Nubar Jeans Collection Preview
We all knew it would happen. That shortly after the Chanel Les Jeans de Chanel collection launched, other brands would follow suit with their own inspired send-ups. Nubar is one of the first out of the gate with their upcoming Nubar Jeans collection.
Keep reading to take a closer look at the polishes.
Faded Jeans - a light blue shimmer
Boyfriend Jeans – a medium blue creme
Dark Wash Jeans - a dark blue creme
The Nubar Jeans collection will retail for $19.99/set for all three polishes. The collection will be available either late next week (9/28) or early the following week (10/5) on ByNubar.com.
Considering that the set will retail for less than one Chanel nail polish I’m definitely curious to see how similar the Nubar shades are to the originals.
So are you excited about this collection? How do you feel about a brand so blatantly imitating another? Granted this isn’t the first time a brand has created makeup based on denim (ie MAC) but this is pretty dead-on dupe-ish.
A company called Bettina did a Jeans themed set of polish earlier this year for Spring.

At any rate, I don’t mind the dupe-age (of any brand). There are those of us who can’t (or won’t) pay the $$$ for Chanel, Deborah Lippmann, or any “high end” brand.
was disappointed with the Chanel release because the jeans collection seems like such a plain and borin idea for a limited release and am even more disappointed with Nubar (and anyone else who will probably jump onto the bandwagon in the next months) for copying such a boring release. IF you gotta dupe popular brands, at least dupe their interesting releases! :/
Ugh, I thought the concept of denim inspired polish sounded kind of dated (even when Chanel did it, honestly), and then I saw that promo art! I’m in marketing and I’ve observed that there are some industries where there’s no way to copy another brand subtly—e.g. clothing and especially accessories; certain types of technology; certain types of toys. Nail polish, on the other hand, seems like a product that you could dupe with more grace and subtlety!
I LOVE blue, so I’m really looking forward to seeing swatches of these!
Wow . I like the nail paint collection. May I know the prize of nail pant.
I’m not just excited about them but I WANT THEM ALL!!
I love blue trend-a lot of new blues on market
I’d like to see the swatches. The ad campaign looks a little cheap.
Wow… they didn’t even try to call it something slightly different. Not that the “blue pants collection” has a nice sound to it… but still!
Maybe I’ll wait until Sinful Colors copies them and just spend $1.99 each.
Ha, I love this idea! Even better
Very tacky & trashy marketing. Also concur with others on here regarding the blatant rip-off. Can CHANEL sue them over this?
I will really like to see the real swatches of the colors, they look like some very easy to use blues, just like jeans I guess and I think I saw the concept of blue jeans before with bourjois, or somewhere else, and nubar is much more cheaper, and I don’t know if anyone else has this experience with chanel, but it gives me allergies, and for over 20 a bottle, I say Nubar is my thing…WILL YOU BE SWATCHING THE COLORS ON YOUR NAILS SOON?, few days with no swatches from you! I miss you!
whooa I love this shade :3
I just love the colors! So gorgeous!!!
Is everything ok?
I’m too distracted by the poorly-produced image to focus on the polish colors.
Has anyone got their hands on these yet? I’d love to know what they are like
Beautiful colors love all the blues my fav!
XOXO
I love Nubar, so I have no problem with them copying Chanel, it’s the first time they got the inspiration from another brand. Moreover, I just bought Boyfriend Jeans, and it’s stunning.
