Several weeks ago, in the course of my normal swatching rounds, I passed by the Lippmann polish display in Nordstrom. They move the unit from time to time, and somehow they’d managed to put it on a counter so that a spotlight fell on a single polish (at least, that’s how I remember it): Supermodel.
Supermodel is an orange-red creme. It’s sheer, which means it builds to a beautiful, juicy, jelly finish. This shade was a collaboration with model (and great-granddaughter of Ernest) Dree Hemingway. Deborah Lippmann polishes are $16 each.
I “visited” Supermodel at the counter for weeks. I test-painted a few fingers. Did I own anything else like it? Finally I had to cave.
If you really can’t stand Visible Nail Line, this is not the polish for you. But I love it. This is three coats of color, plus topcoat.
I LOVE the color! I am against VNL and VPL (nail lines and panty lines). Any ideas for a similar color?
I thing the OPI Texas collection has similar jelly (sorbet) corally reds/red corals
There’s something so enticing about those jelly finishes. And this color looks lovely with your skintone!
I love this on you, so pretty and summery.
This a a beautiful color on your gorgeous hands!!
Kat, if you’re looking for a creme (non-jelly) version of this color, maybe OPI’s Color So Hot It Berns> (http://karlasugar.net/2010/07/opi-swiss-collection/ and http://karlasugar.net/2010/07/opi-color-so-hot-it-berns/) Or Zoya Maura? (http://karlasugar.net/2010/04/zoya-flash-and-sparkle/)
But AlexandraRC says you can hide VNL by using ridgefiller, and it won’t change the color or alter the finish. She says you might even be able to stop at 2 coats instead of 3.
I had no idea that had a Jelly finish. That is GORGEOUS!!! Another one to add to my list. I just started buying Lippmann polishes about a month ago and I already have about 10. LOVE THEM! Thanks so much for introducing this shade to me. I hadn’t paid attention.
This is such a gorgeous color on you Karla! It’s bright for summer with the the right amount of red and coral.
