Deborah Lippmann began working as a manicurist to pay the bills while she pursued her lifelong dream of becoming a jazz vocalist. When celebrities and magazine editors began clamoring for appointments with her, Lippmann turned her day job into a career. Soon thereafter, Allure magazine listed her as one of the top manicurists in the U.S. In spite of her divergent career path, Lippmann has never lost her love for music. With occasional help from her famous clientele, which includes the likes of Cher and Mariah Carey, Lippmann designs her own shades of long-wearing nail lacquer. Every shade is named after a famous song or custom-created for their famous singers. From the confetti-in-a-bottle “Happy Birthday” to the black-and-red-glitter “Ruby Red Slippers,” every Deborah Lippmann nail polish is one-of-a-kind.
