Simply Sweet Sundays

Good Afternoon Babes! Today I have Deborah Lippmann's Some Enchanted Evening to share with you. S.E.E. has a clear base with rose pink glitter and hexi's. I layered 1 coat over 2 coats of OPI's Steady As She Rose. Application and formula were really good, and it dries fast and smooth with no bumps. This is the perfect glitter for someone that isn't to crazy about glitter, its very soft and delicate and could probably even be worn to work. For the pictures below I used to tc as it was very glossy on its own.

Just for fun I really had to try mattifying this look and I must say that I really fell in love with it like this...

What do you think of Some Enchanted Evening? I really love this and I'm mad that its gone untried for so long. Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by :o)

Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance

I decided to post two for Brittany today AND I really just wanted to swatch Bad Romance by Deborah Lippmann! Bad Romance is a black jelly base with big purple glitter and hexagonal glitter. The formula is good and its opaque in two thin coats. You really want to watch your cuticles because cleanup really sucks on these, and the glitter can be a nightmare with a rushed paint job. Dry time is is not to bad on its own but I opted for one coat of Seche Vite because it wasn't that shiny on its own and I wanted it dry asap. I know this has been swatched like crazy for a while but I still wanted it and I love it just as much as Ruby Red Slippers! Here's  how it came out:

I REALLY love this polish, its amazing! If you don't have it, you just really have to see it in person because its awesome!

What do you think about Bad Romance?

Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues

I was super excited to try this one after I swatched Ruby Red Slippers! Lady Sings the Blues has a blue black jelly base with silver regular sized and hexi glitter. The application was terrible, the formula is very thick and the brush holds a ton of polish. In the pictures below I used 2 coats. If you look you will see that cleanup was no walk in the park.

I do love the color and it has good dry time but I will have to make sure I have plenty (and I now have all my tools and supplies to make my mani's look much better <3 ) of time on my hands to see if it comes out better next time.

What do you think?

Fierce Friday: Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers

Fierce Fridays is something fun I want to do for my blog. What I'm going to do is post a fierce polish, stamp-icure or whatever I might come across that I believe is to die for. Now this polish is nowhere near new and has been on a lot of blogs, but I had to have it. I have been dragging my feet on purchasing Deborah Lippmann (because its pretty expensive $16-$20 per bottle), so I chose 4 amazing ones when I was finally ready to and this was one! Today I have Ruby Red Slippers which is fabulous! It has a black jelly base with red regular and hexagonal glitter! The sun was out so I swatched it and ran outside to take pictures so that you can see how amazing it looks on my skin tone in natural light!

It took 3 thin coats to reach opacity. I've seen others say that it was a difficult paint, but I thought it was amazing for it to be a jelly polish that has so much hexi glitter. The formula wasn't thick at all, it doesn't dry to a rough or bumpy finish like some jam packed glitters (its smooth so I used a regular top coat), but you should definitely be careful around the cuticles. Dry time was pretty good which surprised me because jellies usually take a bit more time in my opinion (OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston), but I don't have many jellies so I will find out along the way. Here are a few more pictures from different angles for you:

I hope you enjoyed my Fierce Friday babes!
