Deborah Lippmann - Jessa and CrowsToes - Hell Hath No Fury

After the hot pink glitter bomb that was my Valentine's Day mani, I needed to wear something a little less glitzy for a job interview that I had this morning. I've been wanting to wear Deborah Lippmann's Jessa from the Girls collection & as soon as I pulled it out I knew that CrowsToes Hell Hath No Fury would be the perfect glitter for an accent nail. I was also super excited to try out my new digital camera that the boy got me for V-Day! I'd had the same Sony cam for years, so it was time for a bit of an upgrade. Nothing crazy, but hopefully it will make for better pics once I fully learn how to use it properly. These were the first pics that I took with it, so my apologies if they look strange. As always, click to enlarge!

Jessa is a vampy, burgundy crelly (creme/jelly)...I wouldn't call it a jelly completely, but it does have a squishy look to it that makes it not quite a creme. Either way, it's gorgeous! The photos above are 3 coats with top coat, but it dried so shiny that it probably didn't even need it.

Hell Hath No Fury is one heck of a glitter bomb. As far as I can tell it has large red glitter, medium red glitter, medium orange glitter, orange bar glitter, small orange glitter, small opalescent violet glitter & some shimmer all packed in a clear base. The base is thick & the glitter payoff is great, so I only needed 1 coat on the accent nail pictured above. I used 1 coat of Gelous & 1 coat of Julep's Fast Dry Top Coat to smooth out the glitter.

Jessa is available as part of Deborah Lippmann's Girls collection, which can be purchased from Lippmann's website. Hell Hath No Fury is currently in stock on Llarowe.

Deborah Lippmann - HBO's Girls Collection and Hannah Swatch

I love a situation when 2 things that I enjoy collide & this collection is a great example! I've long been a fan of Deborah Lippmann & Girls is easily one of my favorite shows on TV right now, so you can imagine how excited I was when I saw the promo photos for these polishes.

The 4 polishes included in the set are named after the show's 4 main female characters: Hannah (Hapless Hunter Green), Marnie (Prim & Proper Pink), Shoshanna (Virtuous Vivid Violet) & Jessa (Bohemian Burgundy). The descriptions in the parenthesis above are directly from Lippmann & I think they're all pretty accurate. Here are some pics (click to enlarge)!

Whoops! Forgot to take a pic of the exterior.

I thought that the packaging of this set was super cute! I loved the quotes from the show on the inside left flap & the polishes were nestled safely on the right hand side, which is always appreciated. I also really enjoyed the separate Girls-related logo on the bottles in addition to the DL logo. Of the polishes themselves, I've only worn Hannah so far (on some unfortunately short nails, bah). It's a nice, dusty hunter green that was opaque in 2 easy coats. Great formula & a super flattering color.

I'm looking forward to using the rest of these colors as well so look for them to show up here in some capacity in the future. Also, if you're an HBO subscriber, tune in on Sunday nights at 9PM to catch Girls!
