Deborah Lippmann Let’s Go Crazy is a new glitter polish out this fall and is a Nordstrom exclusive.
Let’s Go Crazy is inspired by the Prince song of the same name, and what color always surrounds Prince? Purple of course! The glitter in this is multi-colored and multi-shaped.
Let’s check it out.
Let’s Go Crazy
Let’s Go Crazy has a very dark purple base and lavender, red, green, fuchsia, blue and gold glitter in both hexagonal and round shapes.
The polish is pretty thick because of all the glitter and it does tend to get a bit chunky. I used two coats here. Pretty good coverage in terms of the base cover covering nicely. The glitter is a bit heavy though and it tends to sit below the polish instead of on top where you can see it better. It makes it looks a little murky to me.
Availability: Nordstrom exclusive.
Pricing: $18.00 for .50 oz.
What do you think about Let’s Go Crazy? Are you willing to part with your hard-earned bucks for this glitter?

I think this might look pretty layered over another polish? On its own it does look quite thick!

Although I give Ms. Lippmann credit for her part in beginning the whole glitter polish variation scene that has sparked so many beautiful indie brands today, I think that this could be substituted for a lesser priced indie, that is out now.
Yeah that’s a thick one! It will probably look nice over a dark polish, purple, blue or black.
I really love the color! And I also like the fact you can wear this on it’s own.

Its nice but im not crazy about it, maybe it would better over a dark nail polish?
I’m not feeling the base color on that one. It just looks flat and murky.
I’m a bit disappointed after seeing the bottle shots. I hate when all that pretty, vibrant glitter sinks under the dark bases and just looks clumpy.
I wish the glitter didn’t get so covered up by the base color. Still pretty just not worth the price point.

I think I’d probably put down a black base first, but I love the glitter!

It looks pretty, but i think it would be better if the base wasn’t so dark.

It looks amazing in the bottle…but seeing how the glitter gets a little swallowed on the nail is a turn off. It would be much nicer if the glitter popped out more…I’d like to see it as a one coater over a base color.

I agree I think that it is a bit murky.

Not crazy about this one. For that price, I’ll pass.
I wouldn’t purchase this particular one for myself but it does have an interesting look!

The bottle shot is gorgeous, but on the nail it’s kinda meh to me.

Oy. Still no, Ms. Lippmann. Does anybody else feel like she accidentally ordered an entire truckload of this glitter and is just going to keep dumping it into different colored jellies until she runs out?
You have hit the “nail” on the head!
Possibly! I think the other problem I have with Lippman is that glitter polishes are the main area where indies can outdo the major companies. Why pay $18+ for one of hers when I can get a way more interesting glitter from an indie for $12 or less?
I guess I’m over glitter; pass.
Yuck. Very murky and unappealing. I am completely over the huge glitter particles thing (almost as much as the crackle thing and the magnetic thing). They are fun but not worth the trouble. I purchased a few and could never, ever get them to look really good on my nails…and I’ve been a DIYer for 40 years who gets compliments on my manis from high-end nail techs.
I like it, but not $18 worth. 🙂

I love her polishes, but I think butter London’s Dark Knight is a better alternative. I think it’s a little too dark for the amount of chunky glitter.
It looks like it is too thick by the looks of your nails, I hate to say it but this is really bad! NoThanks!

I thought this looked pretty cool when I saw it on the Nordstrom website the other day, but after seeing swatches, I’m going to pass. It looks entirely too chunky for my tastes.
I agree with Stephanie above. Darn because I was really excited about the prospect of giving this to my friend as a b-day gift! She loves Deborah Lippmann, purple, and Prince!!! But I don’t want to gift something I wouldn’t support myself.
It looks about a thousand times better over a base color – I’m currently wearing one coat over Barry M. Indigo and it’s really gorgeous.
I had high hope but I’m definitely NOT crazy about this! It’s too murky, the dark base covers the glitter 🙁
Hmm… It looks really nice in the bottle but not amazing on the nail! xx
Nah, I’ve been on the fence about this one but when I looked at other people’s swatches on the net it just didn’t say, “Come and buy me now!” I think maybe because the purple is too dark and you really can’t see the glitter well and as you noted the glitters sit under the polish as opposed to the black & pink older versions. Pass…..
It’s not singing to me.

I feel like Deborah Lippman’s colors and formulas have really been going downhill since Happy Birthday came out.
I got excited when I saw the bottle, but this is a terrible let down! It’s far to dark of a jelly to work with the big, heavy glitter. Thanks for all the postings though, I never seem to buy anything without seeing a swatch lately! 😉
The murky and sinking of glitter…they should have called it ‘Titanic.’ :/

I just got this tuesday! I’ll probably put it on today. doesn’t look too great… i was hoping it was along the lines of “Forget You” and “Candy Shop” but i guess time will tell! I hate chunky glitters from everyone except DL… I don’t know how she does it!
Gorgeous, I wish it looked more like the bottle shot though!
Im glad I didn’t pick this up. I look at it every time I’m at Nordstrom. It’s pretty in the bottle but the base is too dark. Thanks for swatch!
It doesn’t translate on the nails quite how I thought it would, so I’ll probably pass on this one.

Yeah, it looks much better in the bottle than it does on the nails :/

I may have to buy it just for the name.
(just like I bought Diamonds & Pearls and Purple Rain)
Good in theory, not in practice. Perhaps thinner would spruce it up a bit? Making the glitter show through more? Either way, this is one I’ll be passing.

Wow! So pretty but so expensive :{
It looks so pretty in the bottle but doesn’t look as nice on the nails. I will save my money for the sprinkles polish collection by nails inc.
Already ordered 😉 I absolutely LOVE DL polishes and will always get them. I can never find the dupes anyway lol.
This week has been my DL buying craze…I can’t wait to get them!
I think maybe doing a base coat color and then a coat of this might help it be less murky? But I think your nails look lovely!

i love DL for awesome glitter polishes, but why hasn’t she perfected this yet?? The polish costs way too much for awesome glitter in a murky base instead of a nice jelly letting the glitter show thru =(((((((((
