Deborah Lippmann Porn - Holidays 2

She's Always a Woman is a set that I had seen somewhere on a blog, a magazine, an email...I don't remember. It's the set that contains the polishes that Ms. Lippmann used at the Kate Spade show when she came up with gingham nails. MDAMO immediately nixed gingham nails with some derogatory comment that I no longer remember specifically, but the cobalt. I loved the cobalt. So I picked these up, though they are minis, and I have them to show you today.

Pretty silver box, classic Lippmann class and quality.

The inside, sorry about the glare and the softness. I was having some technical difficulties.
However, you can see what you need to here.

First in the lineup of swatches is Putty in your Hands. A...putty. It is a darker version of Silly Putty, in my view, and is neutral and wearable and blah blah blah. And I mean that as blah. It's OK. It has a lot of grey in it, it's more flattering on me than the Forsaken Collection's Human Nature.

I wonder if some Fairydust would help this out. It's fine. I'm just not a fan of these colors. I just don't find them to be that pretty.

Raspberry Beret. A chunky flaky? I'm not sure I'd call this a glitter. Maybe? Very rough texture, kind of a jelly...It's pretty but it needed a top coat. A thick one.

It is an odd color and a more odd finish. Jury is out. I'm not sure. I'd have to wear it. As these are all swatches it's possible I will wear it, for sure. I...errrrr...I just don't know.

Lastly, a blurry pic of the one I bought the set for. Oooo. I love these rich rich colors.,

My Prerogative. Yes it is. It's my...Prer...wait. I think it might be my prerogative to have something identical.

Two nails are Lippmann, two are Cult. Can you pick them out?

Here's another shot:

How about now? Better lighting. Pretty damn close, huh. If anything, the Cult is even richer in tone. If I had a hat on, I'd throw it on the ground and stomp on it. DAMN this is annoying to me. It's my fault. I fell in love with My Prerogative and thought...it's not going to be almost identical to Time Traveler. Time Traveler is much darker.
No. It's not. It's a half a tic darker. Only if you have bloggers optical syndrome will you even see a difference. Yes, it's Time Traveler on the ring and pinky nails. Time Traveler has a touch more navy in it, but honestly. Is the average person going to know the difference. No.

One more to bring it home.

Bah.

A pretty collection, but unless one of the other colors grabs you by the throat...go with the Cult. It's a lot less, the quality is good, you'd be supporting an independent and it's basically the same color.

**stomps around the room**

**sigh**

Happy Talons. Bah humbug.
