Spring 2015 New York Fashion Week - deborah lippmann

BUI was SO looking forward to deborah lippmann's shows - especially the one for Kate Spade! I'm not super fashion oriented but I've had my eye on several Kate Spade bags for awhile now. Please enjoy the recap of DL's shows - images courtesy of deborah lippmann.

deborah lippmann Sexyback Lip & Nail Duet

While I love deborah lippmann's nail polishes and especially her new cuticle cream "The Cure", one thing I haven't tried yet is her lipstick. She now has 9 shades available on her website - nudes, berries and corals. This coming month, she’s bringing sexy back. 

deborah lippmann Whip It

Press Sample 
As I mentioned this morning, deborah lippmann came out with a rainbow collection of cremes this summer, dedicated to the 80s. As an 80s baby, I feel a great obligation to rock these while singing. I won't sing on the blog though - I'll spare you that one. This is Whip It - a bubble gum pink creme.

I used a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and finished with Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That.

This is a pretty accurate color photos of how this polish wears. Perfect applications, no pooling, and no streaks.

It looks a little dusty rose in the shade, but still has a great coverage and durability that is known to deborah lippmann polishes.

Indoors with some indirect light - happy pretty pink. Not much else to say - good color, wears well, applies perfectly. And you get a great Devo song to hum ALL DAY LONG.

deborah lippmann [official website] sells for $18 a bottle.  You can also Like her on Facebook and follow her on Twitter.

deborah lippmann 80s Rewind & The Cure

2014 seemed to be the year of rainbows but that's fine by me. I can't get enough of rainbow collections and deborah lippmann took that route for her Summer 2014 Collection "80s Rewind"

Deborah Lippmann The Mermaids

Last month Deborah Lippmann launched her Summer collection - The Mermaids which seriously look awesome. That purple will be coming home with me.

INTRODUCING THE MERMAIDS – SUMMER 2013 COLLECTION

Summer Fantasy: Magical Mermaid Hues Inspired by Mermaid’s Dream

Make a splash this summer with The Mermaids from Deborah Lippmann. Enter the summer fantasy of mermaid-inspired hues, inspired by the fan-favorite Mermaid’s Dream that took us by storm last year.

Set your sights on a seaside cerulean with Mermaid’s Eyes or a tangerine twinkle with Million Dollar Mermaid. Get flirty with a lavender luster, Do the Mermaid or a bubbling blush, Mermaid’s Kiss. Immerse yourself in summer mermaid fantasy by adding Mermaid’s Dream and painting each nail a different mermaid shade.

Deborah elaborated on her inspiration for the collection stating, “I created these shades by listening to what customers wanted – more Mermaid’s Dream. I took the beautiful glittered shimmer to another level by creating a whole family of shades reminiscent of the cult classic. Discover the same gorgeous glittering shine in any of The Mermaids.”

Suggested Retail Price: $19 each, launching May 2013

Deborah Lippmann products are available at www.deborahlippmann.com, Barneys New York, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom

Deborah Lippmann Romantic Rapture

I didn't even realize Deborah Lippmann had a line of lipsticks! It only makes sense that she would expand her line of beauty but I just wasn't aware. While these launched in the spring, you can still find them out.

INTRODUCING SPRING 2013 COLOR COLLECTION: ROMANTIC RAPTURE

Revel in the breath-taking rhapsody of Spring 2013! Introducing two brand new lipsticks and three new nail lacquers, the Deborah Lippmann Spring 2013 Color Collection offers a variety of bold and subtle hues that are romantically feminine.

Expanding her lipstick collection, Deborah Lippmann is launching two bright shades that give the collection a sexy punch. The formula is a unique hybrid, offering the rich, creamy texture of a lipstick and the sheer, high-shine finish of a lip gloss. She Bangs is a ravishing red that makes a bold lip statement. Call Me Maybe is a sheer cheeky coral that will be as popular as the song it was named after. They are universal yet vibrant and playful shades that are the perfect complement to any spring wardrobe. “These are two very wearable lip colors that are fun, happy and will make you look and feel beautiful,” says Deborah. “Just apply and go – if you don’t have time for anything else. A great lip shade will make you look put together and sophisticated.” she adds.

