2 coats over China Glaze Refresh Mint

OPI The Man With The Golden Gun is an 18k gold topcoat. The flakes are larger than Sephora by OPI It's Real but smaller than Zoya Gilty. I'll have a comp up soon.



I didn't love the application because the base is pretty thick, and the gold flakes are smaller than I expected. It is pretty, though, and I don't regret purchasing it.



Golden Gun retails for $30 and is available at Ulta.

Yes, another set. This one is a mini set of three polishes. I just love Lippmann's mini bottles - so cute.

3 coats

Deborah Lippmann Putty In Your Hands is a taupe grey creme. Putty is definitely an appropriate name for this one. It reminded me a bit of Waking Up In Vegas, but Putty is a bit darker and warmer.

2 coats

Deborah Lippmann My Perogative is a navy blue creme. It's a bit deeper than China Glaze First Mate.

2 coats

Deborah Lippmann Raspberry Beret is a raspberry pink based flakie. The flakes are exactly the same as Sweet Dreams, but the base color is definitely different:

Deborah Lippmann Sweet Dreams, Raspberry Beret

The formula on all three of these is really nice. My Perogative is especially great. Raspberry Beret dries with some texture, so top coat will be necessary.



Deborah Lippmann She's Always A Woman set retails for $25 and is available at Barneys.

Sugar Plum Fantasy is trio of full size polishes available exclusively at Bloomingdales. All three shades are packed with flecked shimmer. There seems to be a lot of that this season with Deb.

4 coats, 1 coat over Illamasqua Boosh

4 coats, 1 coat over Milani Neon Purple

Is it just me, or has Deb released a boatload of new polishes for Holiday 2012? I've counted five trios and two singles. Yay for lots of choices, but my wallet kind of hates her. Moving on.

2 coats, with top coat

I love holiday collections because it usually means lots of sparkly polishes. Deborah Lippmann's Rock This Town trio is no exception. These complex flecked shimmers are perfect for the upcoming holiday season.



I left these pics huge so you can click and see all the different colors packed in these polishes.

Deborah Lippmann Moon Dance has an overall greyish purple tone. I love the finish, and this one is easily my favorite of the bunch.

3 coats

Deborah Lippmann Phoenix Rising is a golden copper shimmer. Very autumnal.

3 coats

Deborah Lippmann Chain Reaction is a golden olive shimmer. So full of awesome.



The formula on these is great. They have a nice consistency and offer a great deal of control. I also like that they're sheer but buildable to full opacity. I see some layering combinations in my future.



I love this set, and it's way more interesting than her fall offerings. I'm happy that Deb has taken a step back from Happy Birthday glitter to create something truly beautiful.
