Previous NOTD: Lippmann Bitches Brew with ChG Golden Enchantment
Okay, you know how I think Deborah Lippmann was a total jerk off for the "Funky Chunky Tyrade of 2009"? And you know how I said I wasn't going to buy any more of her polishes? Well, I still think she's a giant d-bag, but as soon as I saw Bitches Brew, I knew I was going to have to bend my resolve. Swoon. Isn't it pretty?
It's a deep burgundy shimmer. To me, it borders on vampy without looking black. Deborah Lippmann describes this a "mulberry fantasy" whatever the hell that means. I have nothing close to this in my collection. I suppose OPI Bogota Blackberry would be the closest, but it's cooler than Bitches Brew. Bogota Blackberry is also a few shades lighter.
Application on this was very nice. I have 2 other Lippmann polishes, Purple Rain (grr) and Shut Up and Drive. Neither of which applied like this one. It was opaque in one coat. I hadn't liked Lippmann's handles before, but I guess that could be attributed to the fact that the polish on my 2 other Lippmanns was harder to control. Because this one was so easy, the handle didn't bother me at all.
It was a beautiful color on it's own, but I was feeling festive so I decided to apply some Cina decals and one coat of ChG Golden Enchantment. I just loved the holo, golden sparkle of Golden Enchantment against the deep tone of Bitches Brew. I loved the color beforehand, but afterwards, it was amazing. I loved it. Didn't stop me from taking it off tonight (I blame the NP ADD) :P, but I think it was one of my favorites of 2009. I loved it that much.
You can get Bitches Brew where ever you find Lippmann Collection polishes. Just google it and many places will pop up. I got mine at Beauty Bridge for one main reason... they offer free shipping on all purchases in the US. The polish was $16, so it was nice to not have any additional fees. Shipping was a little slow for me, but it was certainly in the reasonable range (arrived in a little over a week). I got the Cina decals at Sally's and you can get Golden Enchantment at your favorite e-tailer, at Sally Beauty, or on eBay.

Yeah, just because she is, and we all think so, doesn't mean some of her polishes are straight cool - this is on my want list too! And I understand why you'd bend on it. It looks great with additions too!
Love this...I just love red nail polish. It is a small obsession I have :)
That is a beautiful shade on you. I haven't caved and bought any of Lippmann polishes.
