Naked. This is a soft, milky neutral beige. You could call it nude, fleshy... Naked, really. It's almost my perfect 'Mannequin Hands' shade, but it's just a touch too tan. It can be worn sheer, but I think it looks best opaque like I'm wearing it here (three coats).And the star in this spring duo....
Glitter In The Air. What can I even say about this color? I'm totally in love. Yes, I am in love with a sheer polish. It's true. I would have never expected this. Let me describe it. It's a milky, cloudy, gentle baby blue jelly. Very sheer. Sprinkled throughout the blue jelly base are shiny bits of large and small pink and blue glitter. It's not a dense glitter and you won't have full coverage with it, but that's the beauty of it. It reminds me of cotton candy and cupcake sprinkles and magic. It's just so romantic and dreamy looking. I'm wearing three coats and it's really sheer. It looks even better at four thin coats but I didn't get a picture of that. If you prefer a more opaque look (or just hate visible nail line), you can easily layer it over pastel blue or a white creme. The formula on these was decent. They both start out sheer and can be layered for more coverage. With the texture of the formula on these polishes, it's best to wait a minute or so in between coats so that you don't get that goopiness that some sheer polishes can get when applying. Drying time was a little long, but not horrible.
Naked is nice, but Glitter In The Air is magical. It's a fantasy polish. Sheer polishes, especially sheer glitters, aren't something I usually like, but this one is different. It looks squishy and soft, like candy and marshmallows. And... unicorns!!
(These were sent to me for review.)
Love! I just bought Glitter in the Air and will be doing a layering combination later this week to post on the blog. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! I just got Up In The Air this week.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm super excited to use it after seeing your pics. :)
I am just LOVING those together! very nice!
ReplyDeleteThese look beautiful! Glitter in the Air reminds me of those speckled candy malt balls/eggs they sell for Easter (although I already bought and ate myself a bag) - maybe layered over a soft yellow, lavender, blue pastel - I think I'll skittle my nails like this for Easter!
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches. Such perfect polishes!

I'm really liking the nude, which is strange for me. I wish I had the patience for Glitter in the Air, but I don't. These types of polishes always end up disappointing me because they don't look the way I want them too, which is how they look in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteI must have Gitter in the Air, I've seen so many swatches but you have the best description for it ! (:
ReplyDelete-you sold it ! lol
Beautiful! I just got Glitter In The Air in the mail today, and your description is spot-on! It looks so ethereal. :)
ReplyDeletei loooooooooove glitter in the air. i keep drooling over it every time i see it swatched. i wish i could afford it! :\ and i adore your description of it. it personally reminds me of one of my favorite ice creams: cotton candy with rainbow sprinkles. it makes me so happy! :D
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! i NEED to have these two nail polishes... i'll probably dream about them tonight because I live in Brasil and it's virtually impossible to find Deborah Lippmann here.... :(
ReplyDeletehave to ask all my friends if anybody's going to the US this semester...
LMAO...Sprinkles....Unicorns...Magic....Marshmallows! I'm sold! I was on the fence about whether or not I wanted to cough up the money for this, but I think I just may have to now ;) Thanks for your review!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Glitter In The Air!! I still need to get AtU though hahah
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! This way U kill me!! I love nudes and I loved this! It´s perfect! xoxo!
ReplyDeleteWow I love Glitter in the Air. I've been very hesitant about this polish since people seem to be either hating it or loving it. Your swatches tell me I need it!
ReplyDeleteWow Glitter in The Air looks phenomenal! SO cute~
ReplyDeleteOh no, Glitter In The Air is WAY too scarce! I really don't like it. The color is really nice, but it would have been way prettier if it was more dense. With 3 coats and you only get that coverage, I am not satisfied!
ReplyDeleteGlitter in the air is a must have!!! At least I must have it! lol
ReplyDeletexoxo from brazil!
Glitter In the Air is cute but too expensive for just cute. I have to really love it to pay the price for this. The nude is pretty but I do have tons of shades like this.
ReplyDeleteI think your swatches of Glitter In The Air are the best I've seen yet. For some reason, everyone else's look like crap.
ReplyDeleteThese look great, could you post a picture of what Glitter in the Air looks like layered over a while or light blue please? :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI really like that "nude" color, though I have trouble with finding any that I like in Sweden.
ReplyDeleteI just did my mani in Glitter in the Air and I noticed that it's got the most beautiful tiny iridescent sparkle glitters that you can catch in the right light going the whole color spectrum! LOVE!!!!!! It's WELL worth it's cost, there's nothing else like it and everyone that saw it today stopped me and grabbed my hands to oooh and aaaahh over it!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that "glitter in the air" is just awesome! I love it! Have to have it too!!
ReplyDeleteLove both of them! Do you know where I can buy them online?