The collection also introduces Moon Rendezvous, a faded slate blue shimmer, Careless Whisper, a scintillating nude shimmer and Groove Is In The Heart, a flamingo pink crème. Deborah’s nail lacquers never cease to impress with modern, sophisticated and easily wearable hues for all ages.

Suggested Retail Price: $17 each, available at www.deborahlippmann.com, Barneys New York, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom

Deborah Lippmann Staccato Spring 2013

Yes, I'm a little out of season, but you may not have seen these Deborah Lippmann polishes that came out in Spring 2013.  Please enjoy the following press release.

STACCATO – Simply Delicious!

A New Innovative Formula for Spring 2013

Deborah Lippmann takes glitter to another level once again with an unexpected juxtaposition, combining black glitter with traditional soft pastel hues. Staccato is a trend-in-the-making with an innovative finish available in three deliciously energizing shades reminiscent of your favorite cotton candy, oreo and mint chocolate chip ice-creams!

The collection introduces I’m Not Edible, a panicked pink staccato, Polka Dots And Moonbeams, a sprightly black and white staccato and Rockin’ Robin, a mint mayhem staccato. These shades offer the perfect balance of femininity with a rich crème base and a jazzed-up edginess with the speckled black glitter.

“When creating this formula, I was thinking of ways to make black glitter wearable. I like how the glitter pops with a crème base, and I love that we took very wearable spring shades and gave them more pizzazz – even a bit of an edge,” said Deborah.

Suggested Retail Price: $19 each, launching April 2013

Deborah Lippmann products are available at www.deborahlippmann.com, Barneys New York, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom

deborah lippmann at Rodarte Fall 2012

I'm actually getting to the end of fashion week from deborah lippmann, and what better way to end than with No More Drama.  Please enjoy the following - all images are courtesy of TLCommunications.

Backstage at Rodarte Fall 2012

Rodarte envisioned an earthy, almost dusty nail to complement the collection this season. We saw bronze and golden shimmer in the makeup, so Deborah Lippmann came up with the perfect combination for the nails using two coats of No More Drama, a sultry golden caramel created with Mary J. Blige, topped with her Flat Top matte‐maker top coat. The result was a hue that captured the essence of the collection, and completed the overall look perfectly.

$16 and $18, available at www.deborahlippmann.com

deborah lippmann at Ports 1961

I couldn't stop singing "Brick House" when I read this press release, even if the actual polish was only used very sparingly.  This is probably one reason why I'm not very fashion forward...  All images courtesy of TLCommunications.

Backstage at Ports 1961 Fall 2012

This season Ports 1961 envisioned a softer take on a classic rust‐colored nail for fall. Deborah Lippmann created a custom lacquer by mixing a few drops of Brick House, her shimmering rust shade, with clear polish for a sheer, modern take on her rich metallic shade. The subtle nail perfectly complemented the collection and flawlessly tied the look together.

$16 available at www.deborahlippmann.com

deborah lippmann at Narciso Rodriguez

I have to say, I didn't know there were so many shows at Fashion Week!  Only three left from Deborah Lippmann - this one is very office friendly I think!  All images courtesy of TLCommunications.

Backstage at Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2012

Simply stated and well‐groomed was the vision for Narciso Rodriguez this season. The collection featured fashion‐forward gloves, close‐toed shoes, and perfectly‐groomed nails. Deborah Lippmann knows the importance of grooming, and even if your fingers and toes are in hibernation, you have to be prepared with primped nails. “Nothing is sexier than unveiling a hidden hand or foot with a fresh mani and pedi.”
The models flaunted a perfectly groomed, short, round and feminine nail with one coat of Fashion, a not‐so‐typical taupe. The look was simple, understated, and necessary – because no model should ever look undone.

deborah lippmann at Marchesa Fall

We're running down to home with deborah lippmann's nails during Fashion Week - please enjoy the following!  All images are courtesy of TLCommunications.

Backstage at Marchesa Fall 2012

Marchesa, in a word, is magical this season. We saw looks that were complicated and glorious, but nothing short of pure genius. Deborah Lippmann was put to the test, given the challenge of finding the perfect nail looks to complement various looks in the collection. The result was models that flaunted various shades because Deborah wanted to capture the genius in each and every look.


You saw Single Ladies, a bordeaux red, on the nails and toes of some models, and Fade to Black, an opaque vinyl black, also made an appearance on the “dark angel” looks. Most of the models flaunted an angelic combination of Baby Love, a baby doll pink, topped with two layers of an iridescent glitter called Stairway to Heaven.


