Lippmann Collection Superstar Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
Lippmann Collection Superstar Nail Lacquer ($35.00 for 3 0.5 oz. lacquers) is another shade that’s part of Lippmann Collection “Celebrate” Nail Set. It also includes Ruby Red Slippers and Funky Chunky (which is similar to Ruby Red Slippers, except it’s a black jelly base with black glitter).
While I don’t love Superstar quite as much as Ruby Red Slippers, 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’ve been meaning to review, I’m going to be doing an alternating manicure of Ruby Red Slippers and Superstar for Halloween. Ahh, so perfect!
Superstar 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.
As with any glitter polish, removal isn’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’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… and then go back and remove the polish.
Superstar is currently only available in the Celebrate Set, so value-wise, it’s a good deal, since you get three for $35, rather than $16 a pop.

Recommendation: I’m slowly falling in love with Lippmann lacquers. The glitter is so sparkly and glitzy–I die! If you love glitter, this is a great set.

Wow! That would be great for Halloween.
gorgeous! i never picked up superstar because i wasn’t sure how its bronze/brown tones would look against my skin, but i love the way it looks on you! so blingy and fun!
my jaw dropped when i saw this. too beautiful and you’re right, perfect for fall.
This is such a lovely collection, I would wear these on weekends and for the up coming holidays.
Aw crap, I love it… but it is now backordered until 11/20 at Nordstrom.com (and Im in North Carolina so there are no Nordstrom stores to try)…. gahhhh!!!!!!
All I can say is whoa 3!
Oh and there is going to be a Nails Night Out in NYC on the 24th! http://www.pitchengine.com/free-release.php?id=30363
