Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish Review - Party Nails in "Candy Shop"

Parties are the last things on my mind -- unless you count the wild kicking in my uterus -- sorry, a little pregnancy joke. But I do like a festivity on my nails. Sometimes a girl's just got-ta glitter, gleam and shine.


I won a Deborah Lippmann nail set a while ago (from NYC and a Little Cannoli). One of the colors, Candy Shop, put me in a party mood. 


For a base, I used Sinful Colors in "Easy Going." The two made quite a jubilant combo. However, good looks doesn't guarantee quality. Read on to find out how I liked Candy Shop by Deborah Lippmann.

Color:

• Pretty in pink and full of glittery confetti, this color is both bubbly and fun. 
• If you like serious attention, you will love it.

 

Quality:

• Nail paint glided on smoothly.
• Confetti didn't shatter, not even after a few days' wear.

 

Brush:

• So easy to use. Two to three strokes provided lasting finish.
• One coat worked well. Two or more coats covered nails with allover glitter.

 

Likes:

• Excellent quality. Confetti stuck on for days. 
• Gorgeous color and beautiful glitters.
• Brush was wonderful to use.
• Fast drying, especially for glitter coating. Took only about five minutes.

 

Dislikes:

• Taking it off took a loooooooooooooooooong time. 
• It was so difficult that I started picking it off with my nails.
• Price. $18 at most stores. It's very expensive.

 

Overall Rating:

3.5/5

Re-purchase?

On the fence. Polish is pretty and has great quality, but it's just a party polish after all. $18 is too much.
