| Deborah Lippmann Footloose and Almost Paradise |
I have to admit, they are pretty and I LOVE the bottles.
First up, Footloose. I'd call this one a tomato red because it has lots of orange in it. I thought it was a creme, but it's more of a crelly, in my opinion - more on the jelly side than the creme side for sure. The application was decent, but it took three coats for full opacity. Shown with three coats and no top coat.

Comparison between Footloose and Essie Clambake:
Which brings us to Almost Paradise. This is a celery green creme. The formula is a bit goopy and it took three coats and I still had trouble getting it to even out - it's definitely not self-leveling. Notice the imperfections in the application. And I really did my best, which is usually pretty darned good.

Overall, I'm a bit disappointed. I'm not a jelly fan or a fan of three-coaters. Footloose is wearable, but I'm not sure how often I'll reach for it just because of the 3 coats it requires for full opacity. Those of you who love jellies and aren't opposed to a little VNL will adore it. I really LOVE the color of Almost Paradise, but I probably won't ever reach for it knowing what a fight I had with the formula.
It's a good thing I wore Mermaid's Dream first! The formula and application were fantastic on that one.
What do you think? Do you have them? Are the wonderful colors worth a bit of an application problem?
