True Elegance with Deborah Lippmann's nail polish

I've always been the kind of girl who loves for my nails to look elegant. Nails of Elegance can be worn for any occasion (work or play). Deborah Lippmann prides herself on carrying a nail polish line that that is based on being just that with a trendy twist.



"Waking Up In Vegas" is a beautiful sophisticated color. It would be fair to describe the color as gray with a hint of cocoa. This is perfect nail color that shows people you mean business, but have style and class at the same time. You can wear "Waking Up in Vegas" to work, then drive off to the City of Lights all with the comfort of knowing your nails fit both occasions. This polish is thin, yet the first coat gave solid coverage. The end result was matte and beautiful, but if you want some shine be sure to add a clear top coat. With this color you must work quickly because it dries quite fast!








For all of you ladies who like to appear innocent but may have another side of you, you will love "I'm Not Innocent". This is a very natural color with a hint of powder pink. The first coat is thin and translucent. The second coats give you a solid pink/peach flesh tone color. "I'm Not Innocent" can be worn with any outfit because the color is so neutral. Unlike the the previous color, this polish dried at a regular rate, so you'll have to wait a few minutes before you show the world just how innocent you are (or aren't).




These polishes are full of Biotin, which is known to provide healthy, strong, and growing nails. Also, you animal lovers can put your mind at ease, because their polishes aren't tested on animals. Deborah Lippmann's line has an array of colors from neutral to bold, so be sure to check out her other colors at http://deborahlippmann.com.

My Nail Obsession with OCC

I’m very particular when it comes to a lot of things in my life: guys, food, hair care products and most importantly nail polish. Yes ladies – nail polish! I’m the type of woman who’ll walk into a nail salon carrying a bag filled with nail lacquers because I'm never satisfied with what the salons have to offer. It’s either their polishes are too dull, thick & gooey, thin, or just plain ugly. Recently, I was introduced to David Klasfeld's Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and wanted to share my new found obsession with his nail lacquers.


I'll admit; the colors of the lacquers make a favorable first impression, but that is only the beginning. I'd like to test the shine, durability and application to see whether or not these lacquers are deserving of the name "OCC".


The first color I'll test is Wasabi, which is a beautiful light green with a yellowish tinge. I'm deeply impressed by how the polish remains true to its color. Isn't it ironic how we're accustomed to paying for one thing and receiving another that on the rare occasions when we do happen to get what we've paid for, we're shocked? Well, this is one of those rare occasions! Unlike many inefficient nail lacquers, two coats will do the trick (which saves on time and money). Each satin coat is accompanied by a quick-drying effect. This seemed too good to be true; I'll sample another polish to help formulate my opinion.


Traffic, which is best described as a bright vivid yellow, is my next choice. Similar to Wasabi, the overall quality is excellent: no clumping, not too thick or thin - exhibiting a vibrant, satin finish. At this point I'm fixated by the lacquers, which so far are proven worthy of the OCC name; despite the fact that I haven't review Grandma yet.


Let's save the best for last. Grandma exudes a bright coral hue - one of the best corals I have ever seen for a nail polish. Although Wasabi is my favorite, Grandma best compliments my brown complexion. The colors are fun, perfect for summer and remind me of my favorite bite size snack - skittles. I can't stop playing around with these nail lacquers; I'm totally obsessed!


OCC's lacquers come in 20 different shades. And at $8 a (0.5 fl oz) bottle, they're well worth it. Regardless of your skin tone, OCC's lacquers will definitely do the trick. "David Klasfeld (CEO and Creative Director of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics) knows a thing or two about beauty. "When it comes to creating lustrous, quality polish - he nails it!"
