Deborah Lippmann Raise Your Glass

Special edition time!

Holt Renfrew (similar to Saks? Bergdorf Goodman? The point is they sell All The Expensive Things) is 175 years old this year! They are having quite the shindig, with 175 products in their distinctive pink colour. Dresses, shoes, bags... all costing more than my monthly take-home, naturally. But I saw that they had  Deborah Lipmann do a special edition nail colour so OF COURSE I had to go check it out, but its not like I have a problem or anything (I have a problem).

ANYWAY, once I saw it I had to own it. The picture I saw in the magazine made it look like a magenta creme, but its actually GLITTERY.

GLITTERY!

Take a look:

I tried to capture the GLITTER but I couldn't quite grasp it. The formula is thick, and it is a glitter effect versus shimmer, so it eats top coat. This is with two coats of Seche Vite.

It is a lovely magenta colour, with an adorable pink glitter. I may not be able to afford the $625 pink Ferragamo flats but I can pick up a cute bottle of nail polish and feel part of the celebration.

Congrats Holts!

Ooooo copper foil!

This is part of the Essie Mirror Metallics collection. There rest of the collection is your standard gold, silver, blue etc. but this copper colour stood out to me. How often do you see this lovely metallic?

Alas, there are some noticeable brush strokes, but the colour! The colour! Perfecto!

Cheers!
