deborah lippmann I’ll Take Manhattan
Anyway, onto the polish and the Manhattan that is located in New York City. The fall 2014 deborah lippmann New York Marquee collection was inspired by art deco and 1940′s New York.
I’ll Take Manhattan is a chrome or metallic finish teal that walks the frosted polish line. There’s a good amount of shimmer in this polish but the finish saves it from inching into the frosted category.
Metallic finish polishes have been very popular among almost every polish brand I can think of over the last several years. I have used many of them and the formula of the deborah lippman luxe chrome finish polishes far exceeds all of them.
The formula goes on smoothly. I didn’t have any problems with brush strokes or uneven application. If you’ve had problems with metallic finish polishes in the past I would highly recommend giving these polishes from deborah lippmann a try.
I’m so excited about this collection. Not only are the individual polishes gorgeous but the nail art potential is endless! I can’t wait to play with them.
The New York Marquee collection is currently available at Sephora and on Amazon.

A few tips to make application as easy as possible:
- Choose your base coat wisely. I used Amour Sticky Base. If the polish doesn’t go on smoothly try using your top coat as a base coat.
- Work quickly. These polishes dry fast.
- Make sure your first coat is completely dry before applying a second coat. If the polish is still wet it will drag.
- If you have imperfections in your nail that are showing through (much less of a problem with the lippmann metallics) try this tip to hide them.
- You can use a top coat with these polishes. Again, just make sure to work quickly.
