Snow White & the Huntsman by Deborah Lippman

Dark Side of the Moon
Prelude to a Kiss
When Deborah Lippman's Snow White & the Huntsman duo was first introduced, I had figured that we be getting a pair of original colours but it seems that the only thing new about these two polishes is the box that they came in!  Dark Side of the Moon (a deep wine) and Prelude to a Kiss (a light ballet pink) are part of the existing line and aren't unique in any way. But on the plus side of the situation, you'd been getting two full sized polishes at a lower price than buying them separately and that's definitely an advantage.

Both of these polishes have a great formula.  There's just something really smooth and flexible about DL polishes that makes them more shiny than the majority out there and they are more durable than most.  Both polsihes lasted 4 days without noticeable wear but both needs 3 coats for total coverage, especially PTAK because of its light colour.

Ask me which colour I prefer, I'll say that PTAK beats of DSOTM because it's just tough to top a good neutral.  They go with everything and frankly, I got a ton of compliments when I wore it.

I didn't go to see Snow White & the Hunstman but my sister did and said it was boring.  I took take her word for it and then I went to see the Avengers for the thrid time.  I wonder why I would do that...

MARRY ME SKINNY MAN IN THE BLACK SUIT!!!

Deborah Lippman to Release Snow White & the Huntsman Nail Polish

I've hit the nail on the head (yes, that terrible pun was intended) again in guessing which upcoming movie would have a nail polish line.  Deborah Lippman will be releasing its Snow White & the Huntman polishes in May.  Looks like it's limited to just two colours but if this polish is the same quality as Yellow Brick Road then I am buying that purple polish and using this news as another excuse to post of photo of Chris Hemsworth. Now if I'm lucky, I'll get that Catwoman polish nail that I've been dreaming so hard for!

You're Welcome!

Yellow Brick Road by Deborah Lippman

After a good long spell of unemployment, I'm finally starting a new job on Monday and since it's an office environment, I'm going to be limited to a lot more traditional colours during the weekdays. But weekends are going to be an all crazy colour spectacular and that brings me to my latest purchase.  I treated myself to two of the more higher priced polishes around, one of them being Deborah Lippman's Yellow Brick Road.

I always stalled on buying DB polish despite a lot of devotion to the brand from so many polish bloggers.  The main reason was that I wasn't really blown away by the colour range. I feel that for a higher price, I want to see something a little more unique by way of colour choices.  I know that the line has a lot of beloved glitters, but glitter isn't really my big thing.

Rah, Rah, Rah Mama, Ramalama Ding Dong, Dream Mah Mah Mah Mah!
The only polish I was interested in was Yellow Brick Road, the polish worn by Lady Gaga during her performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards.  Normally, I'm not really interested in what celebrities are wearing but I really liked the look of this polish so I figured now was the time to try the brand.  If YBR is any indication of the quality of Lippman polishes, I think that I will make the splurge more often.  The best word I could use describe the quality of this polish is smooth.  It applied so easily, dried quicker than other polishes I own and is exceptionally durable.  I'm on my third day of wear and there isn't one nick or chip anywhere on my nails.  I really like the jelly finish and what surprised me even more is that yellow polishes are notorious for streaky, uneven application, a problem that this polish doesn't have.  I definitely didn't waste my money on this one!
