Deborah Lippman is known as the manicurist to the stars. I don’t know about you but I get a pretty good manicure at my place, not sure what she has that I can’t get at my place, except her products that is.
The Lippman collection has nail technicians trained by her to do special and private events and I was able to experience this at one of our visits to a bag showroom (for Bag Snob) and experience her special techniques and test out the products. I wanted something sheer but still slightly pink and as you all know, it is hard to find something that has color but is still perfectly sheer, I usually get the murky oddly pink shade that I hate. I used Tiny Dancer Nail Color ($15) and it was should I say, sheer perfection? And it also happens to be one of my favorite songs (all her colors are named after song titles). The ‘On a Clear Day’ Top Coat ($16) is something that really sets her apart, it really keeps your nails shiny for days but most importantly, it is a quick dry. I was worried having to walk out of that showroom with wet nails and not being able to get on with the rest of my busy day. But not so, it dried beautifully, quickly and now days later my nails still look great. The Cuticle Treatment ($17)
is also something worth mentioning, I have the worst habit of biting my cuticles so as you can imagine, they don’t always look the greatest. A good cuticle treatment is always a necessity. You can just get the ‘Easy to Love’ Mini Set ($19.50), you get a little of everything to try out. I really did get a damn good manicure. Check out Deborah’s manicure tips to get a professional manicure on your own. Personally, I have never done this and will not try but I always try to bring my own colors because when I forget, I am usually unhappy with the color.
