Deborah Lippmann's Careless Whisper ($17 for 0.50 fl oz/15 ml) is a sparkling champagne nude. It's a sheerish sparkle that is easy to apply but requires three coats for full coverage. It's not as sheer as Diamonds and Pearls (which I don't own but have tested at Nordstrom). Careless Whisper has a lovely sheen that comes from the multi-colored sparkles suspended in a beige base. It has an iridescent sheen but looks very natural on the hands.
Here it is swatched with three coats:
Comparisons to a few other nudes: Dolce & Gabbana Nude, Chanel Lily Beige (discontinued), Dior Beige Lotus, Deborah Lippmann Naked and Butter London All Hail McQueen.
Overall love. It's a beautiful natural nude that has a lovely sheen.










Wow, this is really delicate and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis has to be one of the most gorgeous nude polishes I have EVER seen! Definitely need this one!
ReplyDeleteSubtle and pretty. Really like the color.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - it has a lovely sparkle!
ReplyDeleteHow does it compare to Mariah's "A Butterfly Momemt" OPI polish?
ReplyDeleteDeborah Lippmann's Careless Whisper is more beige and sparkly while the OPI is more pink and metallic. Both are neutrals, but Deborah Lippmann's is more natural/flesh toned. Hope this helps!
DeleteI love beige/nude nails. The color looks really pretty. I'm not feeling the shimmer though :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sabrina--- What a beautiful sheen! It makes Careless Whisper a clean look on your nails, especially in the third picture!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous - I love a good shimmering nude polish.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I purchase this lovely color?
ReplyDeleteI love this nude color with your complexion!!! I looks very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Absolutely beautiful. It's like a beiger/less pink version of Zoya Melodie. Completely love it
ReplyDeletethis is just the effect I was hoping for from Chanel Emprise. Love and thanks for the swatches.
