blues, greens, purples, metallics, and more.
- Two must-have shades from Colorbar are Shy Rose, a pastel shade of red, and Foil Blast, to amp up any other nail color by adding some glitter.
2. 63, Flirty pink:
Though it’s named flirty pink, it’s a very pretty nude shade. It is quite sheer and needs 2-3 coats to become opaque.
3. 73 Exclusive:
This shade is from their exclusive range and it is quite similar to flirty pink above. The only different is it is more on the creame finish side and has a silver cap. I three coats for the swatch.
4. 20 Autumn Rose:
It’s a very pretty coral rose shade. I personally recommend this shade as must have in your stash. It has full capacity to brighten up any dull day by just wearing it. I used two coats for the swatch. However, contrary to this, Lana, a blogger who brought the Autumn Love shade of Colorbar Nail Lacquer, was not very pleased with the results. She expected the nail color to give off a coral-pink hue, however, to her disappointment, it looked more like a neon pink color on her nails. She further stated “The color makes my (and my sister’s) fingers look darker. It stayed good for two days and the chipping started on day 3 (i).”
Quick Tip5. 57 Berrylicious:
It is a very pretty shade. It’s more of dark pink with metallic finish shade. This shade looks gorgeous on fair hands. I used two coats for the swatch.
6. 19 Exclusive:
It’s a dark navy blue shade which is very much in this year.
This is perfect to achieve those chic, blue nail designs. I recommend this shade as a must have. I used 2 coats for the swatch. Formula is quite good and creamy.
7. 05, Blue lagoon:
It’s a very pretty bright blue shade. It is bit sheer and you will need 3-4 coats to build the color. I used 3 coats for the swatch.
8. 93, Moss Agate:
It’s a good moss green shade. Needs only two coats to become opaque. It has creamy finish. I used two coats for the swatch.
9. 002, Disco gold:
It’s gold glitter top. Looks very pretty on almost every color. I top it over Moss Agate shade. I used only single coat as it is packed with so much glitter that single swipe is enough. If you are planning nail art with this color, you can use this nail polish to create that French ombre tip or to accent a few nails. However, knowing how to do nail art will help you get that finished look, which everyone will appreciate.
Quick TipColorbar has few beautiful neon shades and I own 3 of them that I am swatching here. They are:
a. 096,lime Margarita.(green neon)(on middle finger)
b. 099,Pina colada.(yellow neon) (on pointer and pinky finger)
c. 094, Pink lady (pink neon)(on ring finger)
I wore them over white polish to get maximum brightness. They are very beautiful shades and I personally recommend them to all neon lovers. I used 2 coats each for the swatches.
10. 003, Foil blast:
It’s a silver glitter crackle polish and I used it over neon shades to create this nail art design.
However, when it comes to nail art design ideas, the possibilities are endless. It’s better to explore everything and then select what best suits your ideology and thoughts and, more importantly, looks best on you.
