Lippmann Collection Acros The Universe

I bought last bottle even it was day one of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. That polish was one of the first beauty exclusives sold out in my nearest store. So I was pretty lucky to catch it. I really love it because it's so unique. It's smooth and easy to apply. This is 3 coats with base and top. I applied coats with no waiting time between coats. Drying time was very fast so I could go as soon as I put top coat. I waited 3 days before to remove it and removing was bit easier then other glitters. Everything else you can see from pictures.

Gel blackened base with blue shimmer and large hexagon green and blue glitter. It looks like Lippmann even from distance so I think it can work well not only for teens. At least I will wear it and feel very comfortable.

Nordstrom Anniversary Beauty Exclusives are available for pre-order

Nordstrom has Anniversary Sale every year in middle of July. Most interesting part is Beauty Exclusives which usually sold out before they became available in stores. But you can pre-order it now from Nordstrom web site. It says that pre-ordered items will arrive on July 12th. Here is what attracts my eye most.

Mac Baby Goth Girl & Lippmann Superstar

Mac Baby Goth Girl is even prettier in real life than in bottle. It shows purple shimmer and larger bronzier particles very well in direct sunlight. It doesn't look plain in the shade too. Love it.

Application was very nice. I used 2 coats with SV base and top coats and could live with this polish happily few days. But......

Postman brought package with Lippman Superstar in it. Thank you Dani! So I couldn't resist to apply one more coat of Superstar over Baby Goth Girl.

And .....I love it too. Very nice cooper-toned glitter is absolutely unique. I will try it alone later but now I enjoy it layered. No top coat on this picture. I think it will look even better with SV although.

New Babies in My Collection plus Japanese pictures

First of all I want to say thank you for all nice comments in giveaway post. You, guys, make me happy. More than 80 new followers came during couple days and that's great. I feel that I need to do new giveaway as soon as first one is done. I will start to shop around for something interesting for you (good excuse to shop again LOL).

This week was not bad at all. Actually I was VERY lucky to find Mac polishes which I wanted badly for a while. I didn't have big hopes when ask SR about Blue India because it was sold out everywhere. She said that they just cleaned back room and found some limited editions. I almost screamed when she brought box polishes and Blue India was on the top. I checked others and found Seriously Hip and Baby Goth Girl. I also won 2 Lippmann polishes on ebay last week (very cheap) and they arrived the same day. And the last (but not least) was Chanel Illusion d'Or which was delivered yesterday. So here they are all together.

All except Mac Blue India requires special light conditions to show all beauty. I tried to catch it.

Chanel Illusion d'Or has tiny gold glitter with iridescent flakies shining with blue, purple and green sparkles. I can't wait to start to swatch my new Chanel baby layered over everything. But I stop myself because I can't take pictures without help. And my 3 years old daughter is not big helper with pictures yet. Even adult can't hold my camera without support (Canon 20D with telephoto zoom lens if you are curious).

Lippmann Collections Fever has gold shimmer what makes this polish really special.

Lippmann Collection Pump Up the Jam has aubergine/eggplant shimmer in black base but it has also larger particles of multicolored tiny glitter. Unfortunately it's not really visible on nails (yes, I tried on one nail LOL).

Mac Baby Goth Girl is similar to Pump Up the Jam but shimmer is more reddish-purple. Mac Seriously Hip has golden olive shimmer in black base.

My husband is traveling in Japan. Skype is wonderful thing. We can talk and see each other every morning when he comes to hotel for night and every evening when he wakes up and ready to leave for adventures. He takes a lot of pictures and videos and I can't resist to show his pictures to you. I hope I will be there someday too. As usual all pictures are clickable.
