Ahhhhh the sweet sounds of the Beastie Boys and their Paul's Boutique album. Anyone else love the Beasties? I am really into all types of music. I have a vast CD collection of music from Monk monastery music, country, rap, rock, classical, you name it I have some of it! When I grabbed Deborah Lippmann's Single Ladies, my thoughts just kept singing "Hey ladies, get funky". I don't know why only single ladies get to wear this sexy red-yes I am single, but you ladies out there with a partner-wear this anyway and be proud!
Man am I on a weird kick today eh? I've been bored with my artsy fartsy bottle shots lately. I still think it's kind of silly, but thought I'd start having some more fun with it. So here is my baby Sam and DL Single Ladies.
He's been jealous of Checkers since I show her more often. So he was nice enough to pose and look interested for you! This is a dramatic, sexy deep dark jelly red. I have to say though, that I hate DL's formula. It is runny, patchy and this jelly was stringy. Whenever I got to the tip of my nail and removed the brush, I got a mozzarella string going from the nail to the brush. Then it would leave a little extra dot of polish on my tips. Not cool. I really am not going to buy any more of her polishes. Here are inside and outside pictures.

This color was hard to capture indoors, so I used flash so you could see the beauty of the jelly. Yes the polish is a pain in the ass, but it sure is pretty. Plus I just love jellies. Next I grabbed RBL Insouciant which I posted alone
here and Bundle monster BM223. This really came out awesome, but is hard to see. My friend Oreo would call it 'subtle'.

Right now blogger is being stupid and it won't let me upload more pictures. I took so many to try and capture the design. This is really cool to look at, but it certainly is NOT screaming loud. You have to get up close and personal to see it. Maybe that's a good thing, if you're single and using this sexy red to get the attention of someone you like! Hey now, maybe that's what Deborah was thinking!
I actually really love these two reds together. I got alot of compliments on it. I also get asked if I free hand the tips. The answer is yes I do. I tried tape, but it always pulled off the stamp design so I figured out how to free hand it. I think it looks really good! Practice certainly helps.
One last shout out-my giveaway ends Wednesday at midnight NY time. Get your entries in! Who else is loving this jelly red? Do you like the subtle or are you more a loud in your face kind of girl? Isn't Sam a cutey? He just loves the spotlight!
Sam is a cutey ;)
ReplyDeleteand you nails look great!
That is a great red! Very Sexy! The design is subtle too. I like more subtle designs..unless the polish is glittery! Sam is a cute kitty!

Ooooh I love this! I don't have any of the DL cremes (just all of her glitters haha) but they always look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteplus, get excited because the extra fun surprise polish I included in your package since I'm a dimwit and the first one got sent back to me would look great stamped with this color! :)

ReplyDelete@Carly-I'm hoping it'll get here! Am not a good waiter!! I'm a creme girl!
ReplyDelete@Sandra-It is cool isn't it?
Love the bottle shot with Sam! The stamping is great, too.
ReplyDelete@KarenD-My stamping is a lot better with practice-I'll tell Sam you like his pic!
ReplyDeleteI think that the color really looks nice afterwards even though it was runny and patchy.. But I was wondering how many layers you've put on to get that nice schellac look. I look the deep red color!! :-)
ReplyDelete@Theresa N-I do base coat, 2 nail polish layers, seche vite, then stamp the design and then a thick layer of CND super shiney-I love the shiny look !

You have such gorgeous nails!!!! Bummer about the DL formula, I really like this color though!!
ReplyDeletePS - cuuutest kitties ever!
I like the polish just for the name but that stinks about the formula you would think that at that price they would have an awesome formula, it's very pretty though, and your kitteh is adorable!
ReplyDeletenails + cat = good combination :D we're all crazy about nails & cats! :)) haha Sam is adorable! :)
