Deborah Lippmann : Across the Universe & Discover the Journey Campaign

Deborah Lippmann’s biotin & green tea infused luxe lacquer contributes to a beautiful world

in more ways than one

Have you hopped aboard the glitter train this season?  Because I tell you, it is going to be one long and shiny ride.  Glitter is all things to nails from now through at least s/s 2011 and Deborah Lippmann is a queen of the craft.  A New York manicurist turned brand creator and jazz singer (she was kind enough to autograph her cds for me and a client) she arguably has one of the prettiest packaging in the industry with the highest glitter content around.

There are soooo many fun colors (Happy Birthday, Bad Romance, et al) it is hard to focus on one. And I won’t! But for this post I’ll want to tell you about this knockout color:

Across the Universe is a dark blue based jelly polish with multi-sized glitter in blue and green, with hex glitters.  It is dark and sultry and mesmerizing.  Flashy and demure.  The inkiness of this lends to a more versatile polish while giving it a bit of mystery.  Lippmann said her goal was to create a color that captured time and space and it has been done.   Not only that, but the goal is to raise money for the Discovery the Journey campaign.  Deborah was whisked off as we were chatting to give a manicure to the very tired fashion blogger Tavi.  Fashion TV actually came looking for her and were told she had already gone to bed (sorry, Tavs).  Listen in as Deborah’s hubba-hubba husband dishes on the fundraiser:

How simple is that?  Indulge yourself in this beautiful polish, take a pic of your hands or feet and upload it to the Deborah Lippmann website, and DL donates $1 for every photo submitted through the end of the year.  This polish only takes two thin coats to get to opaque.  Deborah Lippmann polishes run $18 and can be purchased online or at several locations, including Barneys New York.  Let me know if you upload your photo for this fundraiser!
