Lippmann Collection Don't Tell Mama

This polish could have been named after me, because "Don't Tell Mama" is practically a life mantra for me. Oy, if my mom knew half the crap that I did, she would probably keel over and die.

I'm wearing two coats here -- the formula was pretty good on this. Pictures were kind of a pain, because I don't really think they accurately capture the polish. It is a very dark shimmery forest green. When you look at it indoors, it almost looks black, but outdoors, you can totally see the green peeping through. It is a super gorgeous color! In my pictures, it kind of looks teal, but rest assured, it is most definitely green. I really like Lippmann Collection polishes - I just wish they weren't so darn expensive!! I will have to wait for another promotion or something to pick up a few more :-)

Lippmann Collection Shut Up and Drive

This is the first polish from the Lippmann Collection that I've tried, and I am already in love! When I first saw the name of this polish, I couldn't get Rihanna's song out of my head. But, after I tried it on, the only thing I could think about was how this polish is absolutely gorgeous and has already made it onto my list of Top 10 favorites!

The formula was great -- just a tad sheer, so I am wearing three coats here. You can still see a little visible nail line, but I really didn't feel like applying any more coats. The polish is a princess-y pink jelly polish that is packed with glitter and has a "wet" look to it at all times. The whole time I wore it, I couldn't stop staring at my hands and saying, "Wow, that is so pretty!" I have a feeling this color will be making future appearances on my nails!

I got my Lippmann Collection polishes at Nordstrom, where they retail for $15. There are also special sets of three polishes that you can buy for $35, so that makes your per-bottle cost a little cheaper. You can also buy them off the Lippman Collection website at www.lippmanncollection.com. I've also heard from people that her stuff is available at select Bath & Body Works stores, but I checked a few near me, and no luck :-(
