Lady Sings The Blues is a a glitter polish. Silver, hex glitter (small and large) is suspended in dark navy jelly.
I know from previous experience that it can be difficult to build up glitter polish like this. So, I used dark navy, cream polish as a base (Nails Inc Motcomb Street), before applying 1 coat of LSTB. It dried quickly, but the finish looked dull. It brightened up after a coat of top coat.
Some glitters looked silver, creating a striking contrast with the dark base colour. But, disappointingly, most glitters were partially/completely covered in blue jelly.
I don’t hate this polish, but I don’t love it either. My score represents its mediocracy. Bearing in mind how much DL’s polishes cost, it’s fair to say I will not be repurchasing.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie–this polish might not look too exciting at first glance, but in natural light is where it really shines…literally! The dark blue base comes off as navy dancing dangerously close to black indoors, but out in the sun it transforms to a gorgeous deep royal blue. This is also when the tiny flecks of glitter, nearly invisible most of the time, come out and twinkle along with the bigger hexagonal glitter chunks, which appear to be floating in the jelly-ish base. It’s a jelly sandwich in one bottle! The great thing about the Lippmann glitters is that they’re a little more sophisticated than your average sparkler and tend more towards the sophisticated side, so if you’re looking for in-your-face bling here you will likely be disappointed. Lady Sings the Blues is one of DL’s more subtle glittery offerings, true, but that doesn’t mean it’s boring! It reminds me of my very first “fancy” nail polish, the bottle of Chanel’s Night Sky (or something similar) that I dropped a whopping $15 on at age 16–I was enamored of the deep, silky blue that reminded me of a cloudy night sky and this one is my grown-up variation on that theme.
A word on application: As with all my DL glitters, it’s best if you apply this one with the least amount of strokes possible so that the larger sequins don’t get totally dragged off the nail. Even so, it’s very difficult to get an even application to where all nails look uniform, so I’ve just learned to embrace that there will be more shiny bits on some nails than others. C’est la vie. What I do is I apply a thinner first coat, and then a thicker second coat. This polish is opaque in two coats, and I find that going thicker the second time leaves more pieces of glitter closer to the top to show them off to their full advantage.
The other thing I must warn you about is that all the DL glitters I own, including this one, are finicky about what kind of top coat they like. If you use the wrong one, you will wind up what looks like an insane amount of tip wear *immediately.* I’m not even talking about the next day, I’m talking about just as soon as your nails are dry, and even if you wrap your tips. The Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in the red bottle that I used to use does NOT play nice with this polish, and it took me forever to figure out why I had this very noticeable strip of white at the tips of my nails. It shrinks DL glitters badly, so stay away from that. The best top coat I’ve found to work with these is Deborah Lippmann’s Addicted to Speed–it does not shrink the glitter polishes, and the difference is like night and day. I apply the polish and then a coat of Addicted to Speed, making sure to wrap it under the tips as well, and then a second coat (just because I like my glitters smooth). This keeps the polish from wearing and after 4+ days, my nails look pretty much just like they did freshly painted. No shrinking, no chipping!
Whew. That was long. I’ll just sum it up by saying that Lady Sings the Blues is a staple in my nail polish drawer, one I keep going back to over and over. As far as classic, sophisticated blues go, this one is perfection.

I’m amazed that there are no reviews for this sublime polish. It’s a jelly glitter (“jelly sandwich,” if you prefer) with small round sapphire blue glitter and fairly sparse silver microglitter in a sheer black base. It needs to be applied over black polish – my pic shows 2 thick coats of LStB over one of black. The bokeh effect of the blue glitter in the black base is highlighted just enough by the silver glitter – though the silver is there, you don’t really notice it. The end effect is gorgeous – it reminds me of the ocean, of rain on a window, of the city at night…this polish is perfect for me. The only flaw is that it shows tipwear quickly (as in after my next shower), but I might never wear anything else again anyway, so it doesn’t matter!
