NAILS I LOVE - Lippmann - RUBY RED SLIPPERS

Nails I Love

Nails I Love is written to celebrate some of the most beautiful nail varnishes on earth and to help you choose which colours and styles will suit you. 

Each posting will feature details about the colour as well as photos.  I guarantee every photo will show the varnish as it looks on your fingers, otherwise, what’s the point ? 

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.

DEBORAH LIPPMANN – Ruby Red Slippers

This is Lippmann’s legendary Ruby Red Slippers, a nail varnish that is fun, funky and totally redefines glamour.  Red glitter and sequins are suspended in a browny black base varnish.  Layer on to your heart’s desire for a look that is original, modern and the envy of your friends.  The red is bright and happy and although it’s not solid, catches the light to give an impression of jewelled nails.

I have used 2 coats, but to be honest 3 might have been better – this looks like red fire stars twinkling in the night sky.  The more you apply, the more depth you get to the red.  Sensational and unique.  A keeper.

DEBORAH LIPPMANN – Waking Up In Vegas

So this is Lippmann’s famous pale taupe.  Matte and thick, this almost goes on in 1 coat.  Colour-wise it’s puttyish, a pure medium grey which begins to take on a taupier hue the longer you stare at it.  (It goes on much greyer than it looks in the bottle).  Eventually it looks like stone and concrete – grey but not quite.

Very elegant, very classy but slightly lacked the wow factor for me – until I layered it with the divine Glitter In The Air, a creamy suspension of pink and blue sequins.  Somehow, that made all the difference, elevating it from ladylike to yeh-I-like !  J
