This beauty arrived this afternoon and I had completely forgotten about it. It was like a present almost, and I couldn't resist swatching it right away. I bought this as one of 3 rather expensive polishes with a half off deal I got through
Hautelook a while back. This is a 3-free grape-purple jelly from Deborah Lippmann's Summer '09 release. Apparently her website describes it as a creme, but this is so jelly it could be mistaken as edible. Like all of her polishes, this bottle is cube shaped and pretty easy to hold. The brush is thin - maybe even a little too thin - but it's flexible and fans out adequately for application. The formula was a dream. I would gladly pay $16 for polishes that seriously seem to paint themselves like this did. My only issue was that a few strokes had an almost watery drip, that ran into my cuticles. I may not have rolled the polish enough though, and it was easy enough to clean up.
Below we have 4 coats without topcoat. At 3 it is lovely, but there is a hint of VNL (visible nail line).
