Lippmann Mermaid´s Dream

Hello!

Today I´ve got an awesome polish for you. I´m not really a fan of these type of mint green polishes usually, but when I saw a promo pic of this one for the first time, I knew I had to have it. It´s gorgeous!

It´s not really mint green, I would call it seafoam green or something and it has small gold glitter and larger blue glitter. Its name matches perfectly.

I used 2 coats. Application was good. The only downside is the price. I mean, why on earth do some brands need to make their polish so much more expensive than others? It´s not like you get much better wear out of it, or much better application than other cheaper brands.

Anyway, let´s look at the pics.

Really stupid of me, but I forgot to take pics. So when I finally did take pictures, the sun was already gone... It does look more beautiful in the sun.

Enjoy your day!!

Color Club Puccilicious and Happy Birthday

Hi ladies!

A festive mani today because it was my birthday last weekend, although I didn't wear this as my birthday mani, hahaha.

Color Club Puccilicious is a purple neon polish which dries matte. I love this color and no problems with application at all and opaque in 2 coats. Then I applied 2 layers of Lippmann Happy Birthday. Awesome combo. Really like the glitter fest that's going on on my nails!!

One last thing. I updated my blogsale page, so take a look if you are interested.

Enjoy your day!

Lippmann Across The Universe

Hello!

Well, you've probably all seen the world famous Across The Universe a million times already, but I'm showing it to you anyway. It's just so awesome!

When I swatched it I found out it really is sheer, so for this manicure I first used a layer of China Glaze Little Drummer Boy, which turned out to be a perfect combination.

What can I say, I love it! The ink blue base with silver, blue and green glitter in different kind of shapes. Great!

Thanks for visiting my blog! I promise to make more pics next time.

Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings The Blues

Goodmorning ladies!

Todays polish is one I´ve already showed you in a comparison recently. Of course I wanted to wear this as a NOTD as soon as possible, so about a week and a half ago I grapped it out of my helmer and started my manicure. I can´t believe how pretty this is. Eventhough it is expensive, it is worth every penny. And the application is great too! Really opaque as well, only needed 1 thick coat. With some larger glitter polishes you really have to make an efford to get the glitter out of the bottle, this one had no issues at all.

Here she is: Lady Sings The Blues, a dark blue/navy polish with silver glitter and hex glitter

I don´t know why my cuticles look bad again. Since I started using Zoya Remove+ it really got better. Well, just enjoy the gorgeous polish and don´t get distracted by the fact that I don´t know how to edit pictures and remove the horrible cuticles :P

Enjoy your day!

Across The Universe vs Lady Sings The Blues

Hello!

As promised last sunday I´ve got the comparison of 2 Lippmanns for you today. I´ve been searchind for this comparison a long time but couldn´t find them. Of course I knew they are different, but I couldn´t decide which one I like better. I think the best way to decide that is by seeing them side by side. So if any of you ladies want to choose between these 2 beauties, stay tuned!

Here´s the picture. Only one, because the weather wasn´t sunny so I didn´t manage to make more decent pictures.

Excuse the horrible skin and cuticles...

Index and ring = Lady Sings The Blues
Middle and pinkie = Across The Universe

They both have glitter and hex glitter. ATU in blue and green/teal and LSTB in blue and silver. Their base colors look very similar, but ATU is less ink if you understand what I mean. The base is also different in finish, ATU is a sheer jelly and needs at least 3 coats (which I did in the pictures) and LSTB seems like a creme base, but dried matte and is almost opaque in 1 coat (but I used 2 for the swatch). Since LSTB dried matte I used a topcoat for this swatch. Application was very good on both of them, the brush is great! No clean up at all!!

Normally I´m not a huge fan of hex glitter, but I really like both shades. Even after seeing them side by side I´m still not sure if I can decide which one is the best. I think I like Lady Sings The Blues a teeny tiny bit better.

Which of these 2 is your favorite?

Thanks for watching!

3 New Beauties

Hi everyone!

Finally!! I got some Lippmann's in the beautiful bottles!! I already had 2 Lippmann's, but they are the small bottles, which don't have the beautiful shape of the full size bottles.

Here they are, left to right: Lady Sings the Blues, Across the Universe, Don't Tell Mama

 I got these from eBay at a very good and affordable store. They sell Lippmann for $14,70 and $16,60, which is very reasonable. And their shipping fee is amazingly low. I got charged $5,24 for 3 bottles!! Wow! Shipping took way too long in my opinion. I bought these on the 18th of february and they were shipped on the 6th of march (but arrived on the 11th, which is quite ok). I think sellers should always ship within 3 days and if they can´t make it they should at least let you know something came up. But ok, I´m happy with my polishes!!
Here's a link to their eBay store if you are a patient person: http://stores.ebay.com/Makeup-Boutique/Nail-Care-Polish-/_i.html?_fsub=1930363013&_sid=16642693&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

Will make swatches for you as soon as possible. And a comparison between LStB and AtU. I was actually looking for a comparison between these 2, but couldn't find it and eventually decided to take both.

Well, maybe you´ve noticed, I´ve reached 250 followers. Wow! I actually never expected that to happen when I started my blog last august. Of course I want to celebrate so I will do a giveaway as promised, but I have to wait a few more days, since not all of the goodies are here yet.

Have a nice day!

Lippmann Happy Birthday over BB Couture Napa Valley Red

Goodmorning ladies!

Last week I showed you Napa Valley Red by BB Couture. And I also told you I finally got some Lippmann polishes. So I thought it would be nice to use Lippmann Happy Birthday over Napa Valley Red. And it was an awesome combo!! I actually liked Happy Birthday more than I expected. Seeing swatches of it I thought the glitter might be a little too big for my liking. But it´s really not as huge as it seems on some pics.

This is only one coat over Napa Valley Red. I actually think you can wear this glitter on its own, but you do need around 3 coats, or 5 when you don´t want to see any nail anymore.

Happy Birthday is a multicolor glitter in different shapes and sizes. I really think it has the perfect name, it looks very festive!

Wish you all a pleasant day!

Lippmann Wicked Game

Hi guys!

My very first time showing you a Lippmann, yay!! I finally got my hands on some of them thanks to a very nice MUA lady. She got me the Layer Cake set. It consists of 3 mini Lippmann polishes and Wicked Game was one of them. I´m also waiting for the All That Jazz Trio which another MUA lady sent me but hasn´t arrived yet. That one does have the big bottles which I really like.
But for people who would like to try Lippmann first before they buy their expensive bottles, the Layer Cake set is perfect! Three very different shades.

Ok, so today I´m showing you Wicked Game. It is quite sheer. I used 3 coats, but maybe a 4th would have been better. It reminded me of Koh Glamourous Purple, but with a lot better application. Remember when I showed you that? It was horrible. Although I still have the idea it was me to blame, since I know many ladies that love Koh and their application.

Wicked Game is lavender/lilac purple with a green and silver/grey duochrome. Very nice and not too edgy for work.

It is some sort of frost, that´s why it´s a bit streaky, but really hardly visible. I like this shade! But hey, how could I not like it, since I´m a duochrome lover.

Just a few days ago I found out there is a dupe for this pretty, it´s Wet ´n Wild Gray´s Anatomy. I see a lot of bank accounts smiling now. For the price of a full size Lippmann you can buy 8 bottles of the Wet ´n Wild. Unfortunately Wet ´n Wild is not available overhere, but for the US ladies this is good news.

Have a great day!
