Midnight Malibu is a deep blue with multi-colored microglitter. It applied very well, but dried with some texture. I think I used two coats of Seche Vite to smooth this one out. Sooo gorgeous.

Silver dazzle is so awesome. It's like glamorous asphalt! I'd recommend applying these one coat glitters carefully so you only have to apply one coat. The second coat was a little tough to apply. Other than that, though, Silve Dazzle gets 5 stars, a cookie, and two thumbs up from me.

I ended up with 2/3 of the Texas collection, which is a giant leap from the three I originally planned to get. Typical, eh? There's something about seeing the bottles in person that just makes me want one of everything. Words of a true addict. :)
I'll start with the jellies. Two coats of each.
Do You Think I'm Tex-y? Berry pink.
Guy Meets Gal-veston. Coral. This one is 3 coats.
Houston We Have a Purple. Red-toned purple. Totally reminds me of Miami Beet.
Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em. Red-toned hot pink.
First of all, it kind of bugs me that OPI claims to have created this new, innovative finish called the "sorbet-like look." Really, OPI? They're jellies. Awesome jellies, but jellies just the same. Second, what an awkward term. Sorbet-like look? Even the chick in their promo video had a tough time saying it repeatedly. *gigantic eye roll*
Moving on...2 coats of each
Austin-tatious Turquoise. Teal with bright blue/violet flecked shimmer.
Don't Mess With OPI. Dusty green. It's a little more grassy than my picture.
I Vant To Be A-Lone Star. Yay, another pale blue for Spring. This one has a relatively obvious silver shimmer. It's definitely not as secretive as China Glaze Sea Spray's shimmer.
It's Totally Fort Worth It. Pearly grey with pink shimmer. The pink is visible on the nail, I just didn't capture it. The brushstrokes aren't as obvious once the polish is dry. I'm wearing this as a full mani now and will have better pictures soon.
A few of the colors are more interesting than I anticipated. I don't think any of these are must-haves for me. If you're a jelly lover, you should definitely check the pink/coral half of this collection.

I've finally decided to try Bad Fairy. Despite my excitement for its release, I put it away as soon as I received it because it looked so orange in the bottle. I was almost certain it wouldn't suit me. It's not as bad as I feared, but I still don't see myself wearing this again.

I guess this is turning into a Lippmann week, eh? Razzle Dazzle is a gorgeous raspberry glitter. Love it! It definitely makes up for the disappointment of Lady Sings The Blues (more on that later). Luckily, Razzle Dazzle is now available for sale separately on deborahlippmann.com.

Between The Sheets is a fuchsia creme. Before I became a polish junkie, shades like this were all I wore. I'm glad to have finally seen the light, but it's always nice to revisit colors I once loved dearly. I love DL cremes. They apply so nicely and are typically very pigmented. BTS is no different.
