Hot Topic Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance Dupe? Swatch

As promised, here is the lovely I found yesterday. The mall wasn't very crowded, but I got there 20 minutes after they opened. First I ventured into Hot Topic and picked up what I heard was similar to Bad Romance. This was my first time in their store and they had a pretty decent polish collection. I also went to Anthropoligie for the first time. I was trying to figure out their target audience and asked the SA, but the question threw her off guard. They had a wide range of $$$ products and many of them were in a neutral palette, so I figured they were pretty conservative.

Anyhow, here is the pretty I found, an unnamed black jelly with purple glitter. It came in a 2-pack with a purple creme.

I was pleasantly surprised with this little polish. As you can see, it's super shiny and gorgeous! I'm not sure if my mind was playing tricks on me, but it smelled like candy. The box is labeled as a mini set and it retails for $4.99. A great buy if you have been lemming Bad Romance or if you like great glitters. I don't own a bottle of BR, but it looks very similar to the pictures I have seen.

I also got a Matteo Olivieriff, a StrangeBeautiful polish from Anthropologie. They're on sale for $3.99 if you're willing to brave the mall. Have a great Monday!

  3. @L. It was really dark in the store and hard to tell what it looked like. I wanted to ask the SA if I could go into the hall but she was busy with another customer.

    @RMcandlelight. Thank you. Yes. I got it from Hot Topic at the mall. I'm not sure if its part of their permanent line or a Holiday gift set. They were near the register and below the polish rack.

  10. Not sure about all Hot Topic stores but I bought this yesterday for 50% off the sale price of 98 cents for the set! omg, that's 25 cents a bottle. (I bought a few to stash away, my bad lol)

    I noticed that its' colouration is very similar to WnW's "Night Prowl" which has the fine glitter whereas this one is the chunkier version. Both nice tho. :)
