If there’s one thing that Deborah
Lippmann does well (which may be hard to declare what with her unique square
bottles, luxe formulas, and on-trend pigments) it’d have to be those glitter
polishes. From the cult classic Happy Birthday chunky glitter to her recent
scintillating Mermaids summer offering, the nail veteran is known for paints
that sparkle and shine in whole new ways. Now for fall, Lippmann is dialing up
the dazzle factor to its very brink with the all-new holographic Jewel Heist
collection.
Launching this month, the offering is
inspired by the flash and opulence of sapphires, emeralds, and pure gold. The
six-piece line includes glowing crèmes ($17), gleaming shimmers ($17), and
glistening prismatic mega-glitters ($19). We caught up with Lippmann in a brief
interview to ask what we can expect from her new ever-twinkly lineup. (Note:
sunglasses sold separately.)
What was your inspiration for Jewel Heist and
what made you choose the colors you did for this fall collection?
I love jewelry and am always
inspired by beautiful jewel tones, especially for fall. This collection
includes luxurious hues of gold, emerald and sapphire—it’s like wearing jewelry
on your nails, but you can do it yourself. The collection offers classic,
subtler shades, with complementary glitter that can be layered or worn
alone. There are both sophisticated and chic hues and opulent
versions. This allows an option for every mood and occasion.
We've seen holographic polishes floating around
here and there for a few seasons now. What makes these so unique and on-trend
now for fall?
The mega-holographic polish in this
collection is new to my glitter range. It offers a high-impact reflection
of a full spectrum of color. Texture in general is also a huge trend for
fall—whether it’s a holographic glitter, a matte finish, or a layered
look. This collection offers options for simplicity or layering.
How can we make such a sparkly look more wearable
for every day?
You could paint just an accent nail
or make the rest of your look very simple. Let your nails be the
statement, with very minimal makeup, straight or pulled-back hair, and simple
clothing without patterns otherwise. Also, for a subtle hint of sparkle,
you could place a dab of glitter on the tip of the nail to create a modern French
manicure (which I call a duet), or an ombré look.
