Lippmann Some Enchanted Evening (over Essie Demure Vixen)
Pink glitter with larger hex glitter suspended in clear polish. This can never be built up to be opaque... unless you had superhuman patience. The above shows two coats over Essie Demure Vixen. This is probably not a great layering combination but I had DV on right as I was beginning to swatch and decided to just go with it.
Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues
I thought this would be my favorite of the set but I was sort of disappointed by it. Silver glitter and large silver hex glitter suspended in dark blue jelly. In theory, I love it, but the silver hex glitter sticks up on the surface and looks more silver than blue on the top coat. I kind of wish it were blue glitter rather than silver glitter. It also wasn't as glossy as I would have liked. BUT! It was opaque in two coats (which is great for a jelly) and it dried ridiculously fast.
I was not expecting this to be my favorite of the set but it absolutely was. It is just soooo deliciously rich and glittery: dark, purple-leaning red jelly (like the color of good sangria with a lot of fruit in it) with two different sizes of red glitter. Yummers! Also, had a lovely glossy finish. This was three coats but it should be fine at two.

I don't know how I feel about my trio. I really really love RRS and wanted to have that same happy feeling. I'm wearing Some Enchanged Evening now over black. Not bad. Not thrilling me. Hated it over a lighter pink.
I'll keep Lady Sings the Blues since that was one of the greatest movies of all time. But, again. It's fine. Not great.
I can't wait to whip out Razzle Dazzle. Hopefully this weekend.
love this colors !!
I don't know if these are sold as a trio. If they are then I'll by them. Otherwise I'll stick with the blue and Razzle Dazzle. They are something.
I've been thinking SEE would be good over a dark blue such as Rehab or Menozotte Blue but as I'm just not a pink person I'll have to wait for someone else to do it before I know for sure!
ooh so many colors.. so much glittteer. ahhh so nice..
Great swatches :) Must. Not. Give. In...
These all look amazing! If I manage to convince myself to pay that much for one polish, I'll probably get Lady Sings the Blues--it's the most unlike anything I currently have.
@cidell: Razzle Dazzle is definitely the best of the trio, imo.
@lilynail: thanks!
@lucy: good to have you back!! :D
@salvagedexpression: I think I've seen it over a dark base and it looks fine… better than over a light base!
@pretty: I'm a glittery hoor too. :)
@jen: If you don't love them all, wait for them to be sold separately. I'm sure it'll happen in the next year.
@zara: it's definitely a unique one!
