Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance

It's back  to school today! :)  I'm really excited to see my friends and start my new program!

I'm wearing Bad Romance today!

Bad Romance is basically the same as the gorgeous Ruby Red Slippers. only with purple glitter. It is as beautiful and I love it just as much - I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing for Across the Universe. I had no problem with application, two coats were enough for me. It dried fairly fast too. The only thing I'm dreading: removal.

Alright I can't write much more, I have to go to school!!! 

Have a great day!

Left home with 6...

You guys might remember that I left for vacations with 6 bottles of polish... Well, I went insane on the trip and bought 10 polishes.

I got my hands on my first-ever bottle of Butter London and H&M polishes! I am dying to try them on!!

Here are my purchases:

From L to R: Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe; Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance and Butter London Old Blighty

From L to R: L.A. Girl Live on Stage; Deep Sea Mica; Matte Baby Pink and Matte Blue Twilight

From L to R: Color Club Age of Aquarius; Ms Socialite and H&M Blue my Mind.

I'm so so happy with my purchases! I haven't been able to find Butter London here in Montreal, but got lucky went I went to Toronto. (I didn't know they have them at Holt Renfrew!?).

The bottles of nails polish from the last two picture I got for less then 20$! Needless to say, I am a happy gal!

Lippmann Collection Marquee Moon

Morning! Weekend is here finally!
I hope you all had a wonderful week!

Today, I have Marquee Moon for you! Metallic silver base with silver hexagonal sequins.

From Deborah Lippmann:

Marquee Moon was created for the genius designers RODARTE's fall fashion collection and worn on the runway. Each nail is supposed to look different. You might get one 'sequin' on one nail and 10 'sequins' on the next nail. That is the way it is supposed to come out of the bottle so dont TRY to make the 'sequins'' come out and look the same on each nail. Deconstructed is the look on both of these shades [talking about Marqueen Moon and Funky Chunky].

I LOVE THIS!

I know many did not like Funky Chunky, but I'm glad to say that Marquee Moon is nothing like it! The silver sequins in Marquee Moon are bigger than in Funky Chunky, and there are a lot less [in terms of quantity] in the bottle. This means that the brush doesn't pick up as many hexagonal glitter so application is a lot better, I find. It was also easier to control. You don't have to worry about where the sequins are, or if there's too many sequins on top of the others, because the chances are that you won't have that many on your nails. As you can see from the first picture above, my right ring finger was sequin-less.

Funky chunky:
Also, since the sequins are bigger, a top coat doesn't change the look. With Funky Chunky, I thought it was better to wear it without a top coat.

If you didn't like Funky Chunky, I think you should give Marquee Moon a chance. It looks very nice in person, and it only took 2 coats to achieve bottle color, whereas with FC, after 2 coats, it was still a bit sheer.

What do you think? Did you like Funky Chunky and will you try/have you tried Marquee Moon?

My New Stuff!!!

My aunt and uncles just got back from Washington D.C. and we're kind enough to bring me my packages!

First, my RBL haul!

Unfortunately, I did not receive Dead Calm, because it's on backorder. Bummer.

Finally, I got Lippmann Collection Marquee Moon!! I've been dying to get this one since I saw it swatched on other nail blogs!! I'm glad it got here safe!
Yay! I'll try to get these swatched as soon as possible!!
Have a great week!

Lippmann Collection Celebration Set

Finally! I have some pictures of the Lippmann Collection Celebration Set. I'm a big procrastinator, what can I say?!

Funky Chunky:
Sheer black-based polish with little black hexagonal glitter. Now I've heard really bad reviews about this polish, but I saw a picture Vampy Varnish I really liked it, so I thought I'd give it a chance. Turns out, even though it's not the most fun polish to apply, the effect here is pretty cool! Like Ms. Lippmann said, it's something very futuristic. 2 coats
Huh? Pretty cool right? Sorry about the random hair on the nail in the first picture btw.
The key to having a cool look with this one is to not put a top coat on and just let the glitter be: don't try to position them and make it look "good". It'll look good on its own.

Superstar:
Brown based packed glitter polish. I really liked how much glitter was stuffed in this polish. At first, I didn't really like the color on me, but the more I have it on, the more I like it. I don't know if I'll be wearing it a lot though, because removal was a b***h... Very nice, though! See it sparkle in the sun!

Ruby Red Slippers:
This one was the one I was most excited about, and it did NOT disappoint!!! I love this sooo much! It might be one of my favorite nail polish! Black based polish with red normal and hexagonal glitter. It's gorgeous. That's it, that's all. 3 coats
GORGEOUS!

Next week-

Since October is breast cancer awareness month, I will be wearing/showing you pink nail polish as much as I can. I say "as much as I can" because I don't have that many pinks and I don't really like pink, so I don't know how long I can keep a color on my nails. Nevertheless, I want to honor all women out there. I'll try get in some of Lippmann Collection's Anniversary set in for the weekend too.

Enjoy the weekend!

Finally, we can celebrate!

The other package I've been expecting was my swap package from a great gal from MUA.

I got Lippmann Collection's 10th Anniversary Set! Hooray!!!



The polishes are:
Superstar, a brown based glitter polish;
Funky chunky, black nail polish filled with hexagonal glitters (can't wait to try this on!;);
and Ruby Red Slippers, sheer black-based polish filled with red glitters and hexagonal glitters too!!!!!!!!!!!

I seriously cannot wait to try these polishes on. Especially Funky Chunky and Ruby Red Slippers. Superstar, I have tried on before and it just wasn't for me, unfortunately.

I will be swatching these soon, hopefully. I have been buried in assignments and group meeting for school. Sorry!

(MAC swatches will be coming soon too!)
