Deborah Lippmann Moon Rendezvous Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
Deborah Lippmann Moon Rendezvous Nail Lacquer
Deborah Lippmann Moon Rendezvous Nail Lacquer ($17.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a “faded slate-blue shimmer.” It’s a muted, cool-toned blue shot through with silver and icy blue shimmer. There’s a definite gray-ish cast to it that gives it that “slate-blue” coloring as described. I thought the finish was more metallic than shimmer, though. Butter London Lady Muck has a completely different finish, and it looks a bit bluer because it has less shimmer/sheen. Rescue Beauty Lounge Concrete Jungle is a cream, but it has a similar gray-blue coloring.
I couldn’t think of another polish that I’ve covered that has this color with this kind of finish. It has a very metallic finish, and as a result, there are brush strokes or threads of metallic shimmer that are visible even in muted, natural light. On the plus side, it has a faster drying time than the average polish, which tends to be true of metallic finishes as well. The consistency wasn’t thick or really thin, but there was a slight wateriness to the formula that took some getting used to. I was going to redo these swatches, but I’m short on time (and long on polishes to review) and I know Deborah Lippmann’s spring shades are going fast. I had no trouble getting full, opaque color coverage in two coats, though. I recommend waiting for each coat to dry, because it is unforgiving if you try to apply the next coat too soon–it will pull. I typically get a week of wear out of Deborah Lippmann’s polishes.

It looks strangely goopy in the swatch pictures. I thought that when I saw it on Facebook and think its looks goopy more so now that I see a bigger picture!
I thought the exact same thing! That’s the only reason I’m here lol, I almost never even wear polish.
Well, I love nail polish but this looks off-putting in the swatches. It’s pretty in the bottle though.
Interesting shade, but the brush strokes put me off. Probably because today I had the hardest time applying a new O.P.I. lacquer without streaking >:-( Got me all frustrated.
That’s actually more interesting than I thought it’d be, based on the bottle pic! But still…the finish isn’t special enough for me to shell out seventeen bucks for it. Not when I’ve already got [embarrassingly high number] of grey/slate polishes…
My O.P.I. Moonraker looks like a close enough duplicate for me. Silver with slight light bluish tinge? Yeah this looks the same. OPI is loads cheaper, too!
Hi Christine!
I wanna ask you about what kind of illumination you use…The colors always seem so real…Do you use warm or cold lamps?
Thank you!
I think they’re warm? They’re hot!
The color is gorgeous! ^^ Moon Rendezvous is a great, fitting name too.
Eh. You can find good silver nail polish in almost every line, from high end to the cheapest drug store brand. To me, it’s just not a shade that is unique enough to spend $17 dollars on it, especially when you can find shades that are similar for well under $10.
I just found your website a few days ago, and I just spent about 20 minutes reading some of your nail polish reviews. I especially love the pictures you include, because I have to see things to get an idea of what they look like. (Reading a description is good, but doesn’t give me a clear understanding of what it truly looks like). I was wondering if maybe you could put pictures of the nail polish dupes together in the review?
Perhaps put them side by side, or one dupe under the others.
I think seeing the dupes all together would give the readers a better way of comparing them.
I know you post pictures of the dupes under their own review, but by the time I click on the link and look at the swatch, I’ve already forgotten what the first polish looked like! Lol
Short term memory, I guess! Lol
Do you think this idea might be possible?
Thanks!

Hi Tracey!

You can look at all the red nail polishes together and move the shades around (just click and hold, then drag) so you can compare them side-by-side 🙂
