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.

Mini Macro!

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!

Swatch: Essie - Midnight Tango

Hi ladies, I have another Essie polish from the Morticia's Nails set I received from Emily! Midnight Tango is a deep, Navy Blue with Blue shimmer. The Blue shimmer only becomes apparent when you're in Natural Light or Sunlight otherwise it just looks like another run of the mill Navy Blue. Excuse the mess around the nails! Would you believe me if I told you it actually looked better BEFORE I attempted to clean up?!

What do you think to Midnight Tango? I think it looks extremely similar to BarryM - Navy, I'll probably post a comparison picture on my Facebook page soon! I have an absolutely amazing polish to show you tomorrow which I layered over the top of this. If you regularly read my Facebook posts, you will already know what's to come!
