I was watching HSN a couple of weeks ago and saw this collection.....sometimes I like to watch make up and nail stuff on home shopping channels because it relaxes me. I also watch when they sell pillows, because when they fluff them up over and over and rub on the pillows, it makes me really relaxed. Yes, we've established already that I'm weird :-P. Anyway..........when they were talking about this collection of nail polishes and nail products, it peaked my interest because they said the consistency on the nails was kind of "spongy" or like "jello". I had heard about this new consistency of nail polishes but didn't know where I could get them. I also thought the model's nails looked really nice so I got my phone out, (because yes, I was too lazy to walk the 10 feet to my computer) got on my handy dandy HSN app and ordered it. The easy pay option always sucks me in. It was $44.50 which is a little steep (although for 6 bottles and a nice case, not unreasonable). BUT when you see $22.50 for 2 easy pays........I mean come on, how can you pass that up???? I was home sick this past Monday and what a co-inkidink, it came Monday. My daughter came over that night and we gave ourselves a Deborah Lippmann manicure. We used all 6 products. Which is alot for me. I usually slap on a couple of coats of polish and a top coat and I'm done. After doing the cuticle removing, cuticle oiling, primer, polish and top coat, we both sat back and admired our handiwork. And we were both impressed. The color I used (Supermodel) is a very vibrant shade of red in the bottle, but sheer at the same time. Lara's Theme is definitely more orangey. It's hard to explain the consistency. It's full coverage, but sheer at the same time. With one coat it is kind of like that plastic wrap they came out with to wrap up your food....you know, the hot pink, and green ones? But if you were to wrap the food a few times, that's what it would look like. No idea what I'm talking about?? Well I suggest you just buy it because I'm pretty sure you would love it. Each product does exactly what it says it will do. My cuticles came off with hardly any elbow grease, and the polish applied like a dream. Usually sheerer polishes are streaky.........even with one coat there was not a streak in sight. I used two coats so the color wasn't quite as red as in the bottle, but still very pretty. And really shiny, even without the top coat (which I used anyway, I mean, let's go all the way right?). I really enjoy the bag too, it's got 4 zippered plastic pockets (which when rolled up, you get the handy dandy carrying case). This is where I got mine... "HSN Website but unfortunately they are sold out. I tried to google and find it some place else, but no luck. On the website however they do have other kits, and lots of other colors (even more then the actual Deborah Lippmann website which is sold out of several shades) so I'm sure you could find another color you liked. They are a little more pricey at $18, but I'm telling you, if you like nail polish, it's worth it. I have Essie, OPI, China Glaze, Revlon, etc polishes in my collection and these put them to shame. At least IMO. If you don't want to spend the money yourself, you could always ask for them as a birthday or Christmas gift :-). Oh and one more thing. The pictures of my nails below are after 4 days of typing, showering, and washing dishes. And not a chip in sight. NICE!
