“No one on the corner has swagga like us”….,
MIA said it first,then Deborah Lippmann seconed the notion….. Uhh apparently someone does Deborah..... Looking through my stash yesterday filled with indecisiveness about my mani I spotted both of the above near each other (laughing to myself, this is a set up), in the first pic on the left is “Gold Rush” by TheGap and “Swagga like us” by Deborah Lippmann; they had to have been seperated at birth. I’d claim them to be fraternal twins because their formula has 99% similarity, there is a distinct difference between the two and I plan to elaborate. Giving u a little known fact about myself, I am also a fraternal twin; my brother is 15 minutes older. We are extremely close but have different formulas to our biological makeup! I’ve painted my ring finger and pinky with TheGap polish. The Gap’s gold/bronze formula is lighter in texture and bears more green reflection in light, while DL’s polish is darker and keeps a gold/bronze appearance with less green reflection in light. The Gap polish costs $6 (it was on sale so I paid even less for that) while DL polish stands firm at msrp of $16. I must say that you don’t stand to lose if you choose theGap, sometimes the name just isn’t enough for product satisfaction. I won't be naive to think I stand alone with my dupe experience, link me with dupes you’ve compared if you like, i'd like to see it.

Bought me some CANDY
Hey everyone, I've been dying to try this polish since I got it a few weeks ago, Yes it is she Mrs. Deborah Lippmann. I broke down and paid the $16 for it, but luckily for me that day Nordstrom's was having a B2G1 FREE offer going on. This model is CANDY SHOP. Enclosed with the glitter is a light pink lacquer, but it's very light so I figured I'd polish it with OPI's "Pink-king of you" first. I just love it and it's just in time for my niece's 2nd Birthday this weekend. I was going to do some cupcake nail art using the Nails Inc. sprinkles top layer but I'll save that for another shinding. As a bonus in this post, I've decided to incorporate another love of mine which happens to be MUSIC; i'm not a musician but I love the art of all types of music. I will be relating my nails to songs, if I can't find the video I will post just the song. I hope you all enjoy it. I started to choose 50 Cent's Candy Shop, but then I felt like that was too recent and obvious so I chose the artist Cameo as my first video post Cameo :)....
