Lippmann Collection PYT: Pretty Young Thing:
PYT: Pretty Young Thing is a fabulous coral pink jelly. When I saw this in the bottle I was kind feeling "meh" but I really like it on! Application was perfect and I used it over a ridge filler. My nails are a bit yellow and so when I wear sheer nail colors I really like a ridge filler to help cover the yellow. Trust me, sheer jelly pinks and yellow nails do not play well. This swatch is 3 coats of color over the base coat. PYT is opaque with 3 coats over a ridge filler. If you don't use a ridge filling base coat you might need 4 coats. And seriously, PYT by Michael Jackson is one of my favorite songs ever. Such a good party song! Just the idea that this nail polish makes me think of the song is a good thing.
Next, Lippmann Collection Purple Rain:
Purple rain is a sultry lilac frost. It was designed by Lippmann with the help of designer Zac Posen for use in his Spring 2009 fashion show. When I first saw Purple Rain, I thought it might be dupey for one of the purples in China Glaze's Romantique collection - but it is not. Purple Rain is definitely unique! The formula is a frost and the brush strokes are apparent but they don't bother me one bit. I think they give this nail color a very pretty and soft, almost delicate feel. It is a very feminine color. I usually don't like colors like this but I got so many compliments when I wore it the other day that I just cannot help but like it.

I am always so excited to see what Lippmann Collection has in store for us so I am a little disappointed that only 2 new colors are being released. Oh well, 2 is better than a big fat zero. I guess we'll just have to take what we can get!
Did you guys know that Lippmann Collection nail polishes contain green tea extracts and protein-building biotin? I did not until doing a little more research on them today. Interesting! I am not aware of any other lines that contain these ingredients.
These new colors from Lippmann Collection will launch next month online at Lippmann Collection and both online and in-store at Nordstrom.
Great swatches :) I really like these, I wish I could get them in the UK :(
ReplyDeleteI looooove PYT on you. And it is definitely my top 5 MJ songs. I've seen Lippman in Bath and Body Works. Are those polishes from their regular line?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours, that pink is so refreshing xxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteLove the Purple Rain!
ReplyDeleteHi Katee,
ReplyDeleteI just can't get into either of these for some reason! I am not a fan of frost polishes so if that lilac was another finish I might like it better. Oh well!
Wow, you must have been laying PYT on pretty thick to get it opaque with only three coats. I put on three relatively thick coats over Seche ridgefilling base and it was still semi-sheer and somewhat streaky. That's really only three coats?
ReplyDeleteWow - I love them both. Yikes...more $$...
ReplyDeleteLIna-Elvira - No one online ships to the UK?! I am surprised!!
ReplyDeleteB - Thanks! I love PYT too. Yup! Bath and Body will probably get these too.
Rianna Bethany- I agree! The pink is very refreshing.
Sasha - Isn't it gorge?!
CincyFan - Yup! 3 coats over China Glaze's ridge filling base coat. Maybe the CG ridge filler is more opaque than the Seche? I have never used the Seche one. I really did not find it that streaky.
Jamie - I know what you mean.
xoxo,
Katee
