NOTD: Deborah Lippmann Bitches Brew and GIVEAWAY
It's FINALLY getting cold here in southwest, and I am so glad because I've been ready to wear vampy shades. One shade that was sitting in my un-tried box was Deborah Lippmann Bitches Brew.

Bitches Brew is a dark burgundy with a gorgeous shimmer. The vampiness of it makes it perfect for this time of year. I was so impressed with the formula- 2 coats was perfect, and it dried so fast with my topcoat of Nubar Diamont.
I purchased Bitches Brew along with some other Deborah Lippmann products at Apothica.com.

NOTD: China Glaze Sugar Plums

from the 'Tis the Season to be Naughty and Nice collection
I love purples and plums and figured I'd love this. While I did love the color, I found the finish to be somewhat bumpy, even with a topcoat. It's not enough to keep me from wearing the color, it was just a strange finish.
This is two coats, topped with Nubar Diamont.

NOTD: China Glaze Mummy May I

And even though I didn't think the effect on the nail was the same as in the bottle, I still thought it was pretty.
What do you think?
