Nails I Love
DEBORAH LIPPMANN
Lady Sings The Blues
Hi Goddesses
Tonight I have
something so incredibly special, unbelievably gorgeous, breathtakingly
beautiful and just plain hot damn awesome …. Goddesses, take your seats for a
performance from DEBORAH LIPPMANN Lady Sings The Blues.
Phew. I need to catch my breath. This is quite simply and without doubt the
most beautiful nail polish I have EVER worn.
The colour is perfect, the glitter is perfect, the shine is perfect …..
ah, I could just stare at it ALL day.
And I have. Literally.
Lady Sings The Blues
is a very sheer navy jelly packed with the patented Deborah Lippmann house
special – micro glitter, and different pieces of hex glitter, all tonally similar. For LSTB, the glitter is grey, lavender and
blue and flashes different shades in different lights. In the car, some of the glitter flashed
turquoise which was HOLY MOLY, but I haven’t been able to recreate it in the
house L
There’s just
something about the perfection of this navy that drives this polish beyond the
bounds of what beautiful should be.
There’s such a perfect juxtaposition between the dark and decadent navy
gloss and the light-catching sparkle of the glitter … this is like staring at a
galaxy all day – deep, mysterious and utterly compelling.
Although the base in
Lady Sings The Blues is dark enough to wear on its own, I prefer to layer
mine. I put this one over 1 coat of
Color Club Blue-topia, an amazing navy jelly that’s almost a one coater, and
this gave LSTB a perfect base from which to sing and soar. I also added 2 coats of Poshe after LTSB, and the 2nd
coat made a massive difference.
For those that are
interested, I also did 1 accent nail in Across The Universe, Lippmann’s other
special blue, and I was surprised by how much contrast there was. As I’ve said before, ATU is all about ocean
greens, and LSTB really highlights that.
ATU also has a much paler base – more of a dark teal.
If you don’t own
this nail varnish, you must. Simple
as. Lady Sings The Blues is glamourous, fabulous
and scandalously divine. You know by now
that I Don’t Do Blue polishes, but seriously, if I was only ever allowed 1
polish in the world it would be this one.
Stunning. Spectacular. Intense. Stellar. Compelling.
I hope you get the
chance to enjoy her for yourself J
Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
