Deborah Lippmann GIRLS Collection Swatches & Review
Deborah Lippmann and HBO have partnered together for a limited edition collection based on the HBO series GIRLS.
Each one of these shades is inspired by one of the four girls on the show, and I have to say, the colors match the characters pretty perfectly! I caught up on season 1 a couple months ago and am now watching season 2. Great show!
Here is some background on the characters in case you don’t watch:
- Marnie – She’s the more responsible and serious of the four. She worked in an art gallery so a soft, conservative shade fits well.
- Shoshanna – She’s a fast-talking, kooky character. Innocent and a bit of a late bloomer so a shimmery purple suits her.
- Hannah – The star of the show (written by and played by Lena Dunham) is a struggling writer who can be moody and quirky, but very loyal (ish). The non-so-common green suits her really well.
- Jessa – She is a bohemian Brit. Very free, very spiritual in a strange way. This burgundy red creme is a great one for Jessa.
Marnie
Marnie is a soft ballet pink. It is a wee bit streaky even with three thin coats. Still a nice “responsible” shade.
Shoshanna
Shoshanna is a medium violet with slight shimmer. Really nice shade I like the subtle shimmer. Great formula, very smooth and just two coats.
Hannah
Hannah is a medium/deep muted hunter green. It has a dusty quality to it, which I love. Very unique and cool. It was just two coats.
Jessa
Jessa is a deep burgundy red creme. I had some problems getting this one completely even with the coverage. Take your time in-between coats or you’ll wind up with cuticle drag. This was three coats.
Overall: I think these shades really do match these characters very well, so right on Deborah! The most unique one was definitely Hannah but I really liked Shoshanna as well.
Availability: February 1st at HBO.com, Neiman Marcus and Deborah Lippmann.
Pricing: $45 for the set (only comes as a set, sorry!)
What do you think about GIRLS? Do you also watch the show?

I love Shoshanna and I love her shade the best. The rest are…blah
Your swatches are beautiful, as usual, I just feel like I’ve seen these colors before, in other, more affordable brands.
I’ve recently started to get into the show as my mom has been watching it. I think this would be a good set for us to have to share. I’ve been trying to get her to wear more bright/non neural shades so this would be fun. Ordering it now. Great swatches and glad that your website is back up!!

Love Hannah! like Billionaire muted and jaded out.
gorgeous swatches!
I don’t really care for any of these, but Girls is my absolute favorite show, so I feel like I NEED it, anyway.
Shoshanna is easily my favorite – love the shade and the delicate sparkle in it’s finish! So pretty! <3
Ooh! Hannah is lovely! I really like the dusty quality to it.
All these shades look wonderful on you, Kelly, but I really think the red pops the most on you!

I’ve watched it since it premiered. I love it! I really want this set but not happy that they aren’t sold separately. I might just get it and give Marnie away to my sister. I don’t like those soft pink shades. Thanks for the swatches!
I am so in love with Hannah!
How do you think it compares to OPI’s Mermaid Tears and YSL’s new Imperial Jade?
I want to buy it, but hate that it only comes in the set! The other colors are just meh to me!
I just started watching the show, and while I like the idea of the shades representing each girl, I don’t want to spend $45 for some colors I may never use. Maybe, hopefully, they will be split up at some point.
