Deborah Lippmann Candy Shop

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I wanted to be sure to get in one more pink for BCA month, so today I have Deborah Lippmann Candy Shop to show you.  It's the pink one that came with Lippmann Forget You in the Get This Party Started set and is equally fabulous.

As with Forget You, the base of this one is just right.  It's pigmented enough to be opaque in two coats, but translucent enough that it lets the glitter show through really well.  For the manicure, I used a base coat, two coats of Candy Shop, and SpaRitual Tout de Suite to dry it.  After it had dried, I added one coat of Sally Hansen Salon 10 Day Speed Dry to even out the glitter and make it nice and shiny.  The result is an amazingly happy manicure.

Here's a better look at the glitter on part of a nail, where you can see how the depth created by the glitter peeking out makes it differ from layering Lippmann Happy Birthday over pink.

This is another Deborah Lippmann hit for me, I really like it a lot.  Honestly, I think I prefer Forget You just because it's a less predictable base color, but that doesn't take away from how cool this one is at all.

That's Lippmann Candy Shop and the update for today, so until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!

Deborah Lippmann Good Girl Gone Bad

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I really wanted to wear the polish that prompted my recent Lippmann order today, and that's Deborah Lippmann Good Girl Gone Bad.  I had the mini from the Party Like a Rockstar set from a few years back, maybe 2008, and loved it.  I was sad that in only came in that set, so I used up my mini in a couple of manicures and hoped it would eventually be available by itself full size, so when I found out that it finally was, I was happy.  Here's a stock image of the Party Like a Rockstar set so you don't have to hunt for what I'm talking about.

Good Girl Gone bad is the gorgeous sparkly dark raspberry in the middle, and it's a lot nicer than that picture.  Fortunately, I have actual pictures to show you so you don't just have to take my word for that.

My manicure is base coat, two coats of Good Girl Gone Bad, and top coat.  The polish is very smooth with top coat and sparkles like little suns in direct sunlight.

Here's a closer look at one nail.

I see this as one of those polishes that's not a spectacularly new idea (realistically, it's just a raspberry shimmer), but it's such a great rendition of it that it's a special polish just the same.  I think these are my favorite kinds of nail polish, really, just an exceptional take on a very wearable color.

That's Lippmann Good Girl Gone Bad and all I have for you today, Dear Reader, so until next time, love and nail polish to you!

Deborah Lippmann Forget You

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

Today I changed my polish to Deborah Lippmann Forget You, the black jelly with multicolored glitter from the Get This Party Started set.  It is, in a word, incredible, and it's these gems that make be keep suffering through the Lippmanns that make me sad.

The black base of Forget You is perfect - two coats made it totally opaque but it still shows the glitter beautifully.  The glitter is like that in Happy Birthday, and such happy colors in  a black base is a great contrast.  I think it's different that Happy Birthday over black because the glitter in the first coat kind of peeks out through the base, which you'll see in the close picture of the glitter.

For the manicure, I used base coat, two coats of Forget You, and SpaRitual Tout de Suite because it was handy, but it's thinner that would be ideal for a glitter.  I might add another coat of top coat to make it perfectly smooth, but I think most people would find it to be smooth enough with just the one coat of top coat.  After it had a little time to dry, I took pictures, so here's Forget You on a cloudy day.

Here's a closer look at the glitter on part of one nail.

I think this is awesome. Happy Birthday always reminded me of a clown holding a bunch of colored balloons for some reason, so Forget You seems more like this guy:

Evil Clown
Evil Clown!

It's like a happy polish with a macabre sense of humor, so I love it.  That's Forget You and just about all I have to tell you about today, Dear Reader, so until next time, love and nail polish to you!

Deborah Lippmann Stairway to Heaven

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I decided to try Deborah Lippmann Stairway to Heaven when I ordered another Lippmann, and it got here in record time so I thought I'd give you a peek.  I looked at some pictures to decide on it, and it looked sheer-ish white with light colored moderately sized glitter.

I was surprised at how sheer Stairway to Heaven looked in the bottle and I simply don't have the patience for a million coats of color these days, so after applying base coat I applied one thin coat of Misa Heaven White.  I picked Heaven White not for the handy name tie-in but because it's not as stark a white as my other layering standby, FingerPaints Papier Mache.  On the very first nail, I was glad I'd put something under Stairway because I found it to be both sheer and incredibly thick, so thick that it was kind of hard to get it on the brush well.  In getting it on my nails, it was so thick that I had to got over some spots to flatten out the little square glitter bits I'll show you in a minute - the base was letting them stay standing on end.  I missed a spot in the flattening process of the first coat on one nail, and it's still lumpy after it dried (but it's on my right hand and not in the picture).  I did a total of two coats of Stairway to Heaven and  finished it off with Addicted to Speed, and the polish on my nails is pretty thick, so more coats of Stairway wouldn't have worked well for me.  I let it dry and went in the sun for some pictures, so here's Stairway to Heaven.

Here's a look at the glitter, which looks like itty bitty squares of colored transparent plastic.

I liked it more when I started writing this than I do now because I've snagged a piece of wayward glitter on the edge of a nail about seventeen billion times so far.  I did wrap my tips with top coat, but extra clear wasn't an option when the polish was so thick to start with (I understand that's to suspend glitter, but there are limits to what's useful and I could always mix it before applying it if glitter settled...).  This isn't something I'd wear on its own, and it seems like a Springtime glitter to me.  I also have to point out the lack of gold - not many songs have specific color references, but what what do we know from the very first line of Stairway to Heaven?  There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold.  I would have put some gold in, because looking at this polish, this lady is sure all that glitters is pastel.

That's Lippmann Stairway to Heaven - not a huge failure, not a huge hit, but kind of a disappointment for me.  That's the update for today, Dear Reader.  Until next time, love and nail polish to you!

Edited to add a little note on removal: What a nightmare!  Imagine the worst Nfu Oh flaky removal you've ever had and square it.

You know you want to be Between The Sheets

Deborah Lippmann Between the SheetsA beautiful Bright nearly neon Fuschia that leans a bit purple and refuses to photograph properly.I love the story behind this polish. It was inspired by a pair of fabulous sexy heels that Deborah bought and knew that she would never wear them outside the bedroom. How many of us own shoes like that? I own a couple pair of those fabulous sexy too high heels.
