Spring 2009 for Lippmann Collection is a total 80s flashback. Deborah created shades named for songs from two of the biggest artists of the decade, Michael Jackson and Prince. P.Y.T., a sheer peachy-pink creme, and Purple Rain, a metallic lilac, are the latest additions to the Lippmann lineup.
I had the pleasure to test out Purple Rain before it launches to the public and when I first looked at the bottle, I could see the metallic finish staring at me. Taunting me. Saying, you'll never apply me smooth and even.

You know the drill with metallics. They look amazing in the bottle, come in fantastic colors but become brushstroke city on the nail. What's a girl to do? Well, as I told Andrea in Glamour's September issue, I have a little trick to make application better. Not perfect but better.

Application Tip: Apply a tacky base coat (CND Stickey or Orly Bonder). Put a glossy top coat on next (I used CND Air Dry). Then apply your metallic polish and finish with another layer of top coat.

The glossy finish of the top coat will give a smoother surface than a traditional base coat, allowing the polish to glide on the nail.

See the finished results, after the jump!



Purple Rain made its first appearance at New York Fashion Week last September on the Zac Posen runway. Deborah custom blended the lavender shade, which was at the time unnamed, to accent the bold purple lips on the models. That shade and a layering combo of Whatever Lola Wants over holiday's Icing On The Cake added a frosty touch to the overall look.

So what do you think girlies? You know light purples don't play well with my skintone but I've been getting compliments on my mani with this shade. My mom, who loves anything frosty, will be expecting this bottle to be hers. I know it already.

The Spring Lippmann Collection polishes will launch next month and retail for $15/ea. You can purchase online at LippmannCollection.com and Beauty.com and in person at Nordstrom department stores.

$15 each?! For that? Please....I have those exact same colors/metallic polishes, and paid $2.97 per bottle.

Yeah,I don't wear nail polish,but even if I did I would not be spending $15 for that little bottle. Your definately paying for the name. As for Purple Rain,it's just a name,it's not like they are going to be using his picture to promote it so...

I've seen metallic polish stay around...The matte finish polishes disappeared from what I could tell, and so did the "mood polishes," I loved the heat activated stuff, do U remember them coming in little round bottles that looked like a baby light bulb? These polishes stayed on to...I miss them.
