Wet n' Wild~Cougar Attack & Ready to Pounce

Halloween is in one short week and I thought I had better get the last of my fall collections up.  So I spent most of my morning swatching the rest of my Fall 2011 polishes.  There are so many exciting Holiday collections coming out and I can't wait to get my hands on all glittery goodness!  But we do have a few more days left to enjoy the spooky decorations and candy. 
Last week, I stopped into CVS and to my suprise, there was a FULL display of Wet n' Wilds On the Prowl Collection.  I posted a couple weeks ago the 5 polishes I could find last month and you can find that post here.  Since the display was full, I was able to pick up, or I should say, grab the last 2 polishes I needed to complete my set of On the Prowl.  Cougar Attack and Ready to Pounce were each $1.99 and I really don't think there is a better polish out ther for the price. 

Cougar Attack is a sheer brown base with tons of copper glitter.

Ready to Pounce is a dark purply shimmer.  It is beautiful.

I read somewhere that Cougar Attack was a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Superstar.  I had to check this out for myself and this is what I found:

Pretty darn close!  Superstar has just a touch more glitter than Cougar Attack.  But definitely close enough in my book!  Check your CVS one more time if you missed out on this collection, they just might have a full display. 

Something to Look Forwaed To

Do you need a little something to look forward to?  Well, took no further!  I was sent the following press releases and photos today and It's going to be a awesome next few months!  In the upcoming months, Deborah Lippmann is launching several stunning polishes!  Cremes, shimmers, and of course glitter!  Enjoy and get your wish lists updated.

"WARM UP WITH DEBORAH LIPPMANN’S FALL 2011 SHADES

I have worked directly with some of the world’s top fashion designers on everything from ad campaigns to fashion shows. When I set out to select nail looks for the fall 2011 collections, I noticed a common theme among all of my collaborators: warmth. The clothes featured vivid, lush earth tones—think lush greens, rich reds and intense golds.


I wanted to capture a similar heat and earthiness in the accompanying polishes, but with an added punch. BILLIONAIRE, a moody hunter green, BRICK HOUSE, a shimmering rust, and SINGLE LADIES, a flirtatious red, all have warm undertones, which give them a beautiful intensity, but also have a jewel-like quality so they really make nails pop.


SHADE DESCRIPTIONS

Billionaire: moody hunter green (creme)

Brick House: shimmering rust (shimmer)

Single Ladies: flirtatious red (creme)

SHOW WORTHY
Deborah Lippmann’s new shade, STORMY WEATHER, is a collaboration with fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez.


Usually Narciso requests a nude nail to complement his minimalist designs, but for fall 2011 around he wanted something bolder—a color with strength and edge to offset both his collection and the softness of the hair and makeup. For the perfect custom finish, I mixed (and mixed) a new shade by hand in just 24 hours. The final product: an edgy granite that emanated power and intensity. The models who walked the show (and who rarely, if ever, comment on the nail color) gushed over the shade. And so STORMY WEATHER was born an edgy granite (crème) for a strong fall statement.

 Just in time for the holiday season,

Deborah Lippmann Gets the Party started
Nothing says ‘Party’ like the magnetic sparkle of glitter. So for the biggest party season of the year, I’ve created shades that truly dazzle. Get This Party Started, a set of three glitters, was inspired by the overwhelming demand for my best selling Happy Birthday, a glittery party in a bottle. The set includes Happy Birthday, along with two new variations of the sparkling shade: Forget You and Candy Shop. They’re both packed with the same unique hexagon-shaped glitter that gives Happy Birthday its magnificent glint, only Forget You has a sheer black base and Candy Shop a bubblegum pink.

I love how festive all three look and feel, whether wrapped a round a champagne glass or peeping out of a glamorous pump. But what I truly love the most: how a few coats of any shade instantly transform you into the life of the party.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: a party in a bottle (glitter)


FORGET YOU: party all night (glitter)


CANDY SHOP: bubblegum pink (glitter)






XOXO,


Deborah"

Amazing, right?  This is all of the information I have on the new polishes.  I have seen a few other pictures of other polishes, but I haven't received any infomation on those yet.  When I do, I will let you know!

Deborah Lippmann~Glitter in the Air

Hello my new favorite color!  Deborah Lippmann was inspired to create Glitter in the Air by P!nk's performance of her song Glitter in the Air, on the 2010 Grammys.  That performance was so beautiful and amazing, just like this polish.  I have been staring at this polish on my nails for four days now and been trying to think of what I wanted to say about it.  I still can't quite descibe it, except to say that it is beautiful. 

Glitter in the Air is a milky pale sheer blue creme base with pink and light blue larger hex glitter, pieces of small pink and silver glitter with a hint of tiny blue shimmer.  I used 3 coats and topped it with Deborah Lippmann Addicted to Speed top coat.  Perfection!

I got my Glitter in the Air at Nordstom, but you can also find it at http://www.deborahlippmann.com/. 

And for you viewing pleasure, the peformance that inspired the polish, Glitter in the Air~

Deborah Lippmann~I Know Wht Boys Like

I Know What Boys Want is one of the new Deborah Lippmann polishes from her Spring/Summer collection.  You can find this great color and many more at http://www.deborahlippmann.com/, Nordstrom, Barney's, & Neiman Marcus  It is a gorgeous purple/blue or dark periwinkle creme that went on amazingly.  It looks different in different lights, so here are a couple of pictures of I Know What Boys Like.

