Deborah Lippmann - Fashion

I have to confess I wasn't too happy with Deborah Lippmann and her US-only giveaways and overpriced products, but when a good sale comes around I can be easily persuaded... how terrible is that?

So here it is, the first Lippmann I am showing you from my birthday mini haul. (I am late by over two months, but nevermind...)

Something has changed in recent months and I am into lighter, neutral shades. I now own quite a few greys, taupes and nudes and have, maybe in a bid to stop buying almost dupes, moved away from the reds, burgundies and purples that used to make a big part of my collection. Fashion is a pretty sheer nude that matches my Mediterranean complexion almost perfectly. It's like foundation for my nails and it looks super delicate and classy.

The formula was great, I used three coats for the photos. Appplication was effortless and the finish is smooth and shiny. This would probably be my first choice if I was going for a job interview, as it's chic without creating a distraction.

Would I pay £15 for it? Most certainly not, but it is nice to have got it for a fraction of that. After all, birthdays are the perfect time to be spoiled!
