lippmann bad romance

zoya nova



i'm all blinged out today. astra as a pedi but i'll spare you feet pics.
i tried out BR over black for a mani. i like BR...but i think i should have used 2 coats to get more sparkle because the glitter isn't quite the glittery, shiny, crushed glass sparkle like Red Ruby Slippers. i had to really work to get the glitter off the brush too. i wish Deb had spent more time on the formula...it's like she stopped mid-way and then just released it w/o trying it out first.

OPI Catch Me In Your Net.
Shimmery goodness in a bottle.
These must be new pigments because every brand is releasing this finish all of a sudden. I don't love that all the fall releases seem to be various colors in this finish but I love this one.

I used 2 coats but I think 3 would have been better...Luckily with a distracting shimmer it's easy to hide the bald spots :)

so for New Year's I decided to bling up my rescue beauty lounge chinoise mani with an untried.
nails inc trafalgar sq. i have no idea where it came from or if there are anymore like it...nails inc has so many random exclusives...it's killed me to keep up.

it looks quite dramatic and jelly-like in the pictures...but now...an hour later. i can see that it's really just a brighter red essie ruby slippers. i love it...but i need to be more creative with what i layer trafalgar sq over next.

and resolutions...i have one.
to bring you pictures of the rest of my nails inc...before i add to the family...stay tuned...see if i make it through!

lippmann ruby red slippers. the clear winner out of the celebrate set. it's gorgeous on it's own but it needs 3 coats to build up to opaque and with that it becomes harder to get smooth.
i layered it over illamasqua boosh this time and it's wearing like iron.
it was available by itself at lippmann.com but it's showing OOS...hopefully it will show up again.

i'm pulling out an old picture of this one. it's too hazy today to get a new pic.
gorgeous color from lancome...sadly it's been d/c.... it's htf.... and it's a mini in a fat bottle with a mop for a brush. what were they thinking?
good thing the color is amazing!

Zoya Nova
one of the new ultra glitter collection from Zoya.
it took 3 coats to be opaque but i love jelly with suspended glitter so i'm good!
gorgeous glittery goodness for a crisp fall day.
