When I heard Fashion Bug had a dupe to OPI's coveted Mad as a Hatter, I scurried to their site to order a bottle. I'm not sure why hearing about a dupe makes me want it even more, but it really is fiscally irresponsible. On the bright side, now I can compare the two.

Multi Red, Mad as a Hatter

As you can see, they are not dead on dupes, but they are similar. Multi Red has more red, and the glitter looks slightly bigger than MaaH. From a distance, though, the difference is trivial. So, if you missed out on MaaH, perhaps Multi Red will satisfy your lemming.

Blagger is such a gorgeous blue! The color is so rich and pigmented, and I got so many compliments when I wore it (plus!). It applied like a dream too. It a close competition between Blagger and Lady Muck for my favorite of the collection.

1 coat of Bring on the Bling over 1 coat of 170

A beautiful friend of mine sent me a bunch of Depend polishes recently, and I love every single one of them to bits! 170 (oh how I wish they had names) is a dusty blue, which is right up my alley. It applied like a dream and is super pigmented! One coat gave me perfect coverage. I wore 170 on its own for a few days and then added Deborah Lippmann Bring on the Bling. BotB is such a stunning shimmer! It looks great over everything.

Depend is not available in the US, but maybe you can nudge a Nordic friend to snag a bottle for you. I hear they're very affordable. :)

Bring on the Bling is $20 retail and availabe at deborahlippmann.com

Uhhh, can we say stunning? Lady Muck is a gorgeous pale blue-grey with a fine silver shimmer. I love that the shimmer doesn't hide in this one, unlike the other pale blues that have been release lately. It's totally out and proud, hehe. It applied very nicely, too. I haven't had much problem with my Butters. They're usually really easy to work with.

I layered Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air over it:

Pretty, but Lady Muck is a star all on its own. Glitter in the Air has this beautiful blue microglitter that totally surprised me. It makes the polish even more interesting than I'd expected. I originally swatched Glitter in the Air on its own, but it just looks weird. I couldn't get to the bottle color after 4 coats, so I quit. Still, it's beautiful over tons of different shades. Swatches over Naked, its Spring buddy, coming soon.

Lady Muck isn't available on Butter London's site, but you can find it on Amazon for close to retail ($14).

Glitter in the Air is available on deborahlippmann.com for $18.
