DLMS looks like vanilla soy milk and has a certain warmth to it. However, I don't think the formula is the best. I've worn this color three occasions and it's a bit streaky, it doesn't correct itself. Meaning, I don't think it has the best cohesive properties. Am I making any sense? Even China Glaze's fast forward top coat doesn't correct the streaks, which is one of the main reasons it is my go to top coat. DLMS might be okay with 3 or more coats, but really, I can't deal with polish that is that thick, it doesn't dry fast enough and I inevitably just end up denting my nails and they look horrible. In the last photo, the streaks are really apparent. Not good for premium polish.
I love the shape of DL's bottles. |
Camera lamp - here's where you can really see the streaks. Impromptu photo with ibuprofen bottle. |
I used one coat of DL's base coat, 2 coats of DLMS, and one coat China Glaze FF topcoat.
On a redeeming note, DLMS, gives your nails a clean and refined look and no one really noticed the streaks except for me. Plus DL is cruelty free and big 3 free.
Thanks for stopping by!
This is nice, but I don't know if I'd shell out the $$ for a Deborah Lippmann when I can get something similar for less--Essie has lots of shades like this! That's just coming from an unemployed college kid with too many hobbies though... haha ;P
ReplyDeleteI agree. Although I don't use Essie for animal testing reasons, they are owned by L'Oreal.
