It also includes <strong><a href="http://www.temptalia.com/lippmann-collection-ruby-red-slippers-nail-lacquer-photos-swatches">Ruby Red Slippers</a></strong> and <strong>Funky Chunky</strong> (which is similar to Ruby Red Slippers, except it&#8217;s a black jelly base with black glitter).</p>
<p>While I don&#8217;t love <strong>Superstar </strong>quite as much as <em>Ruby Red Slippers</em>, I do love it quite a bit!  The black-brown jelly base with the small-sized muted copper-orange glitter particles looks ridiculously perfect for the fall/Halloween.  In fact, as soon as I finish up swatching up a few more polishes I&#8217;ve been meaning to review, I&#8217;m going to be doing an alternating manicure of <em>Ruby Red Slippers</em> and <em>Superstar </em>for Halloween.  Ahh, so perfect!</p>
<p><em>Superstar </em>goes opaque and full-on glitter within two medium-thick coats of lacquer, and it dries pretty fast, actually, even without a fast drying top coat.  </p>
<p>As with any glitter polish, removal isn&#8217;t the easiest or quickest, but I consider it something that just goes with the territory.   I know some dislike the clean-up rituals associated with glitter polishes, but I didn&#8217;t find it too time consuming or difficult.  My technique is to take a cotton pad soaked in remover and let it sit on my nail for about 2-3 seconds (just press the pad against the nail), then move to another nail, repeat&#8230; and then go back and remove the polish. </p>
<p>Superstar is currently only available in the Celebrate Set, so value-wise, it&#8217;s a good deal, since you get three for $35, rather than $16 a pop.</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>Recommendation</strong>:  I&#8217;m slowly falling in love with Lippmann lacquers.  The glitter is so sparkly and glitzy&#8211;I die!  If you love glitter, this is a great set.</p></blockquote>
