 As a Deborah Lippmann fangirl one of the highlights of New York Fashion Week is getting to chat with her backstage. She always has a great color story to tell and seems genuinely excited to see me. I’m not going to lie, it makes me feel like a bit of a rock star. She really knows how to make a girl feel special. It’s really no wonder she has such a celebrity following.
I’ve had the chance to catch up with Deb at both the ADAM and Lela Rose runway shows and was able to get a preview of her new nail colors for Spring and Summer 2011. Curious to see what she cooked up? Find out after the jump! |

 Birthday girl Lea Michele ruled the Emmy red carpet in a stunning navy Oscar De La Renta gown. The Glee star, who IMO should have won for Best Actress, glowed from head to toe. She is my pick for best dressed of the night and in some shots I’ve seen, she strongly resembled Penelope Cruz. After all they do both love Mr. De La Renta’s frocks.
Lea’s glam squad was comprised of Makeup Artist Melanie Inglessis for NARS, Hair Stylist Mark Townsend for Dove and Manicurist Deborah Lippmann. Melanie Inglessis used NARS new Pure Matte Lipstick in Tashkent and while I was leery about the whole matte lip trend taking us back to 90s, it looks beautiful on Lea.
Pairing dramatic winged eye liner with nude lips and full, tousled hair, Lea’s nails were painted a deep, dark hue to match her dress. Can you guess what polish Deborah used? |

Let me start by saying that I love January Jones playing the least likely candidate for mother-of-the-year on Mad Men and I think she’s a beautiful woman BUT what was going on with her dress last night at the Emmys? I’m not generally a fan of the short in the front, long in the back look but when you add in the fish scale pattern it looks a little too mermaid-esque for my taste. Regardless, her nails were on point!
Celebrity Manicurist Deborah Lippmann worked with January to give her a dark, dramatic manicure. She shaped January’s nails into elongated ovals, Deb’s favorite shape, and painted them a deep plum hue.
Deb’s color of choice, Dark Side of the Moon from her eponymous line of nail polish.
What do you think of January’s look from the Emmys? Do you agree with her nail color selection?
Deborah Lippmann Dark Side of the Moon retails for $16/ea and can be purchased online at DeborahLippmann.com, Nordstrom.com and Beauty.com.
 After a long weekend in Michigan celebrating the boyfriend’s birthday I returned home last night to attend a fabulous Emmy Awards party hosted by Pauline (aka OHmommy) of Classy Chaos. Pauline invited a few local bloggers and frequent blog commenters to her home to indulge in some delish food and salon treatments courtesy of Suave.
A local salon, Salon Blu, treated us to manicures and hair styling while we watched the show, imbibed wine and munched on yummy eats from Maggiano’s Little Italy. Needless to say, it was a great night.
I usually watch the Emmys on my own so it was a fun twist to tune in with other TV fanatics and mingle with my fellow CLE bloggers. Of course the big question was what do I wear on my nails?
I ended up layering Deborah Lippmann Today Was A Fairytale from her upcoming Holiday 2010 collection over China Glaze Sea Spray, one of the shades in the Spring 2011 collection strong>, Anchors Away. |

If you’ve been wanting to try Deborah Lippmann polishes but your budget has kept you from taking the plunge, today is your day. Deborah Lippmann products will be on Gilt.com today starting at NOON EST. The deals on Gilt are usually pretty good so here’s your chance to snatch up some Lippmann shades for less than retail.
If you aren’t familiar with Gilt, it’s a sample sale site similar to Hautelook, Rue La La, Ideeli, etc. Every day they list new sales that run for a limited time. It’s designer goods at a discount and it’s pretty addictive but some of the sales are so fabulous. I got the cutest gray leather Betsey Johnson bag during a Bag Borrow or Steal Private Event sale and I’ve been carrying it nonstop.
If you end up shopping the sale, let me know what you bought. I’m hoping they have her Steppin Out foot creme since it looks like it’s been discontinued and the boyfriend used up my whole tub. That’s what I get for sharing with him!
Disclosure: The links in this post are referral links. If you sign up for Gilt or any sample sale site and make a purchase I will receive a small commission for the referral just like any other member. For more info view my Disclosure Policy.
