Happy Birthday
This polish consists of multicolored medium and small hex glitter in a clear base. The clear base makes it obvious that unless you want layers and layers of glitter on your nails, your best bet is to pair it up with a base color. In this picture, I'm wearing three coats of Happy Birthday. The glitter is an great range of colors: silver, magenta, red, blue, orange, yellow, and green.
Here is one coat of Happy Birthday over naked nails. Excuse the staining, I rarely ever leave my nails bare!
Here's an up close shot of the polish. I have up-close shots of all three colors, and they're all pretty blurry. Sorry about that, I guess I have to play around with my camera a little more to figure out how to make it less blurry.
Candy Shop
Here is Candy Shop. It's got the same glitter that was in Happy Birthday, but this is suspended in a baby pink jelly. The lighting that I took this picture in doesn't necessarily capture the pinkness of this color, but it's really cute! I liked this a lot. This is two coats of Candy Shop.
Here is a perfect example of how the pink doesn't really get picked up. It looks very peachy/nude in this picture and it's definitely not.
Forget You
Forget You, again, has the same glitter we saw in Happy Birthday, but this is in a black jelly base. You'd think that the black base would hide most of the glitter, but it didn't! The glitter showed up really well which makes this my favorite out of the three! I love this it's just kind of edgy, but obviously girly. This is two coats of Forget You.
Close up of Forget You
Deborah Lippmann polishes I don't come by too often. Retail values vary, but they are kind of on the expensive side. I've found them at Lord & Taylor's and I know they're available at her website www.deborahlippman.com.
Soooo jealous you got this for Christmas, I've been wanting this set since it came out. I really love Candy Shop and Forget You, since they're sold separately now I have no excuse not to buy them :) especially after being reminded how much I wanted them after seeing these swatches!
