Lippmann - Just Walk Away Renee is a color that was created with Renee Zellweger. JWAR is a really dark, vampy reddish brown shade. I had seen many swatches of this before I got it and it was one I had on my list of wants.
While this is a nice color, I don't really see anything just special about it to warrant the $15 price tag I paid. The formula was really great, I must say. I didn't really have any control problems with this at all. It was just the right amount of thick and thinness (I'm sure you all know what I mean here, right?). I think I might have liked this color better if someone else had applied it to my nails. I don't know about you all, but I have a hard time applying really dark shades like this to my nail. If you don't get the first coat on somewhat even, you will see the unevenness of it when you put the second coat on. All of that is ok, if you plan on putting on a third coat. However, while I like darker shades, I prefer the color I get after only two coats (which is how it looks in the bottle), when you add the third, to me it is just too dark. It loses that gorgeous dark red color and starts heading into the black zone. I did add a third coat to my pinky nail just to show you the darkness I am talking about.
And of course, since this is a dark, shiny color I feel the need to constantly "shine" my nails on my shirt or pants every time it picks up a smudge (like every 5 seconds). Of course that isn't Lippmann's fault, it is a pet peeve I have about all nail polish shades like this.
While I do like this color (at two coats) and the formula is REALLY good, had I borrowed this from someone and used theirs, I would not have spend $15.00 to get my very own bottle.
