Mermaid scales.

"Look at this stuff... isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collections complete? Wouldn't you think, I'm the girl.. girl who has everything. Look at this trove, treasures untold. How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around you'd think.. sure, she's got everything. I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty... I have whoozits and whatsits galore, you want thingamabobs? I've got twenty. But who cares? No big deal... I want more." ~Ariel, The Little Mermaid

As soon as I saw the first swatch of Deborah Lippmann's Mermaid's Dream.. I knew I HAD to have it. There was no question. I got my first DL polishes from my tax return a couple weeks ago {Glitter in the Air and Across the Universe} and immediately fell in love... I just wish that they weren't so expensive :\ But I had a couple more bucks set aside, so I went ahead and got Mermaid's Dream and Sweet Dreams from HSN.com. This polish in the bottle... does not do it justice.. It is SO amazing once its on the nail. It was opaque for me in almost one coat, but I'm notorious for 3 coats... I just feel better that way. It does dry to a gritty finish, but it looks like a mermaid's tail! It is absolutely stunning, and I couldn't be happier with buying it!

PS. I found 3 more bottles of Sinful Colors Cinderella... I will be drawing names again through random.org from my giveaway to choose the winners... I will do that sometime this weekend and announce them here!

And lastly.. Just throwing in my instagram picture for this... I LOVED how it came out though it doesn't accurately portray the color, lol.
