Deborah Lippmann Polish Haul

Yet more polish goodness! The only Lippmann polish I had before this bunch came was the fabulous Bad Romance. Since I liked that one so much, I picked some more of the glittery polishes as well as a couple of others. The haul is comprised of Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Wicked Game, Call Me Irresponsible, Ruby Red Slippers, Don't Tell Mama, Across The Universe & Lady Sings The Blues.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Gorgeous, metallic gunmetal grey shade. It's a dark one, for sure, but definitely not black. Applies well, two coats give the shade that appears in the bottle. Good, glossy finish even before you add a topcoat.

Wicked Game

Silver base with a green & pink duochrome. This bears a slight resemblance to OPI's Not Like The Movies. The differences between the two are Wicked Game's lighter base shade & Not Like The Movies has a slight amount of glitter in it & the green tinge is slightly more obvious. Again, two coats gives the exact bottle shade but you can easily get away with one coat of this particular colour.

Wicked Game

Call Me Irresponsible

A bright, mid purple. No shimmer or glitter to this shade, it's a creme & a super glossy one at that. It'll take three coats to get it close to the bottle colour because this particular polish is quite sheer.

Ruby Red Slippers

This stunning polish is one of my two favourites from this haul. Black base encrusted with red glitter in small flecks & larger, hexagonal pieces. RRS is what I wanted China Glaze's Lubu Heels to be. The glitter absolutely pops in this one yet it doesn't feel overly rough once applied.

Don't Tell Mama

Deep, dark, shimmery blue-green. It isn't quite teal because, depending on the light, the shimmers flash blue or green. I found the initial coat to be quite thin & streaky but a second soon fixed everything & had it looking like it did in the bottle. Very glossy finish to this one.

Don't Tell Mama

Across The Universe

My other favourite from this haul! Across The Universe has a deep blue jelly base packed with green & blue glitter in small flecks & larger hexagonal ones. Two to three coats gives the full effect. This shade is really glossy & makes me think of oceans for some reason.

Lady Sings The Blues

Like Across The Universe, Lady Sings The Blues has a blue jelly base, although it's a touch lighter. The glitter, once again, varies in size & shape. The predominant glitter shade is silver but some are a pale blue. Two to three coats give a good finish.

Lady Sings The Blues

I'm turning into quite the fan of the Deborah Lippmann polishes, especially the glitters. They all have a glossier finish than other brands I've tried & the glitter finishes don't feel quite as rough & bumpy as some. The bottles are very simple, square & elegant looking.
