Deborah Lippmann ~ Mermaid's Dream

While I won two Deborah Lippmann polishes in a giveaway recently, I've never diminished the bank account to purchase one. All that went out the window when I laid my blue eyes on Deborah's Spring 2012 promo photo of Mermaid's Dream. It looked multi-dimensional and very unique. I ordered it as soon as I could from Nordstrom. As I counted down the days I received a backorder notice (cries) but it only lasted 3-4 days. I used her as soon as she arrived in the mail.

Like a mermaid, this polish is magical and I was happy I spent the extra money. There are so many layers of pretty, it's difficult to describe. The base polish is a sheer frost loaded with what seems to be the hybrid of a sea foam/light turquoise glass fleck, shimmer. There are hints of tiny gold shimmer as well as the more apparent ocean blue baby hex glitters. Deborah's website labels it as a "glittered shimmer."

This is two coats with a topcoat. I stare and stare and hope that they don't turn into legs when I get out of water because this polish made a Splash! in my world =D. It is now available on Deborah Lippmann.com as well as Nordstrom's, Barney's, Neiman Marcus and Zappos websites. Will you be getting her or waiting to see if our friends at Revlon will dupe later this year?
