Glossy Box Review: Deborah Lippmann Nail Varnish

It feels like ages ago I got my very first glossy box now, however I have been so busy with my job hunt and unpacking from my move, that I have found it hard to find the time to actually review the products! I finally have some spare time so I am going to share with you all what I thought about Deborah Lippmann's Nail Varnish shade 'Razzle Dazzle'. It also came with some nail varnish remover which I will review in a few days time...


Overall I am really impressed with this product, although I didn't expect to be as the packaging is pretty dull and I wouldn't usually go for this particular shade. However this is the perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover! Usually with glitter nail varnishes I find that you need several coats just to get some sort of coverage, however this wasn't the case with this nail varnish as one coat was plenty. What's more although it doesn't say that it's quick dry, it most definitely is! I would say it took roughly about 4/5 minutes for this nail varnish to dry and it didn't leave my nails tacky. I have had one coat on for 4 days now and it still hasn't chipped at all which I am really impressed with. 


In terms of colour, I don't think I would necessarily buy this one myself as it simply isn't my taste, however in a different shade I could definitely be convinced. This is more of a luxury end product than one to collect, as each nail varnish costs $18.00 which is roughly about £12 (quite a lot for someone who is used to buying Barry M!) Supposedly the likes of SJP and Cher inspired Lippmann to make these nail varnishes, it's no wonder they are so expensive then! Here are some of the shades I would like to try but probably will never get to, as 8 nail varnishes would set you back a whopping £96...mmmm I can dream!

*Overall I would give this product 4/5. Although it is a great product with fantastic coverage, it's far too expensive for someone on a budget!
