Swatch: Deborah Lippmann - Lady Sings The Blues

Hi ladies! Yesterday I showed you Essie - Midnight Tango and said I had an amazing layering combo to show you, well here it is! This is actually my joint second Deborah Lippmann polish (the other one being Wicked Game) which I recently got from my recent Apothica order. Lady Sings The Blues is a really deep, dark blackened blue with large hexagonal and smaller glitter particles of silver and blue. As of this moment, I don't have anything in my collection like this so I'm definitely happy I picked it up. The swatches are 2 coats of Lady Sings The Blues over Midnight Tango. I didn't have too much trouble with the application, everything went on smoothly and there was even a fair amount of glitter dispersion, which can sometimes be a problem with some other glitter polishes I have used.

And of course I had to see what it was like matted. Here it is with a coat of E.L.F Matte Finisher Top Coat.

LOVE this matted! If you didn't already know, my camera is horrendous for taking Macro shots. So I ended up just taking a portion from one of the photos, apologies for how small it is! Deborah Lippmann is available to buy in the UK from House of Fraser and Beautybay for between £14 and £18 each for 15ml of product. If you're in the States you can purchase Deborah Lippmann directly from their website as well as Apothica for between $16 and $18 each.
What are your thoughts on Deborah Lippmann polishes? Do you think they're worth the money or overpriced? Let me know in the comments!

Nail Mail: EPIC Day (Pic Heavy)

Hi ladies! So I have an epically awesome Nail Mail post for you today. Originally this post was going to be an average Nail Mail day, but as I was taking the photos ANOTHER package was delivered! I won't bore you with a stupidly long intro, so let's get started!

My first package is from a lovely lady called Emily in my Facebook group, she posted that she was selling a couple things and one of them really caught my eye. But instead of purchasing them, we did a little swap as she was wanting a couple of the Max Factor minis! We wanted it to be a fair swap, so to make up the price of the mini's she threw in 3 extra polishes! Wanna see what I got? Click the jump to start!!
