Deborah Lippmann (original) Happy Birthday

Why yes, I do wear this every year on my birthday.  =)




This was the first true glitter bomb polish I ever saw and I simply had to have it.  I got it for myself as a Christmas present, a long with a mini set of Devil in a Blue Dress (stains!) and Good Girl Gone Bad (love!).  I believe I should swatch those 2 sometime...

Look at the shiny! ♥

This is 2 dabbed-on coats of (original) Happy Birthday, over 2 coats of Prelude to a Kiss, a semi-sheer nude/pink creme, also by Lippmann.  

While Prelude is a gorgeous neutral, its not a color I would have ever shelled out big bucks for.  But it was on clearance, the only full-size Lippmann I have ever seen discounted, and at just this one store. My mother absolutely loves it. She says it is THE longest wearing polish she's ever worn, by far.
