You couldn’t wait to get your pastel fix on during the springtime and then you couldn’t wait to paint blazing oranges and classy corals on your fingertips during the summer. But what is a girl to do when August dies down, Labor day rolls around, your tan is still intact but your nail color options are played out?

You choose “Don’t Tell Mama” by Deborah Lippmann, of course. Though the product description mentions “mistletoe” and uses holiday diction, I’ve found potential for this product elsewhere. In a whole different season. 

From an all-black to an all-white outfit for those Labor Day weekend parties, “Don’t Tell Mama” is wearable with any outfit. A major plus? It complements your tan! This deep shimmery green will take you from those final beach days into those Indian Summer stints right into when the leaves turn color. 

DB is the equivalent to the Holy Grail of nail color (big statement, yes, especially when I hold Essie so close to heart). Quality nail polish, quirky/cheeky names and colors to die for, all of Deborah Lippman’s nail colors are worthy of your time (and money).
