Where have I been? Sometimes I get straight on to a band wagon with a new brand, and other times it takes me considerably longer.
I’d always pretty much ignored Deborah Lippmann polishes. They didn’t come to the UK for a good while, and when they did, I just passed over the chunky glitter and decided that it wasn’t very me.
And yet somehow this little number seeped into my consciousness. Don’t ask me how, or why, but it somehow made its way onto my Christmas list. And here it is.
This was my New Year’s Eve manicure, and I ended up wearing it for well over a week, as I developed the flu on New Year’s Eve and changing my polish was a million miles away from my priorities (which were basically sleeping and drinking as much herbal tea as I could).
I layered this over the silver foil from the Fearne Cotton Midnight Manicure set that I blogged about over Christmas. It’s not quite dense enough to layer up alone, and it’s an expensive polish so you wouldn’t want to waste it. The circular pieces of glitter are larger than I am used to but I like it. It is sparkly and spangly and not too over the top or obnoxious. Yes, I wore this for New Year’s Eve but I think you could get away with this any time of the year.
So there we go – my first Deborah Lippmann. I have a feeling it won’t be the last either…
What do you think? Do you have any of these?

I wish I didn’t love Deborah Lippmann as much as I do. I do think that some of her cremes and shimmers are very standard and non-unique though, and for the price, there is no way I’d spend on them! The glitters are another story. I have Across the Universe, Glitter in the Air and Razzle Dazzle, all of which are ahmayzing. Razzle Dazzle stains like crazy though 😐 Today Was a Fairytale always looks super pretty, I love the slight tint in the base, although I can never quite justify £18 for a silver glitter… Looks lovely on you though. Essay over! xx
I love her glitter polishes, like Emma I have found the cremes to be meh, but would sell my kids for every bottle of glitter!
I have Razzle Dazzle, but am after Bad Romance, Accross the Universe, Happy Birthday and Tody was a Fairytale
Across the Universe is stunning, and Happy Birthday has a child-like charm to it – I love layering it over a neon pink on my toes (it’s a bit too lurid for the hands).
I have a few… Razzle Dazzle is the best polish ever. Period. But the Mermaid’s Dream that has just been released is not far behind.
Oooh pretty! I have yet to succumb but every pic I have ever seen has me pretty tempted, suspect it wont be long!
I don’t have any Lippman yet but I absolutely love this! I thik I may have to invest ready for next Christmas.
