Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Private Dancer

As I mentioned not three days ago, I had bought some new Deborah Lippmann polishes from Nail Polish Canada. Lippmann released a new collection last month called Mirrored Chromes which, like the name suggests, is made up of multi-chrome shades. Since I am obviously a nail polish addict and feel the need to change my nail colour every two days, I decided to bust out the second shade I bought from Deborah Lippmann's Mirrored Chromes collection.

Private Dancer is a medium-dark blue-toned violet multi-chrome. Depending on the angle, it will reflect dark fuchsia, a red-toned purple, or a darker bronze-gold. This one is really hard to describe in words, because it looks so different in different lighting. Due to the metallic finish of the shade, brush strokes are visible on the nail. It goes on smoothly and evenly, but I did find it to have a thinner consistency with medium pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. I needed three coats for opacity. That having been said, Deborah Lippmann's polishes have a relatively fast dry time. What Lippmann excels at in her nail polish is the brush — it gives a beautiful, smooth, even application. It's just the right size to give clean, controlled strokes without smudging or going off the nail bed on to the skin. I also couldn't think of a dupe for this shade, which is always a bonus. I wouldn't necessarily turn to this shade for Spring and Summer, but it's a very pretty option all year round.
