I am very "iffy" about Lippmann polishes. I tend to love the colors, and hate the formula, or hate the color but love the formula. In other words, something is always wrong with the polish. And at $18 a bottle, you want to make sure you completely love the color and formula Out of all the Deborah Lippmann polishes that I have owned, Ruby Red Slippers is by far my favorite.
Ruby Red Slippers is a black jelly base with tons of red hexagonal glitter. The glitter is all different sizes, and it looks amazing on the nails. The black base is a little sheer, but the color builds up nicely. One option is to layer this over a black or red polish to avoid using three coats of this one alone.
I used one coat of Deborah Lippmann's 'Lady is a Tramp' with two coats of 'Ruby Red Slippers' and a top coa in the pictures below. Note also, these photos were taken before I had to cut my nails.
Isn't gorgeous??? Best part is that is looks good on both short and long nails~

Deborah Lippmann polishes always look so gorgeous but are they really worth the price? I bet there's some great drugstore dupes outside, maye you will find your perfect nail polish one day?
ReplyDeleteohh I love the color, it looks like a bloody red!
ReplyDeletepretty, looks bloody for halloween
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. I love that nail color so much.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty color! If there was a cheaper dupe I would so buy!
ReplyDeleteThe color is gorgeous Nancy! Reminds me of Purgatory! :) I haven't tried DL polishes since I do feel like at $18, it should bloody well be perfect lol
ReplyDeleteSuch a rich, vampy color! I love it
ReplyDeletewow! that's really pretty....i want someone to gift me some dl polishes :D
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is a super hot, bloody color! :D
ReplyDelete@GABY: Whether it is worth it or not depends on you I guess.Most of the ones I have tried are not worth the $18 price tag. This one and Across the Universe were totally worth it for me though! I believe Essence has a dupe for Across the Universe, but Idk of any dupes for Ruby Red Slippers.
@Charisse: I totally agree!
@Socialitedreams: I know, me too ;) But they are so bloody expensive no one wants to buy them for me T_T
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous shade!:D I want one!:D
