Okay, so my computer semi died while I was in California and I held it together basically with a hope and a prayer and on my first day back it seems to have fallen apart completely! Sigh, before I even got a chance to backup all my files and photos. I am going to do my best to keep updating every day but yeah. Frustrating kind of day!
so since i live in the UK i usually miss out on the awards show and so because i was in los angeles (leaving tonight!) i decided to watch the emmy’s. of course the best part was watching the arrivals! i loved all the dresses…man those ladies in their froufy dresses were lucky because it was only around 80F (and it had been around 107F the week before!!). but ridiculously talented manicurist and nail polish creator deborah lippmann showcased 3 different looks on 3 different people at the emmy’s, and the lippmann people very kindly provided pictures (including closeups!) and instructions on how to achieve the looks for us lowly non celebs!
read on and enjoy! (big celebratory 365 post to appear soon, promise!)
Lea Michele wore one of Deborah’s newest shades from the All That Jazz set called Lady Sings The Blues, a silver-sparkled navy blue.


Presenter January Jones wore Dark Side Of The Moon, an absolutely aubergine shade, in an almond shape. “To achieve the almond nail, file away the sides to create a tapered shape—just like an almond,” Lippmann instructs. “The idea is to create an elegant, elongated shape, not a severe point.”


(i personally LOVE this contrast. i would’ve NEVER thought to pair a vamp with the bright blue…which is why i don’t invent nail colours and lippmann does!)
and then this came into my inbox as part of the deborah lippmann mailing list (which you should join!! no nail blog, special anything necessary…it’s a great way to find out about new products or special deals!!!)