 Sunshine

Shade

Every time I see the name of this polish, I can't help but think  nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. It is also the name of an 80's song by the Waitresses.  In case you have never heard of it, or have no idea what I am talking about, here is I Know What Boys Like by the Witresses.


**This polish was sent to me for review**

Deborah Lippmann's New Spring & Summer 2011 Shades

If I were stranded on an island and I could only have one line of polish, hands down it would be Deborah Lippmann.  Notice I said line of polish rather than one bottle of polish-I can't imagine life with only one bottle of polish, lol.  Anyways, I was sent this press release for the new Spring Summer polishes by Deborah Lippmann and they are gorgeous! 

 "Girls Just Want To Have Fun – A smooth, vintage coral that everyone can wear because it’s bold yet velvety – a sort of carefree, creamy coral."

"I Know What Boys Like – A creamy periwinkle that credits to both the 80’s and my clients. Several of my clients have asked for interesting blues. This one is a blend of blue and purple with a creamy finish, which gives it a slightly retro look that is so playful and hip."

                                                             
"Yellow Brick Road, a sheer mellow yellow with a jelly finish. The proof that it wears beautifully on all skin tones: it complements me and Lady GaGa, who wore it first for her “Born This Way” performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards."

"Lara’s Theme was created with supermodel Lara Stone is Deborah Lippmann’s newest

celebrity collaboration. It’s a dare to wear shade of hot-hot orange."

As always, you can find these beauties at http://www.deborahlippman.com/, Nordstrom, Barney's New York, & Neiman Marcus.

Which one or four will you be picking up?

Deborah Lippmann, Three for Three!

Deborah Lippmann has done it again, not once but three times!  Every year I love watching the awards shows and the color of the stars nails is becoming just as important as how or what they are wearing.  Deborah Lippmann is always right there with the perfecr color for the perfect dress.  Let's start with The Golden Globes.

Anne Hathaway looked amazing in this pink Armani Prive gown.  The gown had gorgeous iridescent sequins and Swarovski crystals.  The nail polish she wore was Deborah Lippmann's~I Dreamed of You.  I Dreamed of You is a beautiful sheer mutted pink with an opalescent cast to it.  It was topped off with Deborah Lippmann's Addicted to Speed top coat.

I was lucky enough to be sent I Dreamed of You and the Addicted to Speed top coat.  I am a huge Deborah Lippmann fan, and this polish was just as I expected-perfect. 

Next came the SAG awards and once again, beautiful nails to go with beautiful gowns.  Jennifer Lawrence wore an amazing hot pink Oscar De La Renta gown with a black bow/belt.  The polish that she wore was Hit Me With Your Best Shot.  I love this color!  It is a stunning gun metal grey with just a pop of shimmer.

You can check out my Hit Me With Your Best Shot post here.

Lastly, for now, The Grammys.  As I am sure you have seen this Lady Gaga picture and read here and there about the most anticipated color of the year, I bring Yellow Brick Road. 

Yellow Brick Road was chose to complement Lady Gaga's yellow outfit she wore during her Grammy performance.  This color is so cool!  I can not wait to see it in person and I think it is going to be the hottest color this Spring and Summer.  This beauty will be available April 15th at http://www.deborahlippmann.com/.  

Well, there is one more awards show left, this Sunday's Oscars is the Big Daddy and I can't wait until Sunday to see what Deborah Lippmann has for us to enjoy!

Deborah Lippmann~Polish and Music

What could be better than nail polish and music?  Maybe throw in a cupcake and I would say perfection??  We all know that Deborah Lippmann is an amazing manicurist and the creator of some of the most gorgeous polishes I have have ever seen.  But did you know she can sing? 

Back in July, three lovely glitters debuted at the Nordstrom half-yearly sale.  All That Jazz is a trio of beautiful glitter polish, perfect for the upcoming holiday season. 

Razzle Dazzle is a gorgeous raspberry glitter.  This polish packs a glitter punch. 

Some Enchanted Evening is a sheer pink base polish with pink small and hexigon glitter.

Lady Sings the Blues is a sheer midnight blue with silver small and hexigon glitter.

Today Was a Fairy Tale

Today is Kim Kardasian's 30th birthday and in honor of her birthday, I have a Deborah Lippmann polish to share with you.  Kim wore this color on a recent photo shoot and it is also one of Deborah Lippmann's holiday colors.  But, before I go any further, I want to give you fair warning that there is a picture of Kim Kardashian at the end of this post that some might find inappropriate.  I totally understand and respect your right to that opinion, but I feel this picture is beautiful and I'm posting it.

Today Was a Fairytale and all of the other gorgeous Deborah Lippmann polishes can be found at Deborah Lippmann's website, Nordstrom, Barneys New York, & Neiman Marcus.

Today Was a Fairytale is an amazing combination of  large and small glitter shapes and is infused with Virgin Diamond Powder, suspended in a very sheer blue-grey base.  This polish is extemely sparkley!  I am really left a little speachless by it.

~Inside with a flash~

 

Kim Kardashian recently wore this polish on a recent photo shoot for the November 2010 issue of W Magazine.  Kim wore this and her outfit was nothing more than silver body paint.  I think this picture is beautiful.

This is a gorgeous color and a very happy birthday with to Kim Kardashian.  I would also like to welcome my husband to Nail'd & Polish'd, lol.
