I got so stoked when I received my new Lippmann colors in the mail today. I found this really nice lady who owns a nail spa/salon that sells Lippmanns for less than retail price with free priority shipping within the United States. I asked her if she had my most coveted Lippmann colors. She said she did, and I quickly put in the order. I got my babies in just two business days (Thursday was a holiday so that didn't count). I love everything!!!
I have long been coveting Bitches Brew, and I am so glad I got one at long last. Nefertiti is so beautiful in swatches online, and the rave reviews made me take the plunge and snag one. Satin Doll is also a beautiful neutral polish made for Mariah Carey. Lastly, Superstar is indeed the superstar among all my nail polishes. I have never owned a polish as outlandish yet gorgeous as that.
Nefertiti has the same gorgeous shimmer as Believe, but of course is yellower and gold-toned. I never liked yellow gold on my nails, but Nefertiti doesn't look repulsive on my tips. This is such a fun color, especially for the holidays.
Satin Doll is a beautiful, subtly shimmery beigey cream color that is such a pretty neutral. I can totally imagine Mariah Carey wearing this. Sweet and unassuming but definitely makes a statement.
Bitches Brew!!!!! Ahhh, such a gorgeous vampy color. I'm running out of superlatives to describe these nail lacquers. The deep winey burgundy color is also very festive and is the perfect fall shade.
Now I have definitely run out of superlatives. I just stared in awe of my nails after swatching this. The glitters are not the cheap kind you see in lower end nail polishes. This finish was a tad gritty but it was nothing a couple of applications of top coat couldn't fix.
I am really glad about this nail polish haul because these are the Lippmann colors I'd been really dying to get. I can't wait to try these out especially for the holidays.

Hey!! Those are pretty colors, I just wanted to ask you, is it hard for you to remove the polishes that are glittery?
Nikki, thanks! I didn't really didn't find it hard to take out the glittery polish, probably because I used 100% salon-grade alcohol.
Nefertiti and Bitch's Brew look awesome!
Nikki- Correction: it was salon-grade acetone, not alcohol! I must have been too wasted while typing that. lol
Phyrra- yes they are gorgeous, and Bitches Brew is a shade I can see you wearing. It'd look great on your skintone.
Thank you!
I gotta check it out.
Where do you buy it from?
I don't think I've seen them at my Sally's
Superstar is probably my favorite Lippmann ever!
Gosh, I love Nefertiti and Bitches Brew. And the search begins now!
Phyrra- you can get them online at drugstore.com or on eBay I think.
Katee- LOVE your blog! Your swatches are awesome.
melvel- thanks for enabling me on Nefertiti! :)
I recently seen Lippmann "Superstar" in InStyle...the color looks great I may have to purchase that ASAP!!
Hi, thanks for realistic color pictures. Are your nails natural or acrylic? They look very nice. I was wondering how the Lippmann worked on natural nails as I am considering going back to acrylics if I cannot find something that does chip despite basecoat, topcoat, etc.....thanks@
