Deborah Lippmann's Let's Hear It For The Boy

I had high hopes for Deborah Lippmann's Let's Hear It For The Boy. I do love the color and you'll see why in a moment :-). The formula on this one was a little to watery and the brush wasn't able to control the lacquer. I did manage to clean it up as much as possible to get some good pictures for you guys, This one is tough to review because I have fallen in love with DL's lacquer and I couldn't imagine writing a bad review.

My true and honest opinion is that I wouldn't recommend you buy this. I say that because it is not up to par with the other DL polishes I have tried. I do love the color and once it was on and my top coat (Seche Vite) did it's job, the manicure looked great! However, the overall formula here wasn't great.

Take a look:

Both pictures above show two coats of Let's Hear It For The Boy and a top coat.  It took a while to do clean up after I had applied the lacquer. This manicure is gorgeous, though, I must admit. 

To spruce it up a bit I added dots! I won a set of dotting tools recently on Facebook and decided to put them to work. I added dots of Julep's Niecy and Anne.

Earlier in this post, I said you would understand why I like this color and here's why. In a previous post, I compared Julep's Jessica to Zoya's Kristen (Here.) Doesn't  Let's Hear It For The Boy and Jessica look really similar? Yep! From left to right: Let's Hear It For The Boy , Jessica and Kristen.

I thought it needed to be pointed out. :-) 

I guess I should be finished getting polishes in this color family.

What do you think of Let's Hear It For The Boy? Do you own it? Was the formula the same for you? Please share. I love to read your comments.

Thank you for reading,

Dancing in The Sheets!!

Deborah Lippmann polishes are just great. I've been hearing so much about them so since I reviewed Dream a Little Dream of Me, I been wanting another one. I ordered 2 and this is the first one I'll be reviewing, Dancing In The Sheets. I loved this color when I saw it. It is a dark purple with blue and purple shimmer throughout. Sometimes this polish can look like a navy blue which is because it is a duochrome. I absolutely love it! Application was flawless! I had no problems at all! I just want to look at my nails all day! They are Gorg!!! Once it hits the sun I fell in love all over again. Ah!

My hubby says it looks like a metallic purply-blue :-).

Check out this picture below. You can see the duochrome in the bottle and it translates onto the nail.

Dancing In The Sheets was paired with Let's Hear it For The Boy and made for HSN. They are apart of the Footloose Collection and retails, right now on clearance, for $16! When I saw the price I jumped all over it. I'll definitely be getting more of these polishes. I can say I like how her polishes apply perfectly and dry with a shine. You can purchase this polish right now on HSN.

In the pictures below I use two coats and I top coat, but I could have easily gotten away with one coat.

You can see the shimmer and duochrome in this picture :-)

(Blurry to show the duochrome effect. I love it!)

What do you think of this polish? Do you have it? Share your favorite polish from Deborah Lippmann so I can determine what my next purchase will be.

Thanks for Reading
