GIRLS Deborah Lippmann Collection Swatches and Review

Hi everyone! I am a huge fan of the show Girls, and I've been eyeing this collection for a while. I finally picked these polishes up while visiting New York City. When I saw these at the HBO store, I knew I had to have them. Consider this post part one of my NYC nail polish haul!


All of these swatches are shown with top coat.

 
Deborah Lippmann Marnie. Three coats. This is described as a "prim and proper pink." I suppose it is. Kind of a boring color, and a not so great formula. This was the hardest of the four to apply.

 
Deborah Lippmann Shoshanna. Two coats. According to Deborah Lippman's site, this is a "virtuous vivid violet." It looks a lot like some of the periwinkle leaning lilac type shades coming out this spring, except it has a really subtle shimmer. It's very pretty and easy to work with.

Deborah Lippmann Jessa. Two coats, except the middle finger which has three coats for comparison. A "bohemian burgundy," which is a pretty accurate description of this shade of red. It gets a lot darker with three coats; I personally prefer it with two. Sorry for the weird picture, it was hard to get an angle that showed off the color properly.

 
Deborah Lippmann Hannah. Two coats. This is described as a "Hapless Hunter Green." This is my favorite of the polishes from this set, and I can't say I own anything like it! The formula was great, no complaints.

I loved Hannah so much that I had to keep it on for some nail art. This is my first attempt at using nail studs. They're a bit off center, but I loved them anyway!

Overall, I really liked Hannah and Shoshanna, but the other two shades were sort of a bust for me... especially considering the steep $45 price tag for the set. These polishes are limited edition and can be found on Deborah Lippmann's site.

Thanks for reading!
