So I showed you Brilliant Bordeaux earlier & this is the 2nd of the 3 I’m putting up today. I loved this color & then I got a bit of “haven’t I seen this before somewhere?” Yes, I think I did. I adore Polish Insomniac & recently I was lurking her Top 20 Nail Polish list & spied Deborah Lippman’s Lady Sings the Blues.
I don’t think it is DEAD ON but it definitely gives me the same look & I’m quite happy with the under $5 price tag. This is so incredibly opaque that you only need 2 thin coats. I used 2 for more glitter. I disected it a bit & found that the glitter is indeed silver & not a light blue or anything. It won’t show up silver though because the inky blue is so…inky!
You can see from Polish Insomniac’s swatches of Deborah Lippman’s Lady Sings the Blues that it isn’t a dead on dupe because that one is a jelly. This dries super fast, probably because it is so thin & pigmented. I didn’t add top coat but if you did, that would make these two even more similar I think!
I think this is positively perfect for the winter season, almost like a dark skyline. This just goes on perfectly. Love. Although it is definitely the least flashy of the 3 I’m showing you today, I think it is super wearable!
What do you think? Love it or leave it? What do you think of it in comparison to the Deborah Lippman?