Deborah also used Stardust, a platinum frost metallic, and Nefertiti, a modern micro fine golden shimmer. Regardless of the shade, the fingers matched the toes of each model, and the nail was short and round. Of course, each look was finished with Addicted to Speed ultra quick‐dry top coat.

$16 & $18 each, available at www.deborahlippmann.com

NOTD: 15 March 2012

DARN IT.  It's the Ides of March and I don't have a witty manicure to show you.  Nor did I have one on Pi[e] Day.  However, I do have a NOTD that I wore on 26 February that I was pretty proud of.  My boyfriend actually picked this combination out!


This is one coat of Dr.'s REMEDY Revive with one coat of deborah lippmann Ruby Red Slippers.  At first I just topped with CND Air Dry and I got the following:

HUNGRY GLITTER.  To smooth it out, I put a layer of Lynnderella Glitter Tamer, then another coat of CND Air Dry to seal the deal.  


Now I'm just going to post pictures.  It's late, I have to be up early, yadda yadda.  Please note that when you mix these two colors, you get a slight purple tint!  It was so lovely to see - and very unexpected.

That's all she wrote folks.  Until next time!

Dr.’s REMEDY® Enriched Nail Polish is available for $16 online at http://www.remedynails.com or by calling 1-877-323-NAIL.  You can "Like" them on Facebook.

deborah lippmann at Donna Karan

More deborah lippmann Fashion Week news!  All images courtesy of TLCommunications.

Backstage at Donna Karan Fall 2012

Donna Karan maintained a feminine and womanly aesthetic this season, but wanted to add a bit of a twist to the nail look. Deborah Lippmann took a modern approach to a classic look, incorporating the perfect amount of color and playfulness into the nail. Fashion, a not‐so‐typical‐taupe, was on the nails with Single Ladies, a flirtatious red, on the tip.

deborah lippmann at Bill Blass

Nails really were the hottest accessory for Fashion Week - please enjoy the following from Deborah Lippmann! All images courtesy of TLCommunications.

Backstage at Bill Blass Fall 2012

For this collection, Bill Blass envisioned a modern nail that was a bit of a departure from past seasons. Deborah Lippmann decided on a duet, which is a sophisticated way to wear nail art by taking a modern approach to a classic French manicure. Single Ladies, a flirtatious bordeaux red, was on the nail with a never‐seen dusty nude shade across the tip. To create a similar look, use Fashion, a not‐so‐typical taupe, across the tip of the nail.


The modern nail, showcasing a crème on crème look, is a new and fun way to play with color. It gives the nail a bit of an edge and playfulness that is easy for anyone to create! We’re seeing a new trend come to life with this duet look.

Backstage at Badgley Mischka Fall 2012

This season, Badgley Mischka envisioned an original nail look to complement the collection which was inspired by the light angles and geometry of the German Impressionist film, “Metropolis.” Deborah Lippmann came up with a sophisticated and playful spin on nail art, with a modern French manicure. The short, feminine nail had Dark Side of the Moon, an absolute aubergine shade, with a subtle pop of shimmer on the tip with Nefertiti, a modern micro fine golden frost.

deborah lippmann Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?

I have been obsessed with deborah lippmann's Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? since it was first spotted in mid-February 2011 during Fashion Week.  The working title was "jessica rabbit", but as you know, Deborah names her polishes after songs.  This is a large hexagonal glitter in a clear base.


On my pinkie and ring fingers, I have a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and a top of CND Air Dry.  On my middle and index fingers, I've added a base of Cult Nails Quench.

Now, Deborah had said during her group interview that I was in, that all her polishes are designed as 2 coaters, so that's why I used 2 coats.  Granted, I love this SO MUCH MORE over an existing red creme, because on the bare nail, it reminds me too much of a really bad case of chicken pox (sorry!).  Well, really, of shingles (which I had in my early 20s).

Forget anything else, go buy this polish because of how awesome it looks in the shade.  Yes.  Go.  Post done.

Okay fine, here's indoors with the flash - not as gorgeous, but still, I'm in love with this polish.  What a way to start 2012!  This is a limited edition shade, but you may still be able to pick it up in stores.
