That's it friends, I don't think I need to buy another nail polish, ever. I hope you are ready for these pictures I'm going to share with you. Ms. Lippmann has outdone herself again and created a nail polish nothing short of spectacular. Here it is, Mermaid's Dream, a new release for Spring 2012.

Mermaid's Dream is a teal glitter with sapphire glitter gems and subtle gold sparks. It's amazing because it creates the illusion that your nails are jewel-encrusted. Because of this, it's better actually without top coat. (The first manicure I did, I applied top coat but it had this unattractive gritty effect.) On it's own, this polish has a finish that reminds me of antique gowns, something a mermaid probably would dream of wearing if she had legs.

Application is beautiful just like all Lippmann polishes. I particularly love the brush, which picks up a good amount of polish and evenly fans it out while you polish. Dry time is practically non-existant, I think owing to the fact that this polish is predominantly glitter. I had good coverage with two coats.
Thank you, Ms. Lippmann, for such a beautiful polish to see us through seaside summer days, and beyond. And a special shout out to Neiman Marcus for such excellent (and fast!) service.
Gorgeous, gorgeous swatches. I want this sooo bad now!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah. It's pretty fantastic, isn't it.
ReplyDeletethis color is amazing.. i saw it in Glamour magazine's March 2012 edition they only had a picture of the bottle and I had to see it on someone's hands.. this is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI am literally dying to get my hands on this! Do you know if Sweet Dreams is one of the other 4 colors shown in your original sneak peak phoromps the Spring collection from a few blogs back? It was on HSN too and I can't find any swatches of it.
ReplyDeleteI Bleed Polish, I hope you get to see it in person, it is definitely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteJen, Sweet Dreams is the pink polish with gold flecks that was pictured in the photo. It is available on HSN and word from Deborah Lippmann is that it will be available for Summer, along with the navy polish with gold flecks.
